Trade Thread #6: I Wood Walk 500 Myles

Expect lots of free agent signings at 6 o’clock. Shams and Woj drafts must be full by now. They have to keep quiet because the teams risk being investigated for tampering.

Are they? As a Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown would you take their advice to heart? I seriously doubt that.

Well you didn’t mention veterans who could give players advice. I’m looking for veterans who can produce, and those 2 if not anything else, can produce unlike some of the stuff we have been trotting out there. With them you have two guys who can hit 40% from 3. Actual options to pass to on a drive and kick.

I know people think we need this strong voice/presence in the locker room, and I can buy that to an extent, but our may issue last year was that we didn’t have guys who could break a zone. We don’t have guys with a spot up shooter mentality. That’s what we need in the end.

If we had even 1 additional guy who can reliably hit the 3 at a 40%+ clip on drive and kicks to the corner and on broken plays where you end up spotting up, we probably beat the Heat and are in the Finals.

His defense is borderline elite, though. Stick him in the corner and open up driving lanes, have him anchor a top 5 defense. Not bad.

What are the alternatives? Gordon walks to Atlanta? Drummond?

The only real downside is that we’d be recreating the pathetic FIBA team with Brown, Tatum, Smart, Kemba and Myles

Holy **** an Andrew sighting

ALL I have seen is 2 2nd rd picks !!

$5M TPE, flexibility to tinker with the roster, ducking the tax.

It's the 30th pick. It's essentially a 2nd rounder if you pick right in the 2nd round.

Not to nitpick, but it’s 939 miles from the Garden to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Whose bright idea was it to start free agency so late in the day? I'm all out of finding ways to kill time. What am I gonna do for the next hour? Talk to you guys? Ugh.

I guess this Indiana trade is happening. The Knicks never did make sense. Happy to be wrong.

Kemba / Brown / Warren / Tatum / Baynes or Favors
Hill / Smart / Nesmith / Grant / Theis

That looks so beautiful lol seems to good to be true but wow more scoring and size ?! That’s a guaranteed free ride to the Finals at the least (nothing stopping Bron 3 Peat it’s already written)

Take the trade exception with two second rounders and you might get better player

This Wood noise makes me think Ainge isn't doing all that well in the Hayward-Indiana negotiations and we're not getting Turner... but something a lot worse like McDermott + Lamb or some crap like that

So is Hayward getting traded to Indy right at 6?

It's the 30th pick. It's essentially a 2nd rounder if you pick right in the 2nd round.

When you trade any 1st rd pick during draft its to move up in future 1st .... Vernon Carey still on the board, Kanter is hardly a scrub ! All that for tpe we most likely will not even use ! Full mle is twice that !!

Something more has to be coming back ...

Feels like the Wood idea came from a Pistons blogger. Not really a rumor. Unless I missed something.
