Cool it now 🍦 ooooh watch out. Love the signing. The one thing you can say this team lacks is vet presence-despite having Gallo even though he’s unlikely to step foot on a court this season. Have a great weekend everyone & thanks John & Tom. ☘️🔒
Love you guys. Hilarious. Never change.

It's crazy to think that 20 million is lite work in the NBA nowadays, there's guys who played whole 15-year careers that didn't make that much.
Bojan Bogdanovic, I have a feeling the Celtics are watching him as a Gallinari replacement. His salary is 3.5 million. today he helped Pistons defeat the Mavs with 4-4-30 on 10-14 shooting. He played well against us too. Averaging 20 points this season, Same age-size-position as Danilo
I feel like this was best case scenario for the yearly price
Don't be surprised if Timelord has been practising 3 point shooting and or midrange shooting the last few months. Doesn't need to jump for either, might have been the first things he started doing again..

I wish I could have a conversation with you both
I'd rather rob come off the bench in place of Luke Kornet. You can't rely on him, and putting him in the starting lineup will just screw everything up when he invariably gets hurt again because you'll ruin the chemistry these guys have developed.
Who's the belt champion?
He wasn't gonna make the mistake of leaving just for money again. I bet his wife said "honey, you're so much happier here, remember OKC, is just a little money compared to you career earnings with going through that again?"

Lol funny thing is none of them players or coaches cared at all about the royal family being there. You woulda thought JT did by the royal performance he put on but it’s because grant predicted he would score 50.. so close
Hope the Cs win the championship this year so that retiring Al’s number after this extension is over is a no-brainier rather than a debate.
If the Cs win it all this year, Jayson Tatum should be MVP and Joe Mazzulla Coach of the Year.
I like the signing, but dont love it. Al semi deserves it, I just wish I knew why now…. like to me they wanted to wait til next year to start extending people…. but maybe it offers some help for this season or in future seasons… I am sure you John will break it all down and then it will make sense.
It's definitely white to the bench when Rob is back and healthy and in game shape. But to start off, Rob coming off the bench is prolly the smartest option.
I'm going to sleep but I'm going to listen first thing in the morning. I think we paid Al too much but I hope he wins 3 or maybe even 4 chips with the Celtics
John the book is great. But common. We want above average merch. Is there a deal with locked on you cant do merch? Be honest. Ps luke skyblocker needs to stick.
