Yeah. Would have made it a sweep for me so far!

Just got a text from an associate in Philly on business. Says they're celebrating there.

Brian Robb: Stevens on uncertain roster: “We feel good about our foundation and learn about the disappointment we all shared. We are optimistic and positive as we look towards the future. I certainly understand why it may not be (positive) on the outside.” – via Twitter BrianTRobb
Brad Stevens, Boston Celtics

Bobby Marks: Boston is now sitting at $25.8M in room (factoring in the Terry Rozier hold) after trade with Phoenix. Could increase to $34M without Rozier. – via Twitter BobbyMarks42

Hopefully enough to a top big man

but I assume we need two starting bigs now unless Tatum is our PF now

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:01 am

Certainly building cash to spend and drafting bench players.

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:03 am

It doesn't look like they want to part with any of the young core players, so it doesn't look like a trade is coming. Must be a FA plan in the works.

by **kdp59** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:13 am

IT part TWO!!!!!

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:14 am

So we pick up a PG in Isaiah Thomas. I mean Carsen Edwards.

by **cowens/oldschool** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:15 am

I know we’re all clamouring for a big, but I love Carsen Edwards!!!

Better version of Eddie House, will be instant offense, had 2 40 point games in NCAA’s.

by **KyleCleric** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:15 am

He's a lot bigger, stronger, and longer than IT.

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:16 am

Edwards, Williams, Langford.

All bench possibilities.

Building depth and cash.

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:16 am

Fernando will make a good relief pitcher for Embiid.

by **willjr** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:16 am

What a great draft, a 6-7 PF and a 6-0 SG, SMH!!!
I won't say "goodnight" because it hasn't been one. So, until the morn.

I thought Philly keeps that one. Can't keep 'em straight.

With Embid’s history he’ll get a lot of playing time.

by **mrkleen09** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:20 am

Big things to come....this isnt it. You dont trade Baynes to stay put.

KAT? Vucevic? Beal? Stay tuned.

He is a tough little guy.

Clearly they're trying to build a bench tonight.

It's a trade that hasn't been announced on TV. Shams has it, though.

We need a score card and a pen with erasible ink.

by **worcester** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:26 am

Yeah, Beal makes sense. He can play the 5 for us when Edwards gets tired.I actually do like Edwards, if we get VUC, but geez Danny couldn't you draft one real big in case your trading flops and leaves us 6'8" and under, except for RW?

by **NYCelt** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:27 am

I don't know if they'll shoot the bankroll on a max type. But if they can construct a bench with some of these picks and a few holdovers, plus hang on to Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Hayward, they might be able to afford a couple of mid-range FA players. They must have an idea of where they're going hunting, it's the only way to explain what we're seeing.

by **worcester** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:31 am

Must be Vuc, but Favors may also be in play.

by **mrkleen09** Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:31 am

Interesting story about Romeo

He injured his thumb IN NOVEMBER and refused surgery until after the season was over so he could help his teammates. He slipped to 14 because of it, but still was more concerned with his team than himself. Exactly the kind of character you want in a young man.
