11pts with less than 3 to go in the 2nd. I don't believe he started this game. 4/5 shooting. Per sources he's in contract talks. Wonder If his agent tells him to wait after Summer League is over. Value appears to be going up every game.
Edwards lighting it up again
- Thread starter ImRonBurgandy?
- Start date
They just said on the broadcast that he is in contract talks with the Celtics.
3/3 from deep, 5/6 overall to the tune of 15 at the break.
Beat me to it. He's looking great and the defense really seems to be focused on him as they try to deny him the ball. Great to hear about contract talks.
But what about his defense? Lol
Some guys got it, some don't. CE has it coming out his ears.
they should have drafted carsen in the first round and skipped picking romeo.
Well they do need people for the practice squad. Romeo will fit in nicely in that role.
This is pretty good praise coming from Stevens and is a nice plug for the program.
Of course CE going off helps too.
I'm assuming Stevens had some phone conversations with Painter about CE prior to the draft.
Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed reading all the Boston fans saying to "sign him now" or "pay him the max." I also found this link this morning:

Weren't they friends at one point? I thought so but could be wrong but I would be surprised if your statement wasn't correct.
That aside, Carsen has looked fantastic so far.
A question: Why the rush to sign him now? Isn't he obligated to sign with Boston?
If he declined an offer from Boston, what would be his options?

He's still sitting out with a bad case of cantshootitis. Luckily, he can play with that condition in the G league.
Teams have until around the middle of this month to offer a rookie tender to their draft picks. If Boston does this and it meets the minimum set forth in the bargaining agreement, Carsen would have to sign it or he could head to Europe or some other league. If they do not offer this Tender by the deadline, Carsen becomes a free agent. Teams also get two roster spots for "Two Way Conrtracts" that allow players to bounce around between the main team and the G league. A two way contract offer does not bind the player to the team that drafted him until he signs it.
he'll have thumb trouble his whole career - it's debilitating when your pain threshold is -11
My understanding from watching the last game was that the Celtics already offered both of their 2-way contracts to Tremont Waters and Max Strus (from Depaul). That means they can only offer Carsen a contract with Celtics or let him become a free agent and release their rights to him as mentioned (not going to happen). Excited to see him continue excel, be humble and work hard. Couldn't ask for a better coach to play for than Stevens (who is good friends with Painter - as referenced from many of the articles on Shrewsberry).
Just STOP with this crap. I can't stand this incessant attack of a player on this forum.
Don't you know his hand hurts?
I am laughing out loud, if this is TIC I love it.
If you are serious, you are a real idiot.
Where do you stand on the above options? (tic, a bit)
HEY... Those two are NOT mutually exclusive. Two things can be true at the same time.
Just ask my wife...

Is this needed to make space for Carsen? Article mentions it can be possibly making space for Tacko. I've watched Tacko in person, just can't see him being As effective as Carsen (biased of course). People fall in love with his obscene height and shot altering, but I think the NBA game will be too fast for him. Tacko is Kind of a novelty, but I sense that Stevens really wants to hold on to Carsen.
no you didn't. She's been sitting right here next to me.
She KNOWS I'm an idiot. That's why she married me. And I also make her laugh. And that's not the only reaction I get, after >25 years of marriage....
From what I found, I believe the answer is yes. Also, ESPN got it wrong according to a Celtic's writer for the Boston Globe. He was reporting this morning that the roster move was not for Tacko. He suggested that it is Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters who will most likely benefit from further roster changes.
Side note, it irks me that ESPN said Tacko "has been the star of the summer league for the Celtics." One of the fan favorites?- Sure... but not the star.
Here's the link that I was referencing:

Can't teach size... haha... just thought id say it.
At the end of the day, he does have pretty good athleticism for somebody who is that massive, which normally isn't the case. Tacko is not a superstar by any means but the kid can play a little and would be an interesting flyer to take on a roster.
I also think on Carsen, he'll have an easier time than he is in the Summer League scoring on a night in and night out basis once the regular season rolls around. He's facing less athletic guys but guys who are hungrier and giving it their all to make a roster. Lots of high effort. I can't see an NBA regular getting jazzed up to guard Carsen for 20 minutes and staying in his shirt like the D he has seen the past 3 years.
The times Ive seen Taco play Ive always thought wow if that guy could jump, or run fast he would be unstoppbale. I really havent seen much athleticism about him, and maybe cause thats cause hes 7ft6 but still. Ive also never seen him shoot farther than 3 feet. Low usage rate for someone who should overpoweringly dominant in college
