    Damn. I feel like he definitely could’ve got atleast 5 Mil from another team. I’m so glad he’s back.

    We are lucky the market was soft on him. His terrible fg% he had in memphis last year before we traded for him probably helped

    I wonder if the second year is a player option, I bet it is

    I’m surprised. By the way, how big is Kornet’s new contract? Haven’t seen a source.

    That’s shocking if true. He must really like it here.

  5. Damn, we’re lucky. I feel like Tillman has become insanely underrated all of a sudden. This guy is a legit starting level center in my eyes. He is a great defender and improved every year, and only 25.

  6. The Celtics have built an organizational culture that attracts players who’ll play for less. Best franchise in basketball.

  7. Definitely surprised to have him back on the minimum. I think the market didn’t really come together on him, there were only so many teams in the market to spend at all and they sort of coalesced around the same handful of guys. I really thought he would get a raise this year, and we would use his bigger salary for matching in potential trades. However, with the tax hits as big as they are, probably not an option.

    I love that we have full bird rights on every single person on the roster now (assuming Brissett and Svi are really gone), and basically everything is figured out already. Trades are going to be extremely difficult this year, but we also have no holes, so it should be okay. We’re literally at least 3 deep with guys I’d be thrilled to give minutes to at all 5 positions.

    Tillman needs to obsess on his 3 this offseason. If he gets that down, he will get paid.

    Wow vet min?? He couldve got more than that elsewhere. Love to see him back in green no doubt

    Shoutout to X Man. I have no doubt he could have found something over the minimum on another team

    With Porzingis out 6 months and Al approaching 40, it was low key very important of Brad to retain the Tillman/Kornet/Queta trio. Those 3 are going to compose our center rotation a lot of games next year and I have faith in them to hold it down

    He’s only 25. If he does well he’ll be primed to get a bigger deal at the end of 2.

    Wow he is sacrificing a lot for another chip. Could’ve gotten a bigger deal on literally every other team. Let’s go X man!!

    I’m not surprised tbh. He has had his moments but wouldn’t go deep into my pockets for him. I feel like they’ll give him this following year to learn from AL to truly see his value.
