this is an interesting roster, lot of vets but feel its very eh. Whats the plan here going forward? I have to agree that the roster is in an interesting spot, and we are looking forward to the challenge of getting the team to a winning place. I’m likely to start off by seeing what the roster has to offer and evaluate some players before making any drastic moves, but the likely scenario is to try and acquire young talent to try and mold the team into a winner in a few years. |

What happened to your Mitchell Robinson trade you said you were working when I inquired about him? Obviously who knows what happened to that offer, as the GM was managing multiple rosters, but please feel free to send any new offers over and I’ll review accordingly! |

Is Caleb Wilson salvageable? Not going to lie to you guys here, at a first glance at the roster I liked his profile, but those numbers he’s putting up are definitely sub par. I’ll be doing some scouting and see if he is someone we can get mold into a viable NBA player who shoots better than 25% from the floor and 50% from the FT line lol just gotta double up those numbers!! |

How much better could the celtics have been if a proper gm was running the team? I sincerely hope that the answer is “better”, but I admittedly have been out of the game for a while so I’m ready to step in and figure out my growing pains to get us back to contention. |

Can Sarunas Jasikevicius come in and be an all star once he comes from overseas? Having not scouted Sarunas yet, it’s hard to know for certain, but given his age, potential, and overall skill set, we are very hopeful he turns into someone we can build the team of the future around! We will likely need to hand out pamphlets in the stadium with cues on how to pronounce his name, but that’s an easy solve. |

Glad to have you back!! Excuse me sir, we are in the middle of a press conference, it’s very rude to shout at me while I’m on the podium. Can we get security to check this guys badge and credentials? (Missed you too buddy) |

If you could choose any sim league GM from a past league to take over the Celtics, who would it be? It would be me. The last time I was in this league, many eons ago, I took the Celtics to back to back titles on the literal backs of Bob Cousy and Oscar Schmidt. Just need them to get added to draft classes again so I can recapture lightning in a bottle… Alternate answer is my compadre, ZHeld, who reminds me most of Danny Ainge with his frequent massive league altering trades. |

Mattfaria hasn't been on in about a month - do you think he comes back at some point or is he gone forever? Oh he GONE |

I was a huge fan of yours when you ran your previous league, anything that you would do differently here if you were the commish? I will.. just pretend this is about me for a second and say thank you! Always good to meet a fan And my PC answer is that I would lay on a live grenade for A.Silver and trust his ways as the commish. |

Will you try to make a run at the playoffs, will you be a buyer or seller at the trade deadline? Looking at the roster, this feels more like a selling situation. The brightest path on the timeline seems to be waiting for my draft and stash euro star and trying to build a timeline around him by collecting youth and picks. But I want to take my time to evaluate and scout some talent on the roster and see what we have before making any quick decisions |

What kind of contract do you think Buzelis has earned to re-sign this offseason? I definitely need to do some evaluation on this young man, but he is showing some promise of being a long term starter on this team. I admittedly need to acclimate to the new salary cap climate here, as I’ve heard the rules have changed, but I can confidently say he will be paid more than the MLE, but less than a super max lol |

What was your strategy in the offseason for an interim team? Did you do anything differently than you'd do for your own team? For the sake of it, given how time consuming it is to run one team, I’m sure the only thing he was doing differently was probably just giving a little less TLC to this roster vs his own, but I can tell from quickly browsing the forum, he’s been quite active and making moves effectively for both, but overhauling the roster as an interim is a big ask |
