Marcus is the one that filled in after his brother went down with injury in the playoffs last year. Must be why Danny loves him.

Markieff is but Marcus isn't a bad bench player to have if this means they don't need to move Crowder now.

Any big is better than playoff Amir
Told people he was the one to get moved. He was gone next year. Hayward at SG?
I'm actually pretty happy with that trade. Get a big body with 2 years on a great deal, keep Crowder.
That being said, very sad to see Avery go. Loved watching him develop into one of the premier 2-way guards in the NBA over the course of the last several seasons. He was the last of the 3 that I wanted to see go, but it's clear they weren't going to be able to keep him after next season.
I'd assume this clears the way for the Pistons not to sign KCP.
Do you know Marcus and Markieff both averaged exactly 14.0 ppg last year? That's amazing.

I'll miss Avery. I guess the starting lineup is going to be IT-Hayward-Jae-Morris-Hortford
Edit: Marcus Smart is now the longest tenured Celtic on the team.

I know it had to be done, but I'm going to miss Bradley. Loved watching him play here over the years. Hope he does well in Detroit. So, I guess this means Crowder is going to stay as a starter and Hayward will play the 2? Wonder how they'll divvy up minutes for Brown and Tatum. It'll be interesting to see what kind of groups Brad sends out there.
I fucking love this move. OUt of the 3 bradley was easily the most expandable. An incredibly one dimensional fragile player. Streaky shooter, who could only score off picks/curls, and had lousy handles with no ability whatsoever to pass. This move adds size and some toughness. Morris rebound numbers should come up a bit without drummond vacuuming them in. It'll still be a weak spot, but the size alone should help a lot with positioning.
This opens up room for Jaylen to play the 2 and mix and match lineups. Probably more to come.

So who's going to pay KCP?

The Nets?
Pat Riley was stupid enough to retire Jordan's number. He might throw Ray a bone.

Kinda annoyed with the Wiz for dragging out the match. Just do it already and let the Nets continue their trolling to other teams!

Would it really be trolling if they actually intend on signing KCP though?

I'm good with that move.
It looks like Rozier can take down his snapchat photo.
If Rozier is staying put, I'd be good with that.
Oh yeah. He's gonna get paid. Probably by Detroit.

Friend why must you turn your back on a legend that brought us so much awesomeness?
On this trade, I'm not sure I love it lol. I knew AB was the most expendable of them all because of his contract, but I'm not a huge fan of Morris if he's starting. Plus, is Hayward comfortable playing the 2?
Brad basically says the only positions are ball handler wing or bigs..

Hopefully THJ grows and develops into a more well rounded player. Still young but my gawd at the $$$$$$$

Not sure if I like the trade. They need a big, but that's not enough..
Plus:
More consistent than Oly
Negative:
Nobody to cover for IT on defense..

Here's the roster now before any moves to make space for Yabu. Could use some more small forwards.

True but he still needs to guard the guy on the other team and Crowder is slow as fuck to guard 2s. But from what I'm looking, his numbers are pretty much identical guarding the 2 or the 3 so there is that.
Morris is a PF not an SF

MVP Brown x Taytum will be the Klays for guards
To stop point guards you need shooting guards to stop them

Morris played more time at the 4 last season than at the 3.

It worked out well when they tried that in Boston.
I'm as big of an Avery fan as you can find, but just no. Forcing him to be a lead ball handler maximizes all his weaknesses and minimizes his strengths.

Would the Celtics be interested in Courtney Lee?

Who is going to rebound? They needed a big that can rebound not another 3/4 hybrid...
The more I think about the trade the more I hate it.
By trading Bradley now (expiring contract over 10 mil) they are giving up on any bigger trades being made.
I'm actually getting kinda angry because then need another 1/2 player and a 4/5 that can defend/rebound..

No. Too much money and they've already been through that.
Markieff is slightly better from the games I've watched the past few years. But I don't know if that's because he was on a better team win better coaching or what.
But still, Marcus is a solid player. Always hustles and puts in effort at both ends of the floor. I'll be sad to see him go. Still, Pistons suck atm so at least he'll have a chance to take it to the Cavs.

Losing Bradley made me revise the Celtics back down to 4-1 loss to the Cavs.

Detroit just wants to ruin his value so that the Spurs can get him for cheap next year.

Freeing cap space and getting something for a player they were going to lose next year.
Enjoy overpaying for KCP. Pistons walked from him for a reason.
