| This is obviously all pipe but are we sure Kessler's even a good player? We have too many 1D players on this roster and he's another one of them. |

I feel that if that trade was there the Lakers would have done it by now. |
The problem is that Ainge probably wants 3 1st round picks for Sexton and Kessler, the Lakers don’t want to give up the picks for mid tier players they want to save those picks in case a star player like Curry or any other big star becomes available during the season |

I agree and I guess you would need to ask, is it better to have that 1D at the 5 spot allowing AD to roam and be happy playing the 4? OR have Rui/Vando as that 1D meaning AD stays put at playing the 5. |

Problem is AD can't score from the perimeter reliably. I pray that comes back this year, but until it does, he's a 5 on offense which means the second "big" has to space.
I'd love Kessler as a backup big obviously, but wouldn't be willing to give up 1 FRP + more stuff for a backup big who may or may not be a good player. |

Some think Ainge is asking for 2 1st round picks for Kessler and probably seeking another one if Sexton is included in the deal, he’s gonna try robbing Pelinka or Rosas in every way possible

You sure that’s the real Lonnie Walker it might be another person using a similar name lmao  |
think its 1 year deal its him cant be exhibit 10 i dont think. |
I just read that it’s indeed a Exihibit 10 deal there gonna take him into training camp and see if he’s worth keeping or assign him to G League |
Celtics just got better, don't forget he was our 3rd best player before he went down with the injury. |
1. He was never our third best player.
2. It says more about our team building that he was an important guy for us than it does about his ability. |
In Nov and Dec of 2022 before Lonnie Walker IV got injured he was the 3rd best player on the Los Angeles Lakers. If anyone disagrees, please look it up.

Lonnie Walker should have signed with a team that would have made him boost his value, not sure Boston is a good place for that, he’s basically guaranteed to get waived or ask to be waived |

Yep, I agree, he’s shown flashes of usefulness but has been unable to put an entire season together. It was the same in San Antonio before LAL. It doesn’t look like a fit with the Keltics to help boost his value but considering it’s an Exhibit 10 and not even vet min, it might have been his only option.

If you like bigs who rebound, block shots and try to dunk everything in the paint, then Kessler's ideal.
Otherwise, he sucks.

utah has a decent coach and decent players (appartently) yet they sucked. So those same players on a team with a rookie head coach and guys that wont evolve will all of a sudden lead us to wins?

Heard he’s playing in a Greek league, not sure how strong the competition is but from a guy who played a role in the Miami Heat going to the Finals, he’s fallen off a cliff in a major way |

If I’m Lonnie, and there is no opportunity for me to show what I have with a NBA team, I would go sign in some European league and stay there for a year and show the other GMs how good I am, lots of players have done it before, there is some NBA players who are playing in Europe right now |

What would yall give up to get JimmyB? Both picks? AR? Knetch? Max? Along with salaries
| Quote: | Jimmy Butler 'likes' Brooklyn Nets?
Butler reportedly has decided he’ll play out next season and won’t extend in Miami ahead of his opt-out in 2025. The odds of him picking up his player option are slim unless he agrees to a max deal with the Heat beforehand. The six-time All-Star is the most accomplished standout on that list not named James, and he likes Brooklyn, according to sources close to the player. – via New York Post |

Lonnie Walker on the Celtics? Rich get richer. Perfect for the 5-out scheme they run. He'll be the most open he's ever been in his entire career and can easily average 12-14 points off the bench.

He's on an Exhibit 10 deal which means he's their 15th man and likely gets cut. He's almost out of the league. This board is so thirsty. |

We'll see. It's still a low risk, high reward move, much in the same way Porzingis was.

Who would he even get minutes over in their rotation? |

If he gets minutes it’ll likely be in the G-League.
| Quote: | | Contract details for Lonnie Walker IV with the Celtics, sources said: Exhibit 10. An E10 allows Celtics to give a bonus to Walker if he is waived after training camp and plays for the team's G League affiliate in Maine. |
It would bring me great joy if he cracked the Celtic rotation because he’s not good.

I know I'm going to receive a lot of negative feedback for this but I firmly believe JJ is going to insist that Hayes play that role. JJ wanted him back and knows his potential from playing with NO. Hayes is only 25 lbs lighter but can fill that role. If Hayes cant fill that role, play D, block shots, rebound and catch lobs, you'll probably see a more active attempt to find a big that can. |
