If they can get up to #4 without giving up Frank, or an unprotected future first, I'm all in

i don't think so. even if we trade lee, let koq/kanter walk. someone needs to do the math.

Would have to stretch Noah and Parsons next year and find a team that wants THJ/LFT

can you stretch 2 players in 1 year ? not sure

Any word if there would be any vaseline in that deal because... good lord would that be an epic ravaging

just laughed out loud at my work desk reading this s***

Unless we buyout Noah and deal guys like LT, Lee and THJr

So pretty much no chance unless THJ has a career year, we move Lee, LFT, and stretch Noah

Wouldn’t Hardaway go in any deal forgot Parsons?

Is there really a chance it’s degenerative? That would change my intrigue. I love Bamba, but don’t like the FIT long term with KP. We saw how the finals played out. You think Boston would trade Tatum for KP?

Maybe

KP can do everything Tatum does for them offensively (just by way of Tatum will be the 3rd option behind Kyrie/Hayward, so they're not really losing anything there), and adds elite shot blocking, plus Horford is the perfect big to play next to him

I agree with the fit sentiment, too

And from what I've heard, it is degenerative, so that's one of the reasons I've been anti trading KP for him, cause KP is injury prone too, but players recover from ACLs all the time

tatum will be the 2nd or 1st option on the celtics team very soon. hayward is most likely taking a step back on that team cause of his injury.

im doin the trade cause KP is always injury prone and tatum got legit super star potential

Kyrie ain't giving up 1st option, that's why he left Cleveland

And we'll see with Hayward, I don't think he'd be a fan of taking another backseat after thinking he was gonna be the star in Boston when he signed

I don't see superstar in Tatum, but we'll see with that too

I would be ecstatic if we got bamba I think he's then best prospect on the draft

can only use the stretch provision once per CBA if I'm not mistaken

Garbagelo · Post #1511 » by **Garbagelo** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:26 pm

Bamba is easily the highest potential prospect in this draft.

KP of 2018

Naah, would most likely be Lee unless we include Frank

yeah, this got me excited for no reason. when this falls apart, i'm ready to hate this draft, hate this thread and hate you all. it's coming.

No, Lee and LFT could work salary wise

Kanter comes off the books. Still a chance but so many bloated contracts on the roster.

Juggynaut · Post #1517 » by **Juggynaut** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:28 pm

I only want that #4 pick if Luka is there. I like Frank but I am definitely trading Frank + 9 for Luka. I'm not so sure on a Bamba + KP duo.

Toranaga · Post #1518 » by **Toranaga** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:28 pm

Bamba would be a dream...my #1 player in the class.

I'm good though, unless Memphis is selling #4 & Parsons for pennies on the dollar. Just not where we're at right now. Future picks and/or Frank? Nah.

edit - per cba. forget it.
