Celtics/NBA 2021-2022 Regular Season Part 1: Trader Brad

[Maine Fan]

This issues of getting under the tax through trades. One thing that is screwing these trades up is a bonus for Jaylen Brown. He gets $1.5 M if he makes the all stars. Currently the Celtics are over around $2.3. So without that bonus they would only need to drop $800K and that's easy. Brown could be selected for the All Stars after the end of the trading period. This is a problem for the Celtics.

This is pretty significant.

Some talk about the Bucks being interested in both Schroder and Grant Williams. Bucks offered Donte DiVicienzo for Williams; Celtics rightfully turned them down.

One man's trash, Williams and Schroeder for DD done and done if it were me.

 

[CDJ]

Kings are dumb. Pacers just got their PG to build around.

Sabonis/Holiday/Lamb for Halliburton/Hield/Thompson


Although from a roster construction perspective it kinda makes sense for Sac I guess

 

[Gator Mike]

Color me a bit skeptical on this... for a number of reasons.

 

[CDJ]

Yeah that’s Morey being Morey with the media, i doubt they want him

go get Windler and a couple 2nds and I’m happy

 

[quietbruinfan]

Sixers do need a true pg, so it fits. It is all the better for the Celtics, but they are so cheap I doubt they take back a player.

You have the most dishonest username in this forum's history.

Fair Enough, but I intend to quiet down considerably. I already sang my say about Coyle, Debrusk, and Sweeneeeely.

Celtics in Brooklyn out to an early lead of...

*cleans glasses*

22-2.

Wow, quite the 1st 7 minutes

 

[Gator Mike]

Steve Nash trying to figure out how to rage quit.

 

[Mione134]

I gotta give credit where credit is due here. Ume has done a really great job here. Marcus Smart too. J&J. Everyone stepping up.

And fwiw I don't trade Marcus.

According to something called lakersdaily.com the offer is Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn and a future 1st round pick. If there are weak protections on that pick Boston has to jump on that deal.

Report: Lakers have offered Talen Horton-Tucker and future pick for Josh Richardson

The Fakers are going to suck badly in a few years......even worse then they do now. Let's not forget that LA has already traded their unprotected 2022 1st round pick to Memphis ( via New Orleans as part of the AD trade ), New Orleans has the option of swapping 2023 1st round picks with LA ( also part of the AD trade ) plus New Orleans has the option of getting LA's unprotected 1st round pick in 2024 or 2025 ( also part of the AD trade ). Boston would likely have to wait a few years to cash the pick in but by then the pick could be gold.

 

[Gator Mike]

Simmons for Harden getting close?

 

[BostonBob]

From a CBS article about NBA trade rumours:

Let's touch on the point guard Westbrook replaced in Los Angeles quickly. Keith Smith reports that the Celtics want a rotation player back in a Dennis Schroder deal, not just financial savings. Boston is $2.8 million above the luxury tax line. This is why a rumored swap involving Donte DiVincenzo makes sense, if Milwaukee is interested. He would save Boston around $1.2 million, but would still be playable for them this season. Expect Boston to prioritize getting under the tax line when it's all said and done, though.

 

[CDJ]

They’re beating the shit out of teams they should beat the shit out of, which is more than what you could say earlier this year


Defense has been on point lately. The 8 man rotation Celtics are a good team….Don’t extend beyond that tho lol

tomorrow will be interesting

 

[Gator Mike]

I'm not a huge fan of DiVicenzo, but I'd be... OK with this deal.

 

[Gator Mike]

Well, it's a good thing he kept his true intentions private, then.

 

[Gator Mike]

Aww... I kinda wanted to see Bol Bol in a Celtics uniform.

 

[The National]

Trader Brad making moves!

 

[pgm16]

Expected moves, but hope something interesting happens !
