Niang Traded to Celtics

[isucy86]

Georges to Celts

Gotta like this trade for Georges

 

[shadow]

Didn't he grow up as a Celtics fan being a New England guy?

 

[DrClone]

Celtic fan so I like this a lot. Hopefully he gets to contribute in a big way.

Celtics in 5. Niang going back home feels poetic. Boston will love him.

 

[TitanClone]

He's a free agent after this year, putting up similar or better numbers than this year should set him up for at least 1 more solid 3 year contract.

Does it seem like the Celtics are unloading here, giving up Porzingis and Holiday?

Anyway, saving some cash for sure. Hope Georges can take advantage.

And I forgot that Niang was drafted by Indiana.

No reason to be in the second apron and pay a huge tax bill with Tatum out for the year. Ditched two big/bad salaries with Jrue and KP. They won’t be very good next year, but soft reset for them.

It was somewhat expected with Tatums injury. Let Brown run the show for a year, get a decent draft pick next year and move forward.

Always have been a Boston fan since the Havlicek-Cowens days. Boston pride deep down inside! Love it!

Nailed it. I forgot about Tatum. He's in the same boat as Tyrese.

They seem to hate him

Speaking of Tatum and Hali, I wonder if the same NY surgeon is getting all (most of) achilles tears/ruptures. Maybe he's one of the few that is doing this newer type procedure? I''m assuming Aaron Rodgers fits here too?

Goes back to his Sixers days. He'll grow on them.

Argh though. Doesn't seem promising.

Yeah, I’d forgotten about the leg grab.

 

[Dgilbertson]

Boston fans are like Philly fans. If you grit and grime you become one of them. This far it’s just his name sand memories of Philly days.

Georges has had himself a really solid NBA career.

 

[Acylum]

I’m guessing he never plays a game for them.

Cleveland and Atlanta didn’t love him until he played some.
