because surgery potentially has a 12 month rehab process. It's his contract year (and the Celtics were going to need him) so the idea was to avoid surgery and get him back on the court as soon as possible.

Glad that's over, now we get to move onto a year of Lebron Watch since we seem to know Gilbert's plans for next year.

IT got paid shit and was a god damn beast for his size
I hope someone pays him because he deserves it
He will be missed
Thank you for the clarification.
In 14 months Ainge has acquired Al Horford, Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, and drafted 2 top 3 picks. Pretty incredible when you think about it.
It's going to be so weird watching this team next year given the near total roster turnover, and it'll be a little bittersweet. The last 3 or so years with this group was really great to watch, but looking forward to seeing what this group can do.

Seems like most Celtics fans forget this too
Doesn't matter if you think we overpaid, Ainge is doing incredible work.

Lol a 2020 second round pick from the Heat? That's what all this fuss was about?

And Lebron's going to return to Miami and send that pick to the low 50 out of spite.
All this while making the playoffs and advancing further every year, preserving cap flexibility, and retaining young players with room to grow. It's basically unprecedented given the circumstances.
The key, in my mind, is Stevens.

I'm good with this as it doesn't seem to prevent us being George next offseason. They can swallow 500k.

Lol $500k for tampering with a guy who's definitely going to get a max contract. At least make them give up a second round pick or something.
What happens when he goes to college?

Nah. Bron, George and Westbrook gotta go the Durant route and "take one for the team"
Just wait.

Honestly, they don't look half bad. But of course, they are egregiously overpriced.

And he was sitting on the bench for way too long. Finland has this weird custom that even if you are over the hill and can barely move, they will still put you on the court before a younger and better player. Always been that way.
