Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

With Tacko Fall's agent pushing for a standard NBA contract for his client, Celtics boss, Danny Ainge, needs to be cautious in his dealings with the Green Giant lest he get away and become a dominant big man for a rival team. Celtics Training Camp is now underway, and Fall is already learning how to bump and grind with his fellow-bigs, Enes Kanter and Vincent Poirier. Looks like @EnesKanter and @tackofall99 had some fun during 1-on-1's at #Celtics practice today 👀😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/cBrS6OMzd4 — Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) October 1, 2019 Tacko is currently signed to an Exhibit 10 contract, and there are several possible avenues he can follow at the completion of Training Camp: Accept a $50,000.00 bonus and go with the G-League Maine Red Claws This is most-likely Danny Ainge's wish for the rookie. It would give Tacko a chance to show what he can do against lesser competition and give the raw rookie some experience without the threat of possible humi...

This is the type of story I love to write. According to MassLive's Tom Westerholm , second-year center, Rob Williams, indicated he got a text from Al Horford after Al's departure from the Celtics this summer. Horford's text broached positive things for Rob this coming season: Al Horford texted Robert Williams when he left the Celtics this summer, telling him he expects the second-year big man to blossom. The gesture meant a lot to Williams. "It was kind of like a respect thing. It made me feel good.” https://t.co/w7mi3kOVnb pic.twitter.com/d2LQ1loYrt — Tom Westerholm (@Tom_NBA) October 1, 2019 "Never mistake courtesy for weakness" and "Never mistake silence for apathy" are two of my treasured personal sayings, and the latter applies to Horford (actually, maybe both do). I remember vividly the times when Marcus Smart would blunder on the court - get taken out - and quietly listen to Al's counsel on the bench. Apparently, Al did the s...

During new-player intros, players, coaches and NBA execs usually say all the right things. A short while ago during the the introduction of Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter to Boston, Danny was asked if Tacko Fall had a future with the Celtics. Here is his answer, per NESN's Logan Mullen : “I think that Tacko is going to have a chance to make the roster, but we’ll see,” the president of basketball operations said. “He’s here working out right now, brought him in for a few days just to have a place to work out before he heads back to Senegal — I don’t think he’s been back there for a long time, six years or something, so there’s some visa work to work out as well. But we see some upside there, we’re excited about him.” My thinking is that Ainge may wait to fill that 15th roster slot. Fall's next move from his present Exhibit 10 deal may be to receive a cash bonus and head to the Maine Red Claws. That seems the safest route for Boston if that is agreeable to Tacko. Following that...
