I do NOT understand tonight's line.

Nuggets should never be less than 6 point favorites in any game this series.

Hope everyone is cashing dem checks today thanks to your old friend EM.

(I am staying away in Game 4 even though I expect the Nuggets to win. Nothing about this Heat team makes sense so I'm playing it extra safe. Game 5 is where the money is going.)
 
Is it Bye Bye time:

Pritchard?
Yes, he wants out. There is a crowd at his position.

Grant Williams?
Yes, he hasn't delivered for the money he wants and the Celtics don't have much Cap money. Gallinari will probably replace him on the bench.

Malcolm Brogdon?
Yes, he may need surgery for his elbow. Didn't produce when needed even with the injury. They will keep Smart and have White so I think they trade Brodgon for money.

Jaylen Brown?
No, they want to build around the duo even knowing that the Celtics do better when Brown in on the bench for all the reasons we know. I would like to trade him but I am not in control.

Al Horford?
No, no other team would take him at his age and salary IMO.

Jason Tatum?
No. He is the Celtic's main stay for now. He is young. IMO he is not a league MVP but then I did not think Embiid was #1 over Jokic. I thought Tatum as MVP of the All Star game was a joke and went to his head, he got careless.

Marcus Smart?
No, they are keeping him, period.

Derrick White?
No, staying no need to discuss.

RW Williams III?
No, staying. IMO keeping him is a mistake, his production vs. dollars is not there.

Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla are staying.

2024 Championship team? IMO, No
2024 in Championship 7 game series? IMO No

Pritchard Yes, best for both parties.
Williams. Yes, they could use his d on power forwards, and his offensive game has some glue-guy qualities, but there is a market, and they should be able to acquire a more dynamic offensive player.
Smart YES IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, trade him. It will give the franchise a much-needed mental reset and they may actually be able to finish a game.
Brown, I don't want him getting the max as it will gut the roster. I know as sure as I am sitting here, he will walk for nothing without it.

Marcus Smart?
No, they are keeping him, period.

I hate when it sticks you in the middle of long posts. I am for blowing it up and a re-tool around Tatum. NBA is the one sport where you can do it in an off-season.

Celtic's added Sam Cassell to Mazzulla's bench and now they have added Charles Lee from the Bucks' staff where he was associate Head coach. So it is impressive to see the reaction of upper management to a need, but if Mazzulla's plan is to improve the 3 point shooting and not the defense they don't need more coaches to miss the goal.
Just my thoughts

I understand the frustration with the this forum.

I can't agree that they should trade Smart. If Brogdon produced in the playoffs they would have been a better duo than Tatum and Brown. We need a big guy to work with Horford, I keep saying this.

I hate giving money to Brown, rewarding failure doesn't set we'll we me.

We shall see what they will do. They are adding to the coaching staff.

Watching this game tonight, Monday's game 5 and this series, it is evident that the Celtics couldn't beat Denver, and they didn't beat Miami. We need a big tall because we have Horfotd he is old and retiring so he needs a fill in, RW III isn't that person nor is Kornet. Our big talks are cheap $ you get what you pay for. Too bad we are stuck with Cap and player problems. If only we could do over.
