For Boston, they get another prime asset in the LAL or Sac pick while still getting a stud this year. I wouldn't trade for Butler at this point if I were them. They're not THAT good to think he's the missing piece.

Butler AND Griffin or Hayward is a considerable leap for a team that just topped the conference if they could land it. Not sure how much cap maneuvering they would have to do tho

I'm still not a firm believer in Austrailian Rondo or Embiid's ability to consistently 70+ Regular season games and hypothetically 12+ Playoff games with his injury history but Markelle is something. Hopefully they can make the Playoffs sometime in the near future to make fruition of all the Hinkie praise for doing nothing

If C's get Josh Jackson or Jimmy Butler/Blake Griffin than they're not much worse off but they're playing with fire. IT must have hit Ainge with the "...But Sempai, why?" at least once since

there is a lot of noise that Tatum is their guy

This is a great move for Philly. They have a good core minus a SG and will make noise very soon. Boston i feel has no direction in the sense of either going all in to compete or do a full rebuild. Unless Boston is going to package things up to get a real elite game changer they would have been better off rebuilding

Looks like a lot of cap being invested into B level stars. Not a name on that list makes my heart leap. Griffin is the best of the bunch, but he's averaging like 45 games a season over the past three years. Not feeling the need to forfeit good prospects for Hayward and Butler. Does that hold off the Cavs?

If they stay in draft mode, and JJ falls to them, and they get another prime pick in the next couple years, then at least they've got low priced top talent. Would wait for Paul George in FA myself. He's not top tier, but he feels like more of a game changer to me.

B-lister's or not, those guys are really good and Celtic's would be stacked. Those prospects might never field a team as good as that and the Celtic's might never get an opportunity to put together a team that good again in the near future. I understand the risks but sometimes you gotta take risks and I wouldn't blame them if they did

They had a good enough core to field a team that competed for the conference 1 seed and could possibly add TWO top 20 players, I think you're understating how much of an upgrade that means
