Official Boston Celtics thread

[its....JOHN B]

Something might happen this deadline but I don't think anything major, although when IT happened nobody saw that one coming, I think this offseason is when all the major noise will happen, IT's contract will be restructured and I think that means Avery will have to go, his value will be so high and I just don't think they are going to give him and IT 25+ million a year contracts, im still thinking Philly considering they have shown interest in Bradley already in the past and he would be a genius fit for them, but that's assuming they don't move Noel this deadline, I would move him to Philly for Noel that Lakers pick and Covington, draft the kid out Washington who could be a star right out the gate and have him start off the bench and eventually take Smart's spot in the starting lineup, bring Zizic over to fill up the front court, so many options but this season in reality is about winning one playoff series, that would be a success anything more would be a bonus, better to hold off till the offseason unless a slam dunk deal makes itself presentable

They could make that trade for Noel, sign Hayward and send a package involving the Brooklyn pick to Chicago for Jimmy who is on such a team friendly deal until 2019 considering what he brings

Noel

Horford

Butler

Hayward

IT

I think Avery might be the odd man out too

 

[BlackAX410]

Smart needs his minutes cut, over the past 5 games he's shot below 30% from the field. His defense has regressed too idk his market value around the league but after a few promising games he looks abysmal on offense again. Stevens gives everyone a short leash except for him his horrible finishing around the rim along with Ill advised 3's are getting frustrating

 

[its....JOHN B]

Horford been disappointing me lately, we're too thin in the front court right now but I would give him some extra time off around the all star break, kind of like what Bron did a few seasons back when he came in to the season lean then took some time off got on the ped's and came back strong, Horford looking a little slow and flabby I especially noticed it against the Knicks, let him get some rest and training in for the stretch run, as he gets older Stevens is going to have to manage his minutes more

On the bright side Toronto is 0-4 since activating Sullinger

this is the guy garpax is asking for a 1st and a young player back for

trade discussions between danny and garpax probably be wild as hell

i think what danny is really waiting for is for bird to do what mchale did for him or wait for lebron to fall off some

 

[ckfree]

I'd rather Paul George personally

considering your fantasy draft history this year

On the low I think that's a realistic scenario, I said before if Bird don't think he's staying he'll trade him, all signs point to him leaving in the offseason, I'm not a fan of the complete overhaul around him and the way Bird is trying to change the whole culture, doubt George is completely on board

PG gets shitted on by pacer fans too

but with the new cba the money difference may be too wide to leave current team though

I just realized his player option is in 18-19 anyway, ah well

I'd rather Taj Gibson then anyone else on the bulls CK

 

[BlackAX410]

So we just recently worked out Larry sanders, if he's in shape and motivated I'd take a flyer on him could be low risk high reward

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

@"its....JOHN B" would you give up that '17 pick for jimmy butler? bradley,smart nets '17 and either the grizz '19 or nets '18 pick?

I'd rather Taj Gibson then anyone else on the bulls CK

I'd take smart for taj straight up.You willing to do that?

If they made another major win now move first I probably would, not that particular deal but one involving the 17 pick and some other assortment not involving Avery, I don't think they should mortgage the whole future for him if it means just basically replacing him with Avery then making another small time move for Vucevic or something like that, and I think Avery's value is sky high right now and I think he can be used in a separate deal to hopefully address the front court, or if someone more impactful becomes available then they can go hed and package him with the picks but I actually think we're going to have to trade for Hayward or he's staying in Utah, he'll be walking away from too much and Utah is competing now

Just seeing this now lol
