Why against Detroit Pistons did the Celtics not Bring AMARI WILLIAMS on the trip???????

He has 50 games you know & a national TV game against Detroit trumps the Maine team?

AMARI WILLIAMS WOULD HELP HERE

Sam Hauser + Boucher to PDX for Robert Williams...
no picks either way

Celtics get roster balance, and financial flexibility
Portland gets reliable shooting on a contract that works within Blazers cap structure

who says no?

I don't like Jaren Jackson Jr for the C's
Despite the scheme fit, he's just not that impactful and it's impossible to build out a roster with Jays + DW + JJJ making $190M

People just love the idea of JJJ... but the reality is a 39.6% career FG big who averages 7 boards a game at $50 MILLION per

The Pritchard-White-Scheierman-Hauser-Queta starting lineup tonight, looked like a late 50s NBA team that had a tall black center, lol

Celtics could use some speed, athleticism, passing

If Ja Morant wasn't so risky, and the budget wasn't so tight, a Ja trade be intriguing

Celts may send out a big package for Zubac to take over starting role from Neemi Queta...

Going by games, Queta is not on a dissimilar trajectory as Zu but isn't there yet... and may never get there... but we've got Neemi already here and signed for next yr, so he wont cost no haul to trade for..
January 10, 2026 at 11:48 AM
Neemi Queta has been great this year and I'm a big fan of his game... but ... after a great start, he just has been in a pretty deep slump

He's not seemed as impactful, and this is showing up in the plus-minus and on-offs over the last 10-15 games

Concerning.

Lost in Jaylen's great night is another Payton Pritchard 8 assists game. PP team best +27 tonight and Celtics move to undefeated (7-0) on the season when Payton logs 8 or more assists. Great win tonight!

If Celts are fine to cut costs but not all the way under the tax line, here is an idea that saves $4M... and lands Celtics John Collins, Brad Beal, Dayron Sharpe and future draft considerations... while paying draft considerations to BRK to absorb Bogie's money

I'm a big Neemi Queta fan, but he's undeniably been in a slump last few games, dont know if he's not 100% but his impact his net rating for the last five has gone negative

Neemi gotta get back on track

Can we get an NBA trade?
Feels like we're due for an NBA trade?

or maybe we're gonna have to wait until 2026 for a trade.
I'd like a trade for Christmas, if we can make that happen?

Over the last five drafts, Celtics have rostered only 3 draftees, a really low number, bc C's traded their firsts in almost every draft...

Celts now getting big contributions of Walsh, Sheierman & Gonzalez, all still on rookie scale low salaries this yr and next... leaves money to get a CENTER!
December 7, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Love what I'm seeing from Jordan Walsh
Also, how bout slow it down a touch... we have to re-sign you a new extension pretty soon and we want a bargain
lol !!!!!!!!
December 5, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Jordan Walsh 4/4 on 2PTA and 0/0 on 3PTA attempts vs NYK

This yr 38.5% of Jordan's attempts are 3's. Last yr 66.3% of Walsh's attempts were 3's

Celts reworking Walsh shot profile, him driving and finishing at the basket rather than stationary 3PTA from the corner has made him more effective. !!!!

Jaylen Brown ELEVEN ASSISTS (t-career high) last night was awesome to see.

Jaylen's been ballin this year. The only two complaints, 1. turnovers, and 2. JB not cutting, receiving the pass and finish at the rim as much... but this is result of JB creating above the 3pt line

AWESOME start for JB

Celtics play the East leading Pistons on Thanksgiving Eve and rookie Amari Williams will be in uniform

I really hope we get to see some Amari minutes tonight, I think he's a really interesting center prospect and I'm BULLISH on AMARI WILLIAMS! lol

Lets Go Celtics!

More from my Celts-LAC trade idea

Celts receive 2031 LAC 1st and trade that pick plus MIL 2026 2nd to Philly and receive best of 2029 LAC 1st/Philly 1st

(Clips pick 4-30, PHL unprotected) ...

Celts receiving LAC/PHL 2029 1st gives Celts a first every year 2026-2032

Celtics - Clippers trade idea

Boston gets:
Batum, Bogdan, Jones Jr, Kobe Brown, Brad Beal
Clippers 1st in 2031, Clippers 2nd in 2032

LA gets:
Anfernee Simons, Hauser, Minott

Celts use Clips 2nd to reroute Kobe Brown to 3rd team
November 20, 2025 at 11:04 PM
I've noticed lots of Celtics fans lately discussing Celts should trade for Ivica Zubac of the Clippers.

Well, sure Zu is good.

But Clippers don't have their 1st in '26 draft, not in 27, nor 28, and nor '29 ... Zu is 28, why would they give him away, he's VERY valuable to the Clips

I dont get it
