Fuck
Whatever tf Brad is doing better be worth it. I’m annoyed. I wanted Grant. I think he is valuable.
I get matching but also understand not matching bc the second apron is so shit. Will miss him!
Sad
Cheap ownership strikes again
He wouldn’t play all that much for us when our squad is fully healthy. I still think we need one more depth front court piece due to injury concerns, and like I said earlier today, I don’t think they even need to be as good as Grant.
So he probably gets 12/13/14/15? Trade exception is half of his outgoing salary, so it’s a $6 million trade exception and a couple seconds… okay…!
😐😑
Wyc doesn’t wanna pay grant that much. This isn’t on brad entirely, but let’s see if this leads to something else
Despite Grant shortcomings, he was okay guarding Embiid and Giannis. Now I’m kinda worried as we’re left with 2 injury prone guy and an elderly left to guard them.
Celtics finally get a big only to lose a big then complain why they can’t defend bigs
We couldn’t just keep him? Wtf?
He’s not worth $13 million a year at the end of the day. He’s a solid role player, but even if they had the money, I’d rather spend it elsewhere
Wow so we did end up shit-canning all of our 2019 draft picks lol
It’s 13million for us fans but 50 for wyc. Not sure if it’s a Brad thing ownership cheaped out
Love Grant but he’s replaceable, especially at that price
What was the rumored offer from the Celtics last year? Felt like this was low to lose Grant over. But I get it.
Good luck to Grant thooo
sayonara pal, definitely did not want to keep at that price
If this is to get Dame, OK but now we are going to have too many stars that need the ball. There will need to be a change in player expectations for carrying the load. It could work out if the team works together like a loaded 80s Celtics or Lakers team but it won’t work if they all expect to get fed the same as when they were 1 of 1 or 1 of 2 stars on a team.
Tatum gets the most shots
Then Dame
Then Brown
Then KP.
If Brown goes as part of this trade, it might actually work out better.
Creates about a 13 mil TPE. That could be very valuable mid-season after we know more about our roster needs.
Trading Grant on this little contract? Just match, come on now!!
Get that bag’
If this is a straight cap dump and there’s not another move in the works this off-season I’m gonna be really annoyed.
Odds on Grant getting into it with Luka or Kyrie this year?
Our entire team is becoming unrecognizable. Brad better know what he’s doing or imma cry.
I think it’s smart given the CBA. Sucks to lose that versatile defender but with all the draft capitol Celts can pivot this offseason, mid-season and in the future and get role players around JT, JB, and KP.
Really hoping there’s more to this. So far looking like a bad move.
No trade exception?
