While it’s unfortunate the Cs are done so early in the postseason, being able to look at offseason moves is always exciting.Today, I am going to give some draft takes for the Celtics and try to address the major issues with the roster. The Celtics, in my opinion, need another traditional center option. Although, if the Giannis trade rumors are true, a stretch big could really benefit from Antetokounmpo’s created space. Look at Brook Lopez and Myles Turner who were brought into Milwaukee because of this. After that, a combo guard could go far. I am just going to look…

Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics have multiple tools at their disposal as they look to upgrade their roster this upcoming offseason. The big one is the $27.7 million traded player exception (TPE) they gained from trading Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls for Nikola Vucevic back in February. Another is the $15M non-taxpayer mid-level exception (MLE), which can be used to acquire a player via free agency or trade if the salary fits within the exception. The non-taxpayer MLE allows NBA teams that are over the salary cap — but below the first luxury tax apron — to sign…
The Red Sox and Phillies have had similar starts to the season: they’re two big ballclubs with big aspirations who both immediately fell on their faces, prompting two managerial firings. And while the Phillies have done a better job righting the ship under their new skipper than the Sox have, they’ll both share some history tonight, as it’s the first time in 22 years that two teams with new managers will face off this early in the season. (Thomas Harrigan, MLB.com)That’s not exactly the type of history teams generally want to make, so here’s some more, slightly better history. When…

It’s May, and the Boston Red Sox have a Trevor Story problem. Sound familiar? Story’s early-season struggles were a hot topic last year, when he hit just .138 (20-for-145) with 49 strikeouts over a 38-game span from April 22 to June 6. The brutal slump sparked debate over whether Boston should designate Story for assignment despite owing him more than $50 million. But the Red Sox stayed patient with the veteran, and he rewarded them by becoming one of the league’s most productive shortstops from June 7 onward. Story posted an .827 OPS over the final four months of the…
For all the consternation about Caleb Durbin’s bat, at least his glove appears to working just fine. “Not hitting stinks when you feel like you’re a good hitter and you feel like you should be helping the team and producing on that side of the ball, but I know I can impact the game outside of just hitting home runs,” Durbin said. “The defense, I take a lot of pride in that. I’ve seen how important that is throughout the course of the season, so for me, that’s the standard.” (Tim Healey, Boston Globe)Unfortunately, the man playing immediately to Durbin’s…
