AxnJxn Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 One minor note on BS - if he truly doesn’t like recruiting, then that’s even more reason to not return to today’s college game. With the transfer portal and today’s rules making it easier to transfer, you almost have to recruit your own players each year as well as new ones.

But at this point, he’s so respected, his recruiting would consist of one phone call to each kid. Who is going to say no?!?!!? Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’m not buying anything on Stevens. He couldn’t have been more clear. He’s not on my radar at all. I think he likes the NBA and is probably wired that way. If he has a change of heart or something, fine, but I’m not acting like it’s a possibility. At the same time, I don’t buy the hype from the northeast media that a pro basketball coach would never go to college. That’s false on its face. The northeast is pro sports country and they are myopic about I-95 logic as Wilbon aptly says all the time. Qualifier: I’m not saying this in relation to Stevens as I have moved on. Just reacting to the condescension by the Northeast media including guys like Woj where they figuratively pat big ten basketball on the head. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Celtics just acquired Evan Fournier (avg 19ppg) for 2 2nd round picks, so definitely not selling at the deadline. They're still in the mix for Aaron Gordon as well. This probably doesn't get them in contention with Brooklyn, but definitely a good move to improve the roster and add veteran depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fournier trade also seems to signify that the Celts don't seem to think Romeo will help them much this year. If I understand the situation correctly, Fournier is a FA after the season, so it may not be a long term blocker to Romeo seeing the floor, but sure doesn't help in that regard this season.

I don’t think this move specifically had anything to do with Langford. But yes, I would agree they aren't counting on anything from Langford this year. The guy hasn't played at all this season. He just can't stay healthy. It's been three years of this. He should be back soon, but he's missed a massive opportunity this season. I mean, they've been starting Semi Ojeleye at times this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I read they really like him and so do his teammates, but I believe the Celtics will need to pick up his option this summer? I'm not 100% sure on that. I bet they will, but not a lot of film or data to make a decision on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
