2024 NBA Season

[mirakal]

I was researching how much his salary because I was curious why we talk a lot about Tacko fall here.
I read this . https://heavy.com/sports/2019/07/tacko-fall-contract-salary-how-much/, and that article says he does not have a complete contract yet like NBA players normally have where they have fix amount of contract in a certain term, I think Tacko has to work hard here and showed his best so he will get a long term contract with the Boston.

I don't know what others think but I'm interested with Tacko because of his size and what he can bring to the Celtics team. He was not drafted and I also want to see what the Celtics management can do to take advantage of the young man's potential.

We will be able to see the real action when the NBA regular season will commence, which is-

Oct. 22 -- Start of the 2019-20 NBA Regular Season (NBA Tip-Off 2019)

Time to start the betting also, if Tacko can get good minutes, that means he is effective to be in the celtics team and we could see a low scoring game for their opponent, maybe more under games with this man in the Celtics.

Tacko Fall surely has a potential and what is lacking in him is his agility and body build-up in which the Celtics management will focus on building for him. Of course if want to stay in the NBA, he should improve himself and be more althletic to be able to be a more fitting NBA star.

It's not impossible, being in the NBA is the ultimate success for every athlete in this sport, so once they get in, they will continue to improve to stay and to get a good amount of contract in the long run.

Tacko Fall is still young, he is still in the early stage of his career as an athlete, he has the gift of height but he needs to be a complete player if wants to have a good market, so I believe every athlete would continue improving themselves to become greats in the NBA.

Doc Rivers to Kawhi.
From Boston Globe.
What do you guys think of this?

Gold old days..

Thanks for sharing. Reading that article, I've seen that there's similarities in terms of being quite and just showing what they've got when playing inside the court. KG is a very good example of being simply just the best. No need for many talks, but showing his presence, like with Kawhi, he's playing with all his heart and shows all the dedications putting his teammates to be dedicated as well. That's how influence will helps the entire team.

Yeah no need for more description or what.

Just watch the old videos and highlights of KG and you'll determine that there's a similarity with him and Kawhi but they are entirely different. Love to see Kawhi to be in their courtyard and who knows if he might do the same with Raptors for his new team.

On the flip side I've seen a lot of NBA players get paid and then get lazy.  They become millionaires and can buy everything they ever wanted to start to lose the drive for the game.  Many players don't even care about winning anyways, they are there for 1 reason:  money.

Rivers should be happy with Kawhi playing with his team as that gives him a chance to say being a coach longer if the current roster will do better compared to last season and if the best players in the team like PG, Williams, and our man Kawhi will have a great chemistry.

Probably Rivers already miss to be in the championship game, and if the LA Clippers will be in the Finals this season, it's gonna be his best chance to be a champion again. I hope he learns how to manage the time of Kawhi well like what Nick Nurse effective did.

He is already a hall of famer. This will just be another addition to his trophy case if ever and also his good record.

I dont believe it is just Nick Nurse or a large portion of it. Something tells me the team really did made their best to win that championship.

Yeah no need for more description or what.

A combination of Kawhi and KD for me will be like Garnett.
Long span with height. Hard to reach when those arms are stretch out to shoot the ball. Difficult to defend inside and out. Even with the thin composition of his body he could monster inside the paint.

[jostorres]

Boston doesn't require Tacko as much as Tacko needs them, they already have Haynes and Enes at center positions as far as I know (was Haynes resigned?) which means Tacko is a third string center and that position rarely gets any minutes, even if Haynes is not resigned as a second option he would probably go after some power forwards because Celtics would be playing more small ball.

So, all in all Tacko will not even get minutes he needs to prove himself, just to give an example Mitchell Robinson played amazing last year in Knicks, dude had 2.4 blocks per game on only 20 minutes per game and he still didn't get the minutes he needs, now they have more bigs and I doubt he will.

Same will happen to Tacko, best case he gets 15-20 minutes per game but that is not enough to make someone stay in the league if they are not amazing, that is just to see how they do and if they fail to deliver right away its quite possible he will be cut from the team.

I googled for fast NBA center position players and this name appeared, Hakeem Olajuwon. Mabe also like him? I watched his highlights on Youtube, he plays like a forward in the offense.

