Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 season!

The Celtics have 14 guaranteed deals going into the season, and a training camp roster of… 21 guys! That means there are 7 guys vying for that final spot. Just trust me guys, thats the math. We all know the most likely option, but I thought it’d be fun to talk about all the guys on the roster. We’ll likely see a handful of these guys in Maine this year.

Here is the current roster:

PG: Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard

SG: Derrick White, Jaden Springer, Baylor Scheierman

SF: Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jordan Walsh

PF: Jayson Tatum, Xavier Tillman

C: Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta

The following non guaranteed guys will be listed in the order of potentially claiming that 15th spot.

7 - Ron Harper Jr. 24, 6’5’’, F

Undrafted out of Rutgers, Harper actually spent the last 2 seasons in Toronto. He’s a bit undersized but sturdy. In summer league Harper suffered from inactivity. He didn’t really get involved on either end and while he didn’t make a bunch of mistakes he was almost invisible. Summer league is always a shit show stat wise so I won’t hold shooting percentages against him. Maybe we’ll see him in Maine.

6 - Tristan Enaruna, 23, 6’9’’ F

Enaruna is an undrafted free agent who the Celtics had join their summer league team. I actually liked what I saw from him in the Summer League, but he may have played fewer minutes than anyone on the team. Defensively the dude is long as hell and big, and showed good effort. Offensively he was pretty uninvolved. If all 3 of the 2-Way contracts weren't being used, I think he’d be a good candidate. We currently have 2-Way deals in use and a pretty obvious 3rd guy getting the last one. Tristan could be sticking with the team to get experience and then head to Maine.

5 - Dmytro Skapintsev, 26, 7’1’’, C

Ngl Dmytro came out of left fucking field for me. Like left field is all the way in Ukraine. His last pit stop was 2 seasons with the Winchester Knicks averaging 10.2ppg and 7rpg across those 2 seasons. Dmytro is not a 3 point shooter and is an average shot blocker for someone who is 7’1’’. I imagine this is Brad trying to get a guy into Maine as emergency depth. Luke Kornet is almost 30, and you never know how long a 7’2’’ guy is going to last. Brad might just like the archetype and wants insurance? Again, this one kinda baffles me, but its not like they lost anything bringing him in.

4 - Drew Peterson, 24, 6’8’’, G/F

When the Celtics brought in Drew Peterson my racist ass saw a white guy an assumed, “Ok backup shooter”. While Peterson is a passable 3 point shooter, that's never been his bread and butter. Peterson was a Point-Forward in college who shoots just enough to keep defenders honest while he probes defenses. At the NBA level he gets swallowed up pretty quick on his drives, and can’t pass like he did at the college level. I think Brad wants to see him more as a 3 point shooter, who can create something off of hard close outs. He didn’t do a great job of it in Summer League. Honestly I think the organization like him a little more than he is worth. I wouldn’t have spent a 2-Way on him for a 2nd season. There is a tiny chance the Celtics convert his 2-Way to a standard deal, but I don’t think he beats anyone ahead of him on the list.

3 - J.D. Davison, 23 (TODAY!), 6’1’’, PG

Happy birthday JD! J.D. Davison had a decent summer league, but unfortunately his talents aren’t what the team needs right now. Right now the Celtics have 7 guys in their rotation who probably get touches ahead of J.D., and he’s just not an off ball player. His summer league shooting was awesome, but the last 2 G-League seasons having him shooting well below average from 3. He also doesn’t show the defensive intensity required to be that small. I think he could be a solid PG on a young team developing other guys. Maybe a team like San Antonio or Washington. I don’t see Davison cracking a championship roster. The next few years are going to include some tough decisions around guys like Porzingis and Holiday, and Davison could be an affordable depth option. Right now though, it’s another year in the G-League.

