I'm cool with 28 million over For years wouldn't be excited at much more though. He's still young so it's a fair deal.

He'll get a minimum of $29 million, with the first year starting a shade over $6.5 million (his cap hold for next season), and 7.5% raises.  I doubt he agrees to something so low, but I'm sure Ainge would agree to that.

Nice backup C, but not worth that amount.

Over.

Slightly over.
I think the max that Ainge will fork out is something like 4 years x $8.5 ($34 million).
Anymore and just let him walk.

Read that last line again. One more time.

I definitely think Zeller is going to ask for 8-10. And possibly get it.

With the cap space rising, I don't see why Zeller wouldn't. Sure he fits extremely well in Brad's system, but at the same time, he's gotta feed himself.

Sure enough.

Stevens likes Zeller enough to a certain point where Ainge is open to at least overpaying slightly for him. Whether he becomes a valuable trade chip, or a potential asset is up in the air.

What do the Celtics lose, really, if they sign him to something like 5 years / $50 million?

Do you think he'll be untradeable?  Do you think he'll eat up cap space the Celts might otherwise use on a better player?

Well over. Fairly talented, young big men are getting paid big time with the Cap explosion.

the question on the poll doesn't make sense. You can't ask more or less and then ask us to vote on yes or no. He will get more and probably a front loaded contract that will help us later to add more assets or make him more valuable in a trade.

hopefully under, I think that he is already very close to reaching his ceiling.

Many die hard fans......

He should be traded as a backup center to a good team because that is what he is. Why please do people think this is football or hockey? NBA is a different platform and you need the right stars to win a title. So maybe we should focus on attaining just 1 star before we add depth.

I remember many of you laughed at the hypothetical Rondo and Gerald Wallace 4 IT Ben Mclemore, pick, absorb wallace's contract, and fillers......if only you knew that in a short time IT would be the best player on our team.....I guarantee tears would come down your face.

Respectfully, if you stop being a fan of the Celtics because they sign Tyler Zeller to more money than you think he's worth, you're the exact opposite of a die-hard fan.
