Celtics/NBA Celtics trade Grant Williams for draft picks as part of three-team deal

[Maine Fan]

How about this for a trade, I like it. Of course, I want Brodgon out for many valued reasons.

Grade the Trade: Boston Celtics proposal swaps Malcolm Brogdon for $74M wing

MassLive's Brian Robb proposed a scenario where the Boston Celtics trade Malcolm Brogdon to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for a $74 million wing.

I am a Brogdon fan, but much less so after seeing him for a year. He cannot defend anymore. I don't think Pop takes him for that reason. Too bad as I think Keldon is a fit.

The problem with that deal is barring another move it leaves us pretty lean in the Guard position:

SG - Jaylon Brown and JD Davison
PG - Payton Pritchard and Derrick White

 

[Maine Fan]

I have been wondering why I haven't read anything from Brown about the Smart trade. More dislike

Could Jaylen Brown’s silence indicate rift between him and ex-Boston Celtics star?

Jaylen Brown has not said a word about Marcus Smart being traded by the Boston Celtics -- but what is the reasoning for the silence from Brown?

I thought the same but Brodgon is presently injured. Healing but could require surgery. Then Brodgon is injury prone, a known when he was acquired but as a bench guy it was not a concern. As a starter that could be a problem. His contract is up after this year. What us his attitude after knowing he was the first choice to be traded. I would do this trade. I don't want to chance Brodgon.

Fascinating development

I think the Celtics could make a trade work financially without giving up Tatum, Brown or Porzingis, they would just need a third team to jump in. It would be the kind of all in rental they should be looking for and the type of player they still need. Not like the Clippers have a lot to trade either.

You mean Harden ?

....Wut?

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Yeah i'm talking about trading for Harden. I'm just thinking out loud but i'm sure they have enough salary to send out that they could run Tatum, Brown, Harden and Porzingis for one season. Clippers are who they are saying want Harden but unless they are willing to trade Paul George the Celtics can give a better offer if Philly are willing to trade him to Boston.

The Celtics can throw in a lot of late first round picks, the Clippers can't

Other than than what do the Celtics have to offer? To make it work salary wise you have to do Brogdan + Timelord I think

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Brogdon, Pritchard and Kornet would be enough but you could add a team like Utah so Philly gets more back.


Harden to Boston

Brogdon, Horton-Tucker, Rudy Gay, Kornet and Warriors 2024 First Round Pick to Philly

Pritchard and picks to Utah


How many contenders could give Philly a similar return for 1 year of Harden?

 

[Shaun]

i absolutely would not trade for harden in the year 2023

 

[EverettMike]

i absolutely would not trade for harden in the year 2023

I would also not trade for him in the year 2021.

To me having Harden on the Celtics is just like having OEL on the Bruins - even if it didn't cost anything as far as assets going out and even if he offered to play for free I would not want Harden on the Celtics or OEL on the Bruins.

It a declining PG with a significant injury, and a pile of crap. Rudy Gay isn't even on Utah anymore, he was traded for John Collins.

that said, maybe the Celtics pile of crap is bigger than any other pile of crap.

Either way, I wouldn't want Harden on my team if there was no cap

 

[Troublesome 85]

Just imagine who takes the last shot at the game. Leave Harden alone Tatum and Brown are now the leaders for better or worse and should step up

 

[KrejciMVP]

Ill take Harden sure. can break out at any time. He'll be a #4 option that can be a #1 or #2 any night if tatum or brown go into their shells

 

[N o o d l e s]

Who would want James Harden?

 

[JRull86]

James Harden is a f***ing loser, under no circumstances would I want him on the Boston Celtics.

 

[CDJ]

Yeah pass on harden, doubt Philly would send him here anyway

 

[quietbruinfan]

I see on Youtube that Yam Madar is coming for training camp, but not summer league, I assume. He looks like he has matured physically and looks darn good on video. He also has moved to Partisan Belgrade, which is fairly high level competition. I think they have a pg sleeper here, and I generally do not like anybody. lol

 

[DangleCity]

I cant think of any player I would want less then Harden, outside of Kyrie Irving

Yup, and honestly I think a team with Kyrie on it can win a championship (they did). I don't think a team with Harden on it can will a championship at this point, he is just too limited of a player
