if this is the last time we see Jayson Tatum on a basketball court for a while, people will realize we took him for granted 💔
JD Davison has agreed to a deal with the Rockets, per @ChrisBHaynes Best of luck in Houston, JD! ☘️
Ben Simmons is reportedly expected to sign with the Celtics, per @TheHoopsAlerts Say what you want about his jump shot, but the Celtics can take risks this season, and his defensive upside is worth sacrificing some offensive spacing for (Graphic via @BenjayCreates)
Who remembers when Jimmy Butler threw up this boneheaded shot with a trip to the NBA Finals on the line?
What’s the dumbest play you’ve ever seen in sports history?
Damian Lillard went back to Portland Chris Paul went back to L.A. Why not?
The Lakers are the favorites to land Robert Williams III, per @BovadaOfficial Los Angeles Lakers +185 Golden State Warriors +255 Milwaukee Bucks +375 Boston Celtics +475 Houston Rockets +600 New York Knicks +750 Toronto Raptors +800
CJ McCollum complaining about the CBA he SIGNED OFF ON is insane 🤦♂️ Screwed the entire league and the Celtics over with the new CBA and now he’s acting like he had nothing to do with it
Watching Jayson Tatum get injured is easily the worst day I’ve ever experienced as a Celtics fan 💔 Tatum was on a heater that night
What’s an NBA ‘what if’ that keeps you up at night?
The Celtics are now the favorites to sign Ben Simmons, per @BovadaOfficial Boston’s odds to sign him are listed at +185, with the Phoenix Suns not far behind at +255 (Graphic via @BenjayCreates)
The Celtics have waived JD Davison, per @AdamHimmelsbach Would have liked to see get more minutes this season, but hopefully he gets a chance to do that with another team

If Jayson Tatum did this, he would be absolutely crucified on NBA twitter Keep that same energy

If I have to build a franchise for the next five years around Tyrese Haliburton or LaMelo Ball, give me Derrick White instead
You get to build your franchise around ONE for the next 5 years. Who are you rolling with?
The Celtics are unlikely to sign Ben Simmons as they would effectively be committing to 15 players to start the year, per @RealBobManning The only realistic way Simmons would be signed is if Boston further downsizes payroll in September or at the trade deadline
True or false: Trading for Domantas Sabonis is worth it for the Celtics. (Graphic via @BenjayCreates)
Georges Niang on knowing how Celtics fans feel about him after the Kristaps Porzingis trade: “They don’t give a s*** if I’m from Boston. ‘You just took our Unicorn and replaced it with a Mini Van’…I’m like public enemy number 1.” At least he knows 😭
Derrick White was one of the top players in the NBA last season in non-rim paint FG%, per @NBA_University White shot a blistering 56.4% on floaters, push shots, and short jumpers in the paint PUT SOME RESPECT ON DERRICK WHITE’S NAME 🔥
Highest Paint Non-Rim FG% (float/push/short jumper) What stands out?
Regardless of whether Anfernee Simons gets traded or not, Boston reportedly like him as a player and believe he could emerge as a “key contributor” once Tatum is healthy
The Celtics have talked with multiple teams over the last few weeks about potential trades for Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang, per @BrettSiegelNBA Boston is very likely to make a move before the trade deadline, but may not make one before training camp
