Feel like Presti will be forced to sell low on Hill.

Muscala to me is the most likely to get traded because he's cheap and can help many teams. Probably a Muscala + Williams combo.

Will be happy if a team wants Diallo but it's pretty unlikely.

Hey Thunder fans, wondering if I could get a defensive scouting report on Kenrich Williams. Catches my eyes as a guy Denver could use in the playoffs.

What is Kevin knox's absolute upside? Like maybe a poor man's Michael Beasley if you're lucky?
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Capable all around player. Jack of all trades kind of guy. Nickname is Kenny Hustle which accurately describes his game.

What better deal does Ainge have than taking Horford with his TPE? Is he really just willing to sit with what he has? Throw in a top 20 protected first for 3 years that turns into a second after.

It really feels like okc should be able to get rid of all of Horford, Hill, and Muscala. They all add value to a playoff squad.

Really happy about this. Good for OKC and I like Diallo so I'm happy for him since I guess Detroit will pay him.

Kinda surprised. He turned a corner this year, I thought. And he’s still real young.

I wish we could have actually gotten a real player for him. Otherwise I'm okay with trading Diallo. He was restricted and I don't think he's good enough to actually pay.

It was basically get a 2nd or let Diallo walk...so it's a good trade.

Hope it works out for diallo but he wasn’t my preferred type of player.

Including Hami, how many do we think get moved by the deadline?

Muscala and Hill seem likely. Williams maybe. Horford is the wildcard.

Would say at least two of Muscala, Williams, Hill (hope all of them).

So 3-4 players.

Probably a buy out for Ariza.

Would be really surprised if Horford gets traded.

A couple of months ago I thought Hill was 100% gone but I'm not sure at all anymore (depends if Presti is willing to take a bad offer so we don't win more games).

Muscala is the most likely to get trade in my opinion.

Wondering if might change course and realize that moving Horford even for a loss is better than holding on to him.

I forget Ariza is on the team.

I mean, Al is playing about as well as he ever has. Really does look like philly was just a bad fit. Don’t see why someone wouldn’t be willing to give up a highly protected first if they are already a playoff team. He’s made for Boston. He’s not going to put them over the edge, but he puts them in the mix to make the ECF rather than a first round out.

Feel like it's a bit too late for this. Trading Horford in 2 weeks won't have a big impact in our draft odds...

Contenders don't have FRPs though :(

Horford isn't worth a late FRP but yeah if we get two bad contracts in return, we could get a FRP.

LMA on the trade market and cheap as **** is not good for us to get something decent for Horford.
