He was ranked sub 50 in defensive +/- last season and defensive rating.

Pairing him and Kyrie in the BG like @DoleINGout suggest a post or so ago would be disastrous There are a number of other point guards I like more than Irving based on contract value and durability, but I put Irving in at last because of the cap rules. I think since Irving is on currently on the team he is more affordable in the grand scheme somehow than a D'Angelo Russell or Kemba Walker. Doesn't a re-signing situation open up some other cap eligibility rules or stipulations for re-signing other free agents? I'm very confused by the NBA cap rules, but that is essentially why I listed Irving instead of a better value free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pairing him and Kyrie in the BG like @DoleINGout suggest a post or so ago would be disastrous I would agree, but everyone raves about Klay Thompsons defensive ability and he had an even lower DRPM than Beal. A lot of it is about teammates, system and self motivation. Kyrie played some good defense his first year here because Brad got him to buy in, I feel he'd have a similar impact on Beal. Regardless, Beal is one of the best guards in the league. Good scorer, shooter, passer, rebounder. He's a really good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Celtics gonna trade up for the #4 pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown + #14 + Memphis 1st would probably be the cost. How about instead you trade #14 (or #20 and #22) for Conley then re-sign Horford to a 2+1 deal? That way your books clear in 2 years when Tatum's extension kicks in. Keeps the team as a contender, they don't have to overpay Rozier for longer (who I don't like as a long-term fit next to Brown and Tatum anyways), and don't kill their assets for Beal.
