And you gotta love the Sox!...scored five in the bottom of the 8th to beat the MFYankees!...
I caught the double that pulled the pitcher with the no hitter going but didn't think they could get enough runs to tie so I moved onto a movie ... Damn! Have to catch the replay tonight.

Cab, Moses is the Brown Dee referred to in his post ... That's true. What isn't true. He wasn't found drifting in the Nile in a basket.... So many theads i can't keep up so i'll post this here. The Hawks are about 30 mil under the cap? . The talk now is Cam or Huerter will be traded for a draft pick because unlike us they are looking ahead a couple years..... Not resigning Cam or Huerter they save at least 10 mil more and can sign a rookie ist rounder for less than half and still have money left for a SF or SG. Package one of these with the 20th pick and they may get into the mid teen range...... Why in the world would they let Collins go and why would he leave? He can get more from the Hawks then us is my guess and by all accounts they still want him..

I'm shocked the guy is even still brought up in terms of us getting him

Talk is they will move Cam if anyyone. he and Hunter are due to be extended the same year. As for Huerter i have no clue little has been said.. The Hawks are looking at two years down the road which is reasonable. The Bucks and or the Nets have next year almost locked up. Providing Irving doesn't get a bed in the Psych Ward... Collins will take 4/90 that they offered or something close. He could go the shorter route 2 or 3 year deal and then sign a max he's still young.. No way the Celtics go 4 /100 i don't think..........

Is he a free agent? Collins is restricted with Bird Rights next year, Cam and Hunter have two more years. Huerter is heading into the final year of his rookie deal, which means he'll be extension-eligible beginning in August. Given the Hawks' upcoming array of difficult financial decisions, they may decide to punt on an extension for now and allow him to become a restricted free agent in 2022. Most like to avoid 4 extensions in two years one of Cam Hunter or Huerter will have to go. Sjnce its easier to replace a wing than promising young PF one would think signing Collins would be the 1st priority. Me? I package Cam or Huerter with the 20th pick for maybe a Jalen Johnson type or a rookie that can play at least two maybe three positions......

think about it, we complaint about Smart not able to hit anything. Fournier can hit them. Whats not to like? We just need togetherness and team ball Smart is a way better shooter than folks here give him credit for...not to mention the hustle, the intangibles... He’s a career 38% shooter, which is horrendously bad

Pop don't look so great, trying to coach these guys! Yabusele had 6 points and 4 boards! The Dancing bear lives!! lets not put it on the coach. Fiba rules are exposing soft nba basketball. Way more physical in international games and tournaments. You mean we can’t blame the coach cause it’d be Pop? 😉

Not sure how many of them have lost their coaching ability I love X's and O's, but coaching is also about inspiration, leadership, and being Rock Solid. If you were a player would you believe pop had your best interest over his own?

If you were a player would you believe pop had your best interest over his own? Well you have to think, his coaching style has been one of the most successful ever. I think without Duncan hes a regular Joe, much like pretty much everybody else I think his best interests are winning, what do you think they are? I guess wed have to start there.

How Cs can take advantage of Grizzlies fire sale by Chris Conte
With the conclusion of the NBA finals, the NBA offseason has begun in full swing, and the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies have headed it off, swapping picks and veterans. The Grizzlies took on Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe’s unattractive contracts in exchange for New Orleans’ 10th and 51st pick. At the same time, the Pelicans received Jonas Valanciunas, the 17th pick, the 50th pick, and a protected 2022 first-round pick from the Lakers. Overall, the deal was pretty even, and both clubs benefited from what they got, but the important takeaway from the trade for the Boston Celtics lies within the details.
The Grizzlies are in a tough spot. They have Ja Morant, who looks to be on All-NBA trajectory, and Jaren Jackson Jr, who has shown flashes of All-time two-way dominance but can’t stay healthy, as their foundation pieces.
Outside of them, Memphis has done a great job plucking role players out of the late first-early second-round and finding good players that are being misused, like DeAnthony Melton. They have a solid core, but even they know it’s destined for mediocrity as their rivals load up on generational talents and surround those talents with marquee-free agents.
As a small market, the Grizzlies need to grow through the draft and through the trade markets, which means during summers like these, they are particularly active.
There’s no way of knowing who the Grizzlies will take with the 10th pick, but what we do know is they have a stacked frontcourt. Between Steven Adams, Xavier Tillman, Jaren Jackson Jr, and Kyle Anderson, the Grizzlies have more depth than they might like, which means they will be looking to sell on the outlier.
That would be Anderson, who is on an expiring deal this season and does not fit the Grizzlies’ timeline. Since Memphis capitalized on Valanciunas’ expiring contract by moving up in the draft, it’s safe to assume they’ll be looking to cash in on Anderson before he walks for nothing next summer.
Enter the Boston Celtics. Since Marcus Morris’ departure, the Cs have lacked a versatile presence in their power forward rotation. Although Grant Williams did a good job providing that his rookie year and Jabari Parker may be able to do so, Brad Stevens needs to make an effort to secure a better backup for his best player if the Boston Celtics are to contend for Banner #18.
Kyle Anderson fits like a glove in Beantown, and the Boston Celtics need to hunt him down before another contender trades for him.
Anderson is a 27-year-old 6’9 power forward with a 7’3 wingspan that just had the best season of his career with Memphis. He’s painfully slow, but he’s incredibly balanced, and his lack of burst allows him to do things most guys his size can’t.
Anderson has exceptional touch and vision for someone his size, and his height combined with his reduced speed allows him to pick apart defenses and make more concise decisions under pressure.
He’s a solid outside shooter, cashing 36% of his 261 3-pointers, and he’s a very versatile team defender. His skill sets would fit very nicely off the bench.
What’s most important about Anderson is his contract. He is set to make $9.7 million in 2021-22 then will become a free agent. Given his abilities, that is an absolute steal and a contract the Boston Celtics should covet. Not only can they match it with Tristan Thompson’s contract, but they also free up approximately $10 million for next summer when they go for a superstar free agent.
Anderson has the talent, is cheap, and has experience with Ime Udoka back in his San Antonio Spurs days. It’s a no-brainer. If the Grizzlies are looking to capitalize on Anderson’s expiring deal, the Boston Celtics must get him on the next flight to Boston.

I'm not sure Thompson makes any sense for them in swap, when i look at their current roster.
but we do have that TPE left from haywards trade that would fit Anderson's salary nicely.
a second round pick for their trouble?
then we can move Thompson in another minor deal for depth elsewhere.

Any chance TT can bring us a draft pick (mid-late 1st rd) in lieu of another contract?
Seems like plenty of teams are willing to move out of the draft or down ...

I honestly think TT has negative trade value.

Schroder, Dunn, Madar Brown, Langford, Edwards Tatum, Richardson, Nesmith Markkanen, Parker, Millsap RWill, Horford, Fernando
One can dream, can't you?
