Got my snack ready….pistachio nuts.
Stevens takes this spot as seriously as every other spot on the roster. That's why he's so great.
Great job bruce !!!!
Personally I would leave it open we might see a way better fit towards the trade deadline
Edit bruce you a legend bro☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I think Gordon Hayward best fit our team 💯
As serious as this spot is I believe Brand will likely leave it open for now.. we’re already stacked and I see no need to rush on the final roster slot.. Brad will be patient for a significant talent to emerge sometime during the season I think 🤔from good G League Waivers // Better Free Agent around the league later on
😏Only one off that list I’d sign (CEDI OSMOND) if anyone 😉
Brisset made his bed when he declined that option unfortunately
I'd probably prefer Crowder out of this bunch, probably Hayward 2nd. Hayward's ceiling is much higher than the other four, but the injury issues will likely limit his abilities. The other three don't interest me much.
I prefer Brissey. If not, leave the roster spot open.
I want Marcus Morris,IT, Kenny Lofton Jr, or Celtics Legend Crowder
Is Precious Achiuwa still available? He is better than anyone on this list. How about Tyus Jones or Markelle Fultz or Lonnie Walker IV?
I'd pass on everyone on this list aside from hayward. Cant afford anyone in the 15th spot thats not jumping to be the 8th-9th man on the rotation due to the taxes involved.
1. Brissy-pass. Even he wont play over queta who's the 11th man.
2. Hayward-for the vet min, ok. I can see him displacing PP and allowing us to dump pp for picks.
3. I like roco as you know but yeah not worth adding taxes for someone who will just be the 12th best player on the roster.
4. I liked cedi osman last season but yeah he isnt breaking into the top 11 so not worth the taxes.
5. Pass on crowder. Not only does he hate the celtics but he also doesnt break into the top 11. Anyone that isnt better than sam, pp or tillmn isnt worth it. Disagree with your ranking of crowder. He should be a clear #5 if not out of the list simply due to chemistry concerns. He'd be good for another team.
Aside from these 5, you know i also like kennard, pokusevski and jordan nwora. I dont think anyone there moves into the top 8-9 aside from kennard. So the only ones out there that i think can break into the top 8-9 are hayward, kennard and tyus jones (if we dump PP only). Everyone else on the market isnt better than sam, pp or tillman.
If you can get Hayward for the vet minimum , you have to do it as he is still an excellent shooter .