2 - Anton Watson, 23, 6’8’’, F

Watson is the only guy on this list I feel realistically challenges for that 15th spot. He plays a bit bigger than his 6’8’’ frame, often guarding C’s in summer league. He was the leading scorer in at least 1 summer league game while barely touching the ball. He was a low volume 3 point shooter in college, but he was decent in summer league. Defensively I’d say he can guard 2-5 unless it’s a quick 2 or a huge 5. He takes over the Brissett role decently and is an easy fit not needing the ball in his hands. Watson gets the last 2-way spot and spends the season in Maine. He’s another guy on the short list when this roster has to make their big money decisions.

1 - Lonnie Walker, 25, 6’5’’, SG

Walker is the pretty obvious 15th man and even more likely the 10th man, leapfrogging Walsh, Springer, Queta, Scheierman, and possibly Kornet or Tillman in the rotation. Walker is a 6 year vet who has played real NBA minutes in those seasons. He also has 2 postseasons under his belt. Walker will need to up his defensive intensity if he wants to be an every day guy. Offensively his 3 point shooting is above average on moderate volume. There aren’t a lot of shots to go around, so just hitting a 3 a game and bringing defensive intensity wins this for him. Walker can also do a little off the dribble scoring when the situation calls for it, but will need to curb that a bit in this rotation. Between the experience and the fit offensively, this feels like a no brainer.

Secret Option 0 - Sign nobody, walk into the year with an open roster spot

While Lonnie Walker seems like an easy answer, Lonnie is on an Exhibit - 10 deal, meaning he could accept going to Maine for a bit. He’s even talked about that being an option in an interview. I think that’s a silly idea, and imagine some NBA team would like Walker. He was great for Brooklyn last year and seems like a very positive behind the scenes guy.

That being said, lets say Brad takes Lonnie up on his offer to sit in Maine. There is a bit of flexibility having a roster spot available warrants us.

Other teams will be making their final cuts in the next few weeks leading into opening night. The could be a guy Brad has long coveted that he’s like to have a roster spot free for. Brad stays ready with this shit, and was able to grab Jrue Holiday when the price became right. He also played the long game and got Luke Kornet back in Green. Brad has also made moves like bringing Daniel Thies back and getting Malcolm Brogdon, all guys Brad had been wanting for a while.

There is also the added flexibility of having a 2 for 1 trade, that being said, I don’t see that happening. I don’t think thats likely but the flexibility could be valuable.

Keeping a roster spot open for the buyout market is no longer a thing (and I'm kind of glad). Over the cap teams are effectively neutered and unable to pick up guys forcing their way off teams heading into the home stretch. Honestly I think this is a good move. It always just benefitted teams like Miami or LA anyway.

TL;DR

Welcome to Boston Lonnie Walker IV

i was really impressed with these two playoff victories. We beat the defending champs in 2020 and in 2022. In all honestly, i was more impressed with our victory against the bucks, because they had the same exact team as 2021(besides middleton of course). With the raptors, they were not the same as that 2019 team with kawhi and prime danny green. If those two had stayed with the raptors, i think our 2020 team would have lost against them. I love how both of these series were really tough, grind it out games.

Life long Celtics fan not from the east coast. I'm confused why the Celtics rent the TD Garden from the Bruins? Since 2008 the team has been good to great, even with a couple down years after the Pierce/KG trade. Seems like ownership missed the boat on a ton of revenue by not owning their own building. Extra revenue would be helpful given the current salary cap situation.

Wife and I cut the cord a few years ago, but last year I signed up for YTTV to watch the C’s. It’s pricey. Looking for recommendations on best option to watch their games this winter without paying almost 80/month. Anyone find any good options?

Antenna is not an option for us unfortunately. Have tried 2 and can’t get them to give me consistent service. I must be too far from the towers.

Ideas appreciated. Go C’s!

As an outsider I just want to know what people’s thoughts and opinions were at the time of the Kyrie Irving trade. Set aside everything that’s happened, take yourself back to 2017, Isaiah Thomas traded for Kyrie Irving has just happened, how are you feeling? Is this a great move? Did you think that Kyrie could push you over the edge to a chip? Were you sad to see IT go? Just want to hear people’s perspectives, are you all in the same mind frame at the time or was this a controversial move among fans.
