    I think you should keep olynck, you complaining over his rebounding when he's a stretch big

    He's valuable off the bench

    I know from game 7

    For the right price yeah but he's wildly inconsistent on offense he's too soft and passive and not worth it if he gets around $18 mil

    He's gonna get decent offers but I wouldn't pay over $12 mil for him

    Trick him into signing a 4 yr/36 mil contract

    The Celtics are focused on landing “an All-Star caliber talent” in the front court, multiples sources tell A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast Sportsnet. Blakely adds that Gordon Hayward remains a target, but he’s likely to re-sign with the Jazz this summer.

    Blake Griffin could be another target. The power forward is expected to re-sign with the Clippers, but he would be a good fit alongside Al Horford if Boston can convince him to sign with the team.

    Yeah he's not really the best source, Chris Mannix, and chris forsberg are more accurate when it comes to Celtics news

    I don't care for him as a Celtic insider either, id rather listen to what Abby Chin has to say, Mannix, Draper, and Scal that's a good team right there

    There's nothing this Cleveland team can do to beat the Warriors and it's a bad look for Bron to keep losing to the Warriors in the finals, there's all this talk of him heading west while I'll still consider it unlikely...the Lakers are in a prime position to put together a super team if Bron were to decide to go there, the 2nd pick and Russell could get them Paul, some package involving Ingram/Clarkson/Randle/Zubac could probably get them George, I won't speculate but the east could be going through us with Philly in the mix sooner than people think, and I'm looking forward to bringing back that old school rivalry between us and Philly

    Lakers aren't putting together a super team anytime soon lmao. Philly did make strides last year but they gotta stay healthy for me to crown them

    Probably not but if Cleveland doesn't do something major which is going to be hard to do I don't see him sticking around and being the guy to lose to GS 3 years in a row, Lakers more so now then next year are in a prime position put a super team around him, plus they're a better fit than the Clippers since it will pretty much be the Lebron show like it is in Cleveland now with Walton pretending he's coaching and Magic doing whatever Bron wants where as I can see Doc and Bron clashing and Doc doing everything in his power to ? it up

    While the Los Angeles Clippers will attempt to re-sign Blake Griffin, the Boston Celtics are considered a primary threat to sign him away.

    "Boston is really the danger for Blake Griffin," said Wojnarowski. "I think Boston's two primary free agent targets, right now, are Gordon Hayward and Blake Griffin. Now they're not going to get both of them, but they're both players that would potentially have interest there. I think Boston looks at in different ways with their future."

    Griffin also is said to have noticed the way Boston embraced Paul Pierce during his final visit.

    DO IT

    clippers will trade for melo & sign lebron next summer.

    Duke talented but mentally weak and injury prone if I'm the clippers I let him walk.They play just as good without him

    Blake's injury history worries the ? out of me but if Hayward doesn't sign with us I'm down with him

    Yea I hope Blake Griffin doesn't happen, there are positives but not worth locking him up long term imo, would be interesting to see him play next to Horford compared to Deandre Jordan though

    Sign Hayward then
    The Celtics could offer the Clippers the Nets 2018 first-round pick (unprotected, almost certain to be Top 5), Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder and Tyler Zeller.

    sign n trade for blake
    Boston would then be looking at this depth chart in 2017-2018:

    PG: I Thomas/T Rozier/D Jackson
    SG: Markelle Fultz/Marcus Smart
    SF: Gordon Hayward/J Brown
    PF: Blake Griffin/Olynyk/Guerschon Yabusele
    C: Al Horford/Ante Zizic

    Cavs food.Clippers get younger,some depth and most importantly mad cap space for 2018

    Win win for both teams.

    I rather see the c's vs warriors in the finals next year(better match up).Cavs can't compete with them.Hope these moves happen.It's realistic since blake has interest in boston too.
