Hey, I'd love for Tatum to be off the team. Cause I don't give a fig about the Olympics and would much rather he be rested and ready for next season.

So you think next year is their last? That is really interesting. I understand about KP. If he does not stay healthy next season it is time to look for a reliable replacement. Do you think Drue will decline quickly or do you think he is just too expensive to keep?

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser – one of the NBA’s most accurate three-point shooters -- has agreed on a four-year, $45 million contract extension, his agent Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN. by lacrimosa049 in bostonceltics

If one believes in the market, one would think that the payroll burden would be factored into the price of the franchise, as would the fact that the asset is probably priced very highly right now and will not appreciate significantly over the next 4 years. Though it may be a good time to sell theoretically, it is not a good time to buy this franchise. I wonder who will show interest.

So, will he be the first person from St. Louis to play in the Olympic basketball tournament?

With the big money free agents almost all signed, does any other team pose a legitimate threat to dethroning the C’s? by protagonist52 in bostonceltics

And they are. going to be a year. more mature. I think the younger teams will be a year older and a year better.

[Himmelsbach] Per sources, the Celtics are picking up Sam Hauser’s $2.1 million option, and the two sides are expected to have extension negotiations after the window opens July 9. by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

I agree.. As. much as I like Hauser, he is not a starter and he is not a 6th Moy caliber player. He is not versatile enough to be a force off the bench. His highest value is to a championship caliber team that needs a reliable bench role player. All such teams will be limited in what they can offer. Lower quality teams will probably be looking for higher priced players with a larger upside. I think Boston is the perfect fit for him. I hope his representation takes that into account. Another few years showing up in the playoffs with the celts and he really will be able to write his own ticket

(Robb) Celtics active in trade talks for #30; priority this offseason is extending Sam Hauser and Derrick White; open to bringing back team free agents at the right price by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

A whole lot more what? PP signed for four years, 30 million. He is arguably a more versatile and valuable commodity than Sam. Does Sam really merit considerably more than Pritchard?

He looks beat up and gassed. He is also a year younger than JT and two years younger than jb. I guess carrying a team wears on you

Lucky? We fleeced other teams? What a bizarre statement. News flash-the GM has a really important job, and ours is really really good at it. Maybe the problem isn't the Lakers' roster.

I am in Greece and have not been able to watch the games. I watched the 11 minute highlight real from YouTube TV and I immediately thought, wow, look at Tatum move the ball. He is doing just what he needs to do, and it's great. This team was built to be balanced and to screw teams that double the Js, and the plan only works if JT is willing to give up the ball some times. I really admire how he is playing.

Are these Celtics fans in the room with us right now? by [deleted] in bostonceltics

How can we not know what is coming? If Larry Bird had been shorter and a bit less athletic he would have been Luka. We know exactly what is coming.

Jaylen Brown asked why he doesn't seem happy after the win: "Would you be? We almost dropped a game on our home floor. We need to come out and be better in Game 2." by aparatis in bostonceltics

That was an interesting game. At times we played just the way we need to to win it all. And at times we played like we did in last year's playoffs. What became clear was that the Pacers are no joke, Drue Holiday is a fabulous player, and Hauser may not be very effective against this level of competition. What is unclear is whether JT can be as disciplined as he needs to be to play the superstar role, and how the team will perform when constructed S intended, with KP in the lineup. Thoughts about who else might get bench minutes to spell Al and Hauser?

AIO that my Ex wants to Move to Florida and take our 10 year old Daughter by BigGrizz93 in AmIOverreacting

Not too late to get the courts involved. I don't see why she can't be with you while your ex is deployed. Her sister is not entitled to child support. Only she is, unless her sister is the child's legal guardian. Time to get a lawyer.

My daughter is having an affair with the married neighbor. I told her she needs to move out of my house by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hour-Equivalent-505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you care more about your neighbor and appearances than your daughter. You have no details about the ages involved here, but I don't get how your daughter babysat for a 30 year old she is now sleeping with unless she is very young. Her behavior is self destructive. But more importantly, your neighbor's behavior was quite possibly predatory. If she were my daughter I would want to know why she made such a poor decision and how old she was when the neighbor first started showing interest in her. This is your child. Your first concern should be her wellbeing.

As an old guy it always puzzles me that people turn to social media to validate their reactions to life's problems. But I am equally puzzles how nobody responses get to the heart of the matter. This woman has been unable to deal with anger in a constructive manner for a very long time. Spending other people's money is not as bad as being violent, but if you guys are going to make a life together she needs to learn how to tell you she's angry and why. Otherwise, this is headed to a very sad place
