Starting a new thread so the old one doesn't collapse under its own weight.

Anything not thread-worthy goes here.

Complete the trade:

Hawks get Cam Johnson and Dayron Sharp
Nuggets get Bogdan Bogdanovich and Larry Nance Jr
Team 3 gets Michael Porter Jr
Nets get assets from Hawks and Team 3.

I don't think Denver does their part as is. Then I think you find it hard to find a team with expiring contracts to appease Brooklyn who doesn't want to take on future money and give up assets for Michael Porter Jr.
But luckily Atlanta can build an offer for Cam around Capela's contract and then look to move Bogdan for a center.

You're just trying to get the 2 Bogdanovic's on the same team - right? :D .
Thought Nets didn't want long term salary back? Bogi has 2 years left, final year is a team option.

Which centers are available for Bogi?

Good question. Always impossible to know, and might take a 3rd team I guess. But there figure to be several centers with roughly the same value available -- JV, Robert Williams, Nurkic, spend a bit more and get Vuc, Poeltl

I don’t even want to know how many firsts Brooklyn asks for in a Nance, Capela, Bogdan for Cam and Claxton deal.

But the money is equal this year and both Nets are on good contracts and fit nicely in Atlanta long term. Third team getting Bogdan though..

And I think it’s around the 3 other team firsts and Kobe? But those firsts don’t project so great right now..

Not saying you did. But isn’t that a pretty ideal target?

More so than Cam imo.. the forwards are good enough without Cam..

"Heat culture" slogan seems to inspire more ridicule than anything. Kind of put themselves under the microscope with that one.

The local Boston media is talking about Jaylen Brown (and/or others) possibly being traded because the anticipated luxury tax hit is impacting the sale price of the Celtics.

If the current owners have to decide between maximizing sale price and maximizing championship equity, I don't think they'll have a hard think over it. (they will obviously maximize sale price, so start your Jaylen Brown trade offers!!! Where does he land?? OKC!?)

Maybe Jaylen Brown to OKC
contracts and draft compensation to a 3rd team with capspace like the Pistons, etc.
and very nice draft compensation to Celtics
