It Celts They are in the middle of their most impressive stretch of the season, winning six in a row and 14 of their last 15 road games. With the positioning of the Boston playoff in focus and a Sale of crucial franchises into Bill chisholm Still in process, we examine some intriguing questions in this week’s mail bag.
Hi b robb,
All MVP Tatum conversations and comparisons with other players thought: If you had to choose a current player to be each of your starters, who would it be? 5 Giannis? – A great defense and painting attack, but the lack of shot makes it a lost bet. 5 of Jokic? A terrible defense as a group, is not able to go up and down quickly enough on the court. 5 SGA? – Better, but too small to protect the grains and the rebound would become a huge problem. 5 Tatums? Looks perfect. It is able to coincide with the speed with the smaller players, the protection of the adults, the rebound, the skill of the 3, the score in the painting. Not to mention the durability.
I’m not sure this means that MVP should be, but he is the most complete NBA player (unless you can call someone who better improves 5).
One of the questions for the real world: My understanding is that the Celts lost the rights of birds to Kornet when he signed the minimum of a year he is today. Can you offer -a 3 -year agreement with an annual increase of 40%, so would you end up with something about $ 4.5 million a year? Is it likely to accept such agreement?

This is a fascinating question about the MVP candidates. If you are looking for the most versatile group, I think the Tatums would have it at your point. They can protect or protect, handle the ball, fire, bounce and be size to handle most situations. These other boys have their strengths, but they give me five tátums on the floor for five grains or five guards.
As for Kornet, the good news for you is that Kornet did not lose the rights of the birds when he signed a year again. It will now have also been on the team for three years once this season is completed, opening the door for the team to have rights over the full birds. This is important for a team that will have second apron restrictions, as they will be able to offer -anything they want to retain. The big question is that you can fit into a budget that already agrees to exceed $ 500 million next year in taxes and payroll. Needless to say, some adjustments will need to be made to adapt to Kornet again in the fold, especially because it should have a good free agent market this year. I bet that Celtics can get it with a discount, but it has obtained far beyond the minimum of a veteran at the moment.
He sought a while as the Celtics should face the hawks or the magic in the first round. Now, the 7/8 race seed is narrowing with the heat and bulls that seem possible candidates. Who ends in these places? Celtics fans should be rooted in someone? – Jamie
This race is suddenly fascinating suddenly, especially with the appearance of the bulls who have suddenly won eight of ten games, making them one of the hottest teams in the league. The Bulls are only 1.5 Orlando games for the number 8 seed and the Heat are two games, while both teams close with soft programs against many tank teams. He throws a couple of heads from head to head between Orlando and Atlanta and we could see very easily Chicago or Miami who sneak in the number 8 seed. The Celtics should not worry about who ended in any of these places, as none of these series should exceed five games, regardless of the opponent.
When can we wait for all this new owner drama to be resolved? Things go as the scenarios are expected? – Lluc m
This is still a process that will be dragged on for a couple of months here, as the League reviews the structure of the agreement, ensures the other minority owners involved before voting on probable approval in June. The fact that Bill Chisholm is still looking for more investors is not surprising (a lot goes for franchise purposes, even at this stage), but getting people buy at a record purchase price is an interesting proposal.
Once the financing has been established and the NBA approved a large participation in Sixth Street (still TBA about it), and the care is immediately directed to the low season and the decisions of payroll/prosecutors. Prior to that, the attention in the present will be higher than ever, as this group will probably never have a group as deep and talented as this for a long time with the bill that is due to this magnificent composition.
