And go on ahead and hit that sub button for him because we are going to be live tomorrow for the NBA trade deadline and look we know Brad Stevens doesn’t sleep we don’t sleep either so if Brad Stevens decides to make another trade ahead of that deadline we’re going to be all over

It be sure to hit that subscribe button I do not want you guys to be the only Boston Celtic fan that doesn’t know what the heck is going on you don’t have to worry about it all you have to do is hit that sub button and we’re going to fill

You guys in I am Ali Beford the host of Celtics today producer Smitt is right here to my right and agent Ro Janowski did break the news just moments ago saying the Memphis Grizzlies are trading Xavier Tillman to the Boston Celtics for two second round picks sources tell ESPN

Now this is a 20207 second round pick via Atlanta and this is a 2030 second round pick via Dallas this is a phenomenal trade for the Boston Celtics to make because no players have to get cut they don’t send anybody away and they’re going to really hit a lot of

Their necessary needs heading into playoffs would they trade like this he is a very cheap but very good rotation piece that Boston Celtics can use immediately because like I said in the past videos they’re not looking for anybody to replace the starting six starters they’re looking to improve the

Bench and I think Tillman improves the bench let’s break it down just a little bit more here Bobby marks Did tweet this out saying that Tilman was also on expiring $1.9 million contract his salary will go into the Justin Jackson traded player exception which I know a

Lot of Celtics fans out there forget that the Celtics even had because it was such a small tpe the Celtics will inherit his bird rights and cons sign him in the off season despite their financial limitations Boston had eight second picks available before this trade and don’t panic they still have PL more

Trades available and I can tell you about that excuse me draft picks available I’ll tell you about that a little bit later in this show but first and foremost the reason why we have Celtics today so that I bring you guys the facts I show you guys the stats and

Then you guys give me your opinion onew reaction to the Tillman trade I’m just going to go solid a solid pickup for the Boston Celtics does this push the needle it has yet to be seen but I think fact that he can play 25 minutes night in

Night Out is solid for Brad Stevens and the Boston and Celtics to make this move 24 hours for the deadline is even happen and it might not be over yet go on ahead and comment your one-word reaction to the Xavier Tilman trade and before I can

Go deeper into who Xavier Tilman even is I have to give a huge shout out to the sponsor here on Celtics today of course it is prize picks and this just makes having daily fantasy so much more exciting because all you guys have to do is pick between two six players and just

Pick more or less on their projected St and you can win up to 25 times your money on any entry the best part is priz pick constantly has deals out there to almost help you win money right now they do have 99% off total passing yards for

Pat Mahomes during the big game if you think Pat Mahomes is going to have more than one passing yard go ahead and hit that more button because it’s almost a guaranteed win and then I have Christian mcaffrey having more than 90 and a half rushing yards it’s the big game I have a

Feeling he’s going to be ground and pound but the Chiefs running back will have some answers there’s a reason why there’s a demon next to Isaiah Pacho because demon means harder pick bigger payout a Green Goblin version of him means easier pick not as much of a

Payout but it’s a guarantee almost win I would not ahead pick more for all these picks Life’s too short I always go the more but you can copy these picks or you can make your own just go to prize picks.com CNS use promo code clns for first time

Deposit match up to $100 and you’re going to be able to watch yourself win some real money in real time let’s break down Xavier Tillman’s stats throughout this season and let me tell you this right off the bat this is not going to be flashy we were never supposed to get a flashy

Player but six points per game is fine five rebounds is excellent one block per game is incredible and then 40% from the field is absolutely fine considering that he plays 20.6 minutes per game but he does a lot more off the box score he’s been well he’s been known to show

Up B other against other big and he’s definitely got some time in playoffs that underneath his belt which extremely helps and he can match up against bigger Wings on the perimeter which is huge and if you look at his career stats he’s obviously getting better throughout the

Years and this is just overall a huge win for the Boston Celtics who have already been doing pretty much everything this entire season he’s an excellent Defender he’s a solid rotation player and he’s a great player to fill that last spot like I said he can defend

