Both are young helps franchise re-set but its gonna come down to what Boston wants to do. The ball is in their court because they have the #1 overall pick.

The irrational side of me says, "Boston will pull the trigger on JB, and since IND is evaluating the market for George, MAYBE there's a chance", when rationally, I think to myself that they won't trade their star player for a guy who got into a fight with a folding chair and broke his arm, and Victor Oladipo. But hey, anything can happen right? I mean, NO got Boogie for literally nothing.

If the Indiana does deal PG13 I would assume everyone else is up for sale. We know Presti likes CJ Miles. Thad Young is a nice stretch 4. Both Al Jefferson and Monta Ellis need it to be 2010 to be worth what they are getting paid.

I would be willing to move Adams.

Our only chance to get a crazy deal like this is some GM being in love with Sabonis ( which is far from impossible) but yeah Kanter will screw it all.

Also think that it wasn't a good idea to extend Oladipo so fast (teams can be reluctant to trade for him right now)

True but they won't take both butler and George.

But, that's the domino that has to fall. I think the Celtics are mostly un willing to move their rotation players Smart, Crowder, and Brown. While I believe the Thunder are inclined to add Kanter and Roberson, but not give that first round pick.

If they can keep Adams, Oladipo, and Westbrook and add one of these guys that's where we want to be.

But, if we miss out on PG13. I think we should see what the price tag is on CJ Miles.

I don't think either move happens. To be quite honest, I don't think any significant move will happen. While Kanter's contract holds the best value for trade, no one is going to want him unless they think he can keep himself from breaking any more bones for stupid reasons. Could he be moved? Sure. Do we move him and Oladipo as a package? Why not. But if Presti is putting those two out as a package deal, by god he better be pulling some golden strings and getting something in return. If we reverse Boogie-trade ourselves for some low grade garbage, I'll be done. I'm not holding my breath for anything. At this point, I say NO TRADE, then next choice is garbage trade, final choice is Presti pulls his finger from his rectum and pulls the trigger on something to help propel us past that 5/6 seed.

I think Kanter has shown growth and he actually fits next to Turner. Roberson could really help them on Defense. We know they like Cam Payne because they would have taken him if Turner was not there. they would have to included an unprotected first as well.

Not only is there no chance in hell that a gm would trade us someone like that without moving these guys, we can't afford to do so without moving two of them.

The guy people would want out of core besides Russ, is Adams.

You guys are ridiculous. I have a better chance of taking Presti's job than we have of getting George or butler

Some of us have been living a life of denial and we would appreciate it if you didn't cause it to come crashing down a day early. Let us have hope until tomorrow when we have to face the truth.
