Kornet> Poeltl. At least for me. Let’s say Poeltl is better. He cost WAY more, and we have Al, Grant, Timelord, Blake, and Kornet. We don’t need more big men. We have to sign Brown soon( if he even plans on it wouldn’t blame him for wanting to leave) so we don’t need an extra 20 million on the books for 10 points and 10 rebounds
Thinking the Celtics don't need another piece to increase your chance of a championship is why they will lose. The roster is NOT perfect, plenty can be upgraded.
The biggest issue that needs to be addressed is keeping JT healthy. He’s playing hurt and needs surgery after the season. They need a guy that can truly give him rest! We need a wing that can score with a little more consistency than what we have now.
I think the Celtics should bring Josh Richardson back. He was great when he was here with the Celtics.
I never heard of any player forsberg mentioned beside spurs guy lol
I want naz Reid
We’re the best team in the league don’t trade
Why are entertain the idea of a trade as if the Celtics are in now or never situation this team is fine as they are.
I think wing depth is the more pressing need this year. We gotta get the Jays more rest. But a third big to manage Rob and Al's minutes is arguably the teams biggest long term need.
Naz Reid makes the most sense IF you are confident you can sign him long term. Filling that long term center need at the cost of Pritchard and a second would be great business (the Wolves also need shooting and point guard play).
Otherwise, I think Burks makes the most sense. A steady vet that can ease up on the Jays minutes burden. He'd space the floor and be yet another capable secondary playmaker, and he's big and sturdy enough to handle the switching and guarding up. Also signed through next year at a nice number so he'd help two playoff runs.
The other guys on this list make less sense to me. PJ is good but kinda redundant with Grant already here (Grant's a better fit here because of his ability to guard true bigs). Poetl is good but would cost a lot both asset wise and contract wise this summer and require a third team to take on Gallo's $ (San Antonio can't take him back because they waived Gallo as part of the Dejounte Murray trade). I'd rather have Reid on his likely next contract than Poetl on his going forward.
I want jae crowder back in boston.. He is a good defender and a decent 3 pt shooter..
forsbergs leg and hair
I think just using Kornet ahould be good enough consodering the value you get at his cost. Realistically youll only need 3 big man to play center which they have in Rob, Al, and Kornet. Grant could even play a small ball big. The Cs need more wing depth. Honestly Doug McDermott is probably the best addition you could add to add more size and shooting off the bench to go with Brogdon, White, Grant, and Kornet, making 4/5 of the bench shooting 37%-42% from 3
Trade Grant Williams for Jakob Poeltl