All five POS position positions he is dominant in steals and blocks especially with five rebounds per game that’s really going to help the leader Jason Tatum clean the glass we’ve seen O’Shea brette wiggle his way into the rotation by cleaning the glass it’s going to make a difference primarily on defense if

Xavier Tilman can add on a couple more points when he coming in come comes off the bench I’m obviously all for that but here’s a stat I found on Twitter when this news broke and I thought it was extremely interesting so I’m going to break it down here for you guys Xavier

Tillman is one of 14 players averaging at least a steel and a block but he’s the only player to do so while playing under 25 minutes per game that’s what you’re requiring Xavier Tillman to do play 25 minutes or less night in night out especially when Joe Missoula has

Love sitting Al Horford or Chris as porzingis every other game well now you’re going to add a fourth big man into that mix so you’re not going to have to play Chris as porzingis when he’s still trying to come back from an ankle injury because luk and Al Horford

Are hurt now you’ve got Xavier Tilman that you can rely on as he’s been in and out of the starting lineup and the rotation pieces for the Memphis Grizzlies over the past three and a half years like I said not flashy stats but just enough to push the needle for the

Boston Celtics bench so overall I got to ask you guys grade the trade for Xavier Tillman honestly I I don’t see a fault in this trade I’m going to give it an A minus just because I haven’t seen it work in person yet just because I haven’t seen Tillman on the floor with

The Celtics yet I can’t give it an A+ if I haven’t seen the guy play yet with the Boston Celtics so give me an A minus I think this is huge you don’t say goodbye to anybody you say goodbye to two second round picks and you bring in a big man I

Love it and Brad Stevens knows that there’s still more on the table since they use the Jackson tpe and only two second round picks the Grant Williams $6.2 million tpe is still available and the trade deadline isn’t until tomorrow Brad Stevens is a genius I fully agree

With that and plus this was a great move to fill that final roster spot however Brad Stevens is going to have to be a GM and all sense GM in the sense that if he does want to add one more player by the NBA trade deadline which he obviously

Could with the 6.2 million tpe somebody’s got to go but that’s not saying Brad Stevens will do do this I could see him possibly just getting rid of the tpe to really make sure the Celtics win Banner 18 this year like he said earlier I will go at no expense to

Be sure that we win this year and there are still some Boston Celtics needs that can be addressed while the trade deadline is still present however Tillman does address a lot of these things he is a rotation piece he adds injury Insurance to the big man position

And it it provides a little bit of wing depth as he can play the four and Center position but overall there are still players out there at least worth $6.2 million if he really wants to make a splash and you really want to make sure every single Bost in Celtics needs is

Met because personally I think pton Pritcher has been inconsistent this season if they could go out and get another backup point guard that’d be huge but I think the big man position the front Court especially was Dire for a pickup Tillman will be a free agent in

The off season which is okay like you guys saw on Bobby Marx’s tweet is that they will have the bird rights to be able to own him in free agency and have be have to uh dish him out in whichever way they see foot so Tillman will be a

Free agent this off season they will have the chance to resign him if they do think that he did great this past season but it has yet to be seen overall the Celtics do still have plenty of assets and that’s what makes me so excited for the Boston Celtics $6.2 million tpe

Three first round picks which is huge because most teams that have anybody worth noting worthy of a trade wants a first round pick and then like you said ear like we said earlier they had eight second round picks before the Tillman trade now they have six which is still

Plenty in order to make a move happen so my question to you guys is should the Celtics make another move before the deadline that is tomorrow afternoon 300 p.m. eastern time you guys are not going to want to miss it go on ahead and comment down below if the the Celtics

Should make another move before the trade deadline go ahead and drop a name as well down there below if you guys know a player you want the Celtics to pick up and while you guys are doing that let me remind you we’re going to be live tomorrow for the deadline we are

Going live at 12:00 p.m. eastern time and we are not stopping until Brad Stevens stops which we all know that could be a very long time we want you guys to come join us we want the Celtics today faithful to come see us during the day not during the night normally for a

Watch party during a Celtics game but we’ll be live tonight we’re going to be live tomorrow let’s have a good time all you guys have to do is hit that sub Button
