The Murray, Vassell, J Rich, Keldon, Poodle lineup will be nice as ! Our bench is stacked with hopefully a similar rotation ( Primo, Lonnie, Romeo, McDermott , Collins. If and a big if, Romeo comes to play, we can be really good moving forward!
We need to be excited about the possibilities he offers! If the drive.motivation and now urgency is there, we might have a steal. The kid competes and is a smart player………his defense alone will get him in the rotation.

Hopefully we can complete the roster by bringing back Drew Eubanks!!!!
Also you forgot about Landale and KBD. I see future all-star talent in both.
If you haven’t noticed, I normally get the last laughTik toc……
Probably won't happen, but . . .
Starters: Johnson, Vassell, Poeltl, Richardson, Murray
Second unit: McDermott, Collins, Jones, Primo, Langford
Going from McDermott to Richardson, what the starters would lose in (movement) shooting, they'd potentially make up for defensively, particularly in terms of switch ability.
The bench would also get a definitive rotational player to man the backup four, while making it easier to manage McDermott's minutes.

This is easy work/entertainment. Just be man enough to admit when you are wrong, I’ll do the same.����
There is no clear argument just hope springs eternal.
The Drew and kbd reply was cute….. I’ll stick with Romeo on this one due to pedigree & potential
This dude could be a hidden gem. He is a big guard who was projected to be a scorer but has focused on his defense 1st in the NBA. There was no room for him to have an offensive game in Boston. Celtics don't really play team ball they just wanted him to play defense and he started doing that well. The Spurs on the other hand are very team oriented, this could be a great place for him to round out his game and bring his defense and offense together.
Of all the incoming players he is the one I am most interested in. Lowest salary and youngest. Plays defense and was supposed to be a scorer coming into the league. Somebody commented about him playing in the G-League but I don't think he will because he has been in the league a while now, not even sure you send a guy like him down. He may end up being need as salary ballast in a trade but I would imagine Josh Richardson while he plays, will be sent out eventually. The media guessing game is already going on with Dragic. Sato I think gets cut as well. Langford fits in age wise with this bunch. I am still a fan of having a vet in the locker room for a developing young team though and expect they will sign such a guy this offseason.
Romeo Langford, listed as SG, 6’4” and 216. Age 22, this is his 3rd season.
Played in 44 games for the Celtics this season, started 5. Avg minutes, 16.5.
Shooting:
3pt, 29 of 83 for .349
2pt, 50 of 101 for .495
Season high in scoring, 16 pts in 23 min in a win over the Suns.
Season high in 3pt shooting, he’s hit 2/5 twice. Not a high volume gunner.
Rebounding, he got 9 once, when he started and played 30 min, in a win over the Cavs (Allen and Mobley did not play.) Typically gets 2 or 3 rebounds, it appears. Not in DJ’s class for rebs, but he has some ability for it.
Assists, basically zilch, 0.4/ game, only 19 total all season. Could easily be related to the Celtics’ style of play. Should be capable of more, but don’t expect a playmaker like White.
Most interesting game, has to be the Dec. 27 game against the T-Wolves when he started - in place of Tatum! - and played 36 minutes. It was one of the covid games, a bunch of guys out for both teams. Even so, if having a 6’4” SG start at PF in place of Tatum sounds like an uh-oh, you’re right, it was. He went 2/9 from the field, scored only 6, and his +/- was a dismal -32. However, what makes it worth mentioning, is that he had 4 steals, 3 blocks, and 0 turnovers. He was excellent at what he was able to do in that awful situation.
Turnovers, his worst was the first game of the season, when he had 3 in 23 min. He hasn’t had more than 2 since. Typically, he has 0, with some games where he has 1.
He’s well worth a serious look, I would say.
A little further on Romeo as long as we’re here.
Born and raised in Indiana, played 1 yr of college at Indiana.
Drafted first round #14 by the Celtics.
Played 7 games in the G league his rookie year.
Contract, 5.6M next season.
I hope we just choke people out on defense!
I believe he's from a town very close to Louisville, Kentucky, and was selecting between IU and UK. Previously, there were rumors he'd go to Vanderbilt to join Darius Garland.
Definitely want to see if he can develop, but Josh Richardson feels like a Spur and may get more minutes.
He’s a smart kid, Pop loves smart players that are mentally tough.
I say we just swarm people!
My two things on Langford:
1. He's struggled offensively, but has turned into a good defender, indicating a desire to stick in the league and work hard.
2. I'm not sure whether Udoka would have been consulted on trades, but there's a possibility Langford's character was checked.
There isn't much room for him on the squad since we don't appear to be tanking. He probably gets heavy playing time in the g league to develop those skills and might get some burn on the main squad if the team tail spins. His playtime with the Spurs starts next year imo.
Interesting
I saw that he's a 6'6 not 6'4 with a 6'11 wingspan. But maybe it's the difference betwee, his height with and without shoes.

i just can't come up with the minutes for romeo unless lonnie is on the way out or primo gets sent back to austin. but i think a decision on lonnie hasn't been made and primo is in SA to stay. of course, there's always a chance that romeo plays some time in austin as well but i don't know how that would really help him. it will be interesting to see how this goes.
You cannot send a player to the gleague involuntarily after their second season. He won’t go.
Unless it’s actually combine measurements, don’t go by draft sites.