I like how he play basketball. Yes, I believe he is a fast player based on some highlights in youtube. But since this topic has been brought up, probably the best center I can remember playing really great on his prime is Wilt Chamberlain. He's also fast though.

He got some of that Dream Shake but not the quickness of Hakeem. I like how fast he runs up and down the court, it's great for both offense and defense. If he can develop some mid-range jumpers or hooks in a year or two, there's a big chance that the Celtics will be lifting that trophy again.

If that is the case then perhaps Boston is going to make him as a sort of experiment and see how much he can provide and of course he needs to show his potential in skills before the team can sign a full contract. Very tall and quick every team's dream.

But we will have to see if he can match the hype. At 7'7 and still growing, we might see something special here and he could be the dominance of the center position back in the league again.

But KD is in injury at these times and is on the phase of recovery.

Gone are the days where those great players such as Garnett are taking the spot light and highlights would be exciting to watch. Do you think that there's still a chance that KD might go with Kawhi?

I got a feeling that they only signed Tacko Fall as a back up player just in case the line up have some injuries on the center position, I really don't see him have any minutes at all especially at his current state. Chances are he won't be proving himself in an NBA game but he will have that chance when Boston inevitably send him to the G-league where the scouts would monitor him if he has the capacity to be in their main line-up. Nobody took the risk on drafting him so scouts early on saw that he isn't as talented to be playing right from that start for any of their team.

After all, Fall was signed via Exhibit 10 contract by the Celtics, therefore it was even expected at first that this tall guy might not be included in the Boston Celtics' final lineup. His summer league game stats will now be evaluated.

But honestly, even for let's say he will get the last roster spot for the Celtics, there's another opportunity for him to showcase his skills and that is thru NBA pre-season games (if ever he made to get a spot). From there, even Celtics will limit his minutes on the floor once Season commences, other teams might now show interest in this guy after seeing him in good action at pre-season games despite after some evaluations did by them prior NBA draft pick that it's risky to pick this guy.

Fall should really work hard to make a buzz to the point that he should be a monster for every given playing time.

G-League will always be there for those youngsters that fall short when it comes to showcasing their skills.
There they could try to be better and somehow be back on NBA roster again.
This just shows how difficult it is to be an NBA player. Even with your good height they could still ignore you. This is already one good example.

Also, this are the reasons into why they keep on drafting players every year. Somehow, their discipline and filtering the new players is still the best in the world.

Believe it or not most of these fringe players dont make it purely on their team defense ability.  They arent being taken on for their offensive ability, tall doesnt always equal smart basketball player.  Saw him play and wasnt overly impressed with him.

Theres always a chance for them to team up. The real question is, can KD play the way he did before the injury? I mean that was a major injury right there, most of the player who had a major injury are struggling for recovery and might end up in an early retirement.

That's not good, KD already had Irving and if he comes back playing his old self, they had a chance to win championships.
KD leave Warriors because he don't want to play with a superteam, he wanted to prove again in another team and Him and Irving are like Lebron and Irving in the Cleveland days and I think Durant is even better.

Durant is way better than Lebron? I highly oppose to this insight! We cant still conclude yet if KD would playing on his old self or before his injury or would completely a different performance after such incident.We can judge and answer this questions on mind basing on how he play on upcoming seasons.

[harizen]

Even with your good height they could still ignore you. This is already one good example.

Good thing for Tacko that even he was totally being ignored at the draft pick, he still got a chance via special draft - meaning a team still give him chance and maybe slightly look that there's a potential even by low percentage.

Believe it or not most of these fringe players dont make it purely on their team defense ability.  They arent being taken on for their offensive ability, tall doesnt always equal smart basketball player.  Saw him play and wasnt overly impressed with him.

Got the point. For that, we just have to wait for what will happen to this guy - will end up of G-League or NBA.

As for me, I like him to end up for G-League and spend at least a few years.

That is if KD is the same KD we used to know during his GSW days. I think after his rehab in his injury, KD will never be the same as he was. Like most players suffered the same injury as he acquired now, their skills drops drastically and it would be what KD will be. Though he will still be a superstar but not like what he is at his peak.
