Social Media Reacts To Roster News
Here’s what people were saying:
@CoffeeKyng: “They embarrassed LeBron and Embiid so these dudes are stamped for life.”
@migwobben: “Don’t love leaving Uzan unprotected in the event another team offers him a two way. Assume that would be more lucrative than the ~90k? bonus he would get for playing in Maine”
@tamarackhack207: “I’m sure Hayden Gray is staying in the gleague and trying to make a team but he would go crazy in Europe”
@CourtOfThought: “What? These guys just went to WAR with the sixers and won.”
@NOSTRAYZ: “Any chance Celtics can bring Bruce Brown home to Boston now that he’s been waived by the Knicks ?”
@jose3030: “Uzan fan club here.”
@CelticsDale: “Maine Celtics will be a wagon.”
@jakeissenberg: “NOT UZAN. (I know we have no two ways left)”
