1. BANG

2. Throwing something on the grille for this

3. Celtics frontcourt somehow got worse

4. I cannot wait to see this frontcourt

5. Please cut him and sign with the sixers

6. Someone tell me how to feel

7. I’m being dead serious when I say the Celtics will win under 20 games

8. It’s gonna be a layup line in Boston

9. I like the symmetry of a guy name RJ JR.

10. The end of the Niang Celtics Era.

11. I don’t remember Luis playing a single minute in Summer League and his competition in Utah was… uhhh…. 😬

    Is Niang on a bad contract or something? No clue how we got anything for Luis otherwise

12. THE MINIVAN IS BACK

13. With every Celtic move, my odds of becoming the first NBA starting center who hasn’t played organized ball in over 20 years gets better and better.

14. Niang and Kyle Anderson on the same team might be too much athleticism for the rest of the league to handle.

15. Georges Niang Boston Celtics Best Highlights [4k UHD]

16. Damn isnt Niang from Boston? Im sure he was happy thinking he would stay for a min.

17. got rid of like 8m Niang contract for two 2ndrounders

    purely financial move

    Niang will never wear Celtics shirt lmao

18. They’ve got to have the worst frontcourt in the league now, right?

19. if my frontcourt next season is luka garza and queta im gonna end it all

20. Oh happy day

21. They traded my beloved rookie for a minivan

22. St. John’s betrayal

23. We’re so ass

    TANK TANK TANK

24. Hang the banner already

25. As a random Georges Niang hater I love this news

26. THE MINIVAN HAS RETURNED

27. Kind of a shame, Niang runs a charity in Boston

28. Ainge finally did it

29. Now they went from a Minivan to a Durango

30. Drop the confetti

31. No buyouts for Niang or Kevin Love yet. Hmm.

32. Gotta suck for Niang to be hated by your hometown lmao

33. Good. We haven’t forgotten the Philly series. All my homies hate Georges Niang.

34. Ace Bailey punching air

35. The minivan has left TD Garden

36. The Minivan is back baby!!! He can pick up and drop off all the young’ns from practice.

37. Imagine getting traded for an undrafted rookie, and it gets worse where the team trading you away has to attach two second round picks to get rid of you.

    If he never grabbed Jaylen’s knee I would’ve been okay with Niang on the team, but with that clip no chance

38. Jazz teammate chemistry just went up +10.

39. LOL poor guy…he was just on a Podcast saying how happy he was to play for his hometown.

    Niang is a tough cookie but he gets passed around like a blunt…

40. Celtics clear cap space Boucher so this makes sense.

    Ainge gets more picks lol.

41. Four teams in 6 months. Now I’m wondering who holds the record for most teams in a calendar year

42. One of the single trades of the offseason

43. Seems like quite a haul for an undrafted rookie? Did I miss something in Summer League?
