The Boston Celtics say their offseason is not done as they make a series of moves that lands them.

Chris Boucher, we're going to talk a little bit about that.

Plus, we're going to talk about Trey Young and his comments and thoughts on the Hawks not offering him a max contract extension yet.

Is that coming?

We'll talk about all that and more on today's Locked on NBA.

Thank you for tuning in to Locked on NBA NBA, where it's every team, every day.

I'm Hayes.

I'm joined by the one and only Matt Moore.

What's going on, Mr. Moore?

How much, man, hanging out.

Excited to have some news to talk about instead of trying to conjure up content here in the dog days of August.

But schedule or release is right around the corner. I'm always excited about that. Excited to get into it with you today. Absolutely. Schedule release is always exciting because once that happens, that means that training camp is right around the corner. We're getting closer and closer football is going on this weekend. We got basketball about six weeks away before we get actual basketball games excited about that um but with that said

man let's go ahead and jump into it the celtics first off started off yesterday trade in georgie

nang um and they sent him away and then they signed chris boucher to a deal which i think these two

moves are pretty solid moves when it comes down to it um nang was sent to the Utah Jazz and it was a salary dumping trade so they can create

the space to get to get Chris Boucher in there.

How do you feel about this move?

I feel good about it because George Nying is one of those guys that I have nothing against

the man, but every single team that he's on, I just noticed that it's like it's not good for them to have Nying around. He's, I think that he's a guy that has a skill set that makes it seem like he should play, but actually shouldn't. And a lot of the plus minus kind of backs that up. The calves weren't good with them. The Hawks weren't good with them. I was concerned about the Celtics having to try to play him. Now they have an actual center. Like you can start Chris Boucher at center. And that's probably, I think, a better option than starting Luca Garza, starting Kada. I think that I still continue to wonder what happened to Xavier Tillman,

who just vanished after being a key contributor in the 2024 finals.
