Smart and TA in the same back court, no scoring buy some real black n' blues being handed out.

Seriously...their gonna need some scoring off the bench. Maybe Green would fit.

I haven't really watched tony Allen play for a few years, does he still have any tread on the tires or is he cooked?  If on the cheap, that might be a nice def guard stopper to add.

We need another shooter. Gerald Green.

Tony Allen and Bogut.

Swap Bogut for Zeller and I'd be good with it.

No way I want Bogut as our 3rd string center - his main role would be as injury insurance but Bogut is too injury prone for that.

Are there any good rebounders that aren't really fragile and may be available for the vet min? Like a Reggie Evans type?
I'm bitter.

My thoughts too.
does Bogut have anything left in the tank?  I thought he was pretty well at the end of his career.

Celtics really need one more vet

Team was at 16 before the trade

Gerald green or tony allen would be decent options

No to Bogut. We already have Baynes. Also Theiss

Same here.

The Aussie duo at center will be nice and they have familiarity playing with each other for years. Both TA and Bogut bring toughness and experience to the team.

I know Ray Allen is retired, but what if he could still play at a role player level and wanted to return? Would many be willing to forget the past and add an elite shooter that would give our Big 3 unbelievable spacing?

We can cut Larkin and sign 2 vets instead.  Larkin really only seemed like insurance in case IT wasn't ready

Why would Danny do that? That is a low move

Man, too bad we had to let go of AB to get Hayward. He would've been a really, really ideal fit next to Kyrie in the backcourt.

I'm hoping Brown can focus on improving his D to become our long-term starting 2.

My thoughts too.

I'm inclined to agree.  While Bogut's injury risk scares me, and it seems like he's sure to go down for the season eventually, we can't do better than a healthy Bogut for the minumum.
