Seems to be the case for EVERY player we come into contact with who isn't an established star. If we ever want to be an organization that, you know, develops an actual player we need to give the process a chance.This is the kind of player though where you need to get him playing time to maximize his chances of thriving. I think that might be difficult for our team to do.

I wish we could have him to replace Mo too, but Mo is under contract for another year and wants to stay I'm sure. So we would have to trade Mo.Everybody has been talking about Felder being insurance for Delly's potentially big price tag, and maybe that's the case, but I sure wouldn't mind him replacing Mo as the offensive dynamo to Delly's defensive wonder in our backup rotation. Mo's body broke down so much this year and I don't think the injuries were anything that could be fixed with an offseason surgery. Winning the ring this year should smooth over any hard feelings as well.

I would keep Mo as he could be a mentor to the young guards. Kaun yeah he has no real reason to be here.He only makes 2.1 million, so you can probably dump him somewhat easily as teams look to get to the cap. You could always just waive him as well.
Either way, it would be nice to have a backup that isn't hurt for half of the year, and now that our guys have learned how to win a title I'm not sure I see the need for so many vets on our bench. Get Mo and Sasha out of here and bring in some hungry youth to develop with those roster spots.
I mean Isiah is currently the best scorer on the Celtics right now as a 5’9” player, and Felder’s game has the potential to be more well rounded and dynamic than Thomas’s.
2 championships and 3 finals appearances in a ten year span is something just about every franchise would sign up for.Spurs are amazing and a model of winning consistency but they also have won just 1 title in the past 9 seasons and haven't made it out of the second round 5 of the last 8 years.
I compared their measurements. Kay had a slightly larger wingspan, but Thomas had a couple inches on him at standing reach. Kay was like a .50 inches shorter in bare feet but had 4 inches on Thomas in vertical leap.Bigger than IT...more athletic too...
Height doesn't matter...length, athleticism, skill, and smarts do. This kid is good, he can play...one of the only guys I saw in this draft play, and I had to watch him multiple times cause he was so fun to watch...Summer League games are must watches for me now...
