Trade Thread #8: All Gordon things come to an End

Are we really sure that Jaylen would have gotten a big offer this offseason?

Very few teams with that kind of cap room, and of the ones who do or could have, who was bypassing all of the other possible guys out there just to tie it up in an offer they know we'd have matched. Maybe the Knicks do it for the max just to spite us, but... hmm.

pretty sure Charlotte would have rather given that contract to Brown

But we match, and then they lose out on Hayward or anyone else of importance while we make them wait.

I mean defending the honor of Danny Ainge must be taxing and all. The roster depth is pretty brutal. Stevie Wonder could see that.

Pretty sure I stated losing Hayward for nothing was brutal multiple times chief. Just pointed a more optimistic picture and didn't **** my pants after losing Hayward because I don't think it's as big of a loss as you do clearly. The sky isn't falling.

We just have differing views on the state of the team, just as we did last year when you were going crazy after they didn't re-sign Horford...

What do you like about this roster? Honestly.

I like having a borderline top 10 player who is ascending in Jayson Tatum, the only guy to put up 25/10/5 in the playoffs.

I also like Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker, and Marcus Smart.

I like Theis but definitely need an upgrade. I also am cautiously optimistic about Langford going forward (health is the issue) and love both Nesmith and Pritchard. I think Grant is a good bench piece glue guy going forward and think Timelord can be pretty good.

On thread 8 and only trade we've accomplisehed was kanter.

Oh my.

Obama would be badass

Damn autocorrect

Assuming we're talking Michelle here? Better wingspan and standing reach than Barack.

Michelle probably has a better jump shot than Semi

[SMTBSI]

Do you have anything better to do than completely **** on the roster, management, and coaching all day?

I'm genuinely curious. Seems like you're not having much fun little guy.

He's not reading or responding to what you're actually posting. He's got a caricature in his head of what he imagines optimistic fans are like, and is waging war against that.

If Charlotte tries to clear cap space by moving Rozier to the Clipper, who do you want from the Clips? Obviously Ainge will ask for Kawhi.

He would have been top restricted fee agent. Everyone knows BI is getting max, nobody called the bluff to waste time on offer sheet. Hawks and Knicks would have offered and we would have had to match full max (which isn't end of world), or worse he takes QO and is unrestricted in next years big cap space wave.... bad.

Are we sure? I'm not.

Alright Danny time to spend some money. Time to make a trade. Do something to improve this roster. I’m fine with the Hayward situation. 120 sheets is asinine for Hayward. But let’s go... Bogdanvic & Giles. Bring em in somehow. I’m sure it can be done

Poirier being forgotten like he was while here. Poor guy.

Don't disrespect Vinny Sexpants like that!

So off the top of my head, here are some of the remaining FAs available:

Harry Giles
Ibaka
Baynes
KCP
Glenn Robinson
Austin Rivers
Evan Turner
Wayne Ellington
Taj Gibson
E'Twaun Moore
Bryn Forbes

Sign Baynes, Giles, Evan Turner and Waters

[themoneyteam2]

Need a big (Giles or Baynes?) and then a wing to round out the roster. The bench is already an upgrade from last year imo with Nesmith and Pritchard. I guess we'll find out soon.

You don't think Atlanta would have maxed him?

Smart takes way too many shots. Hes a solid player but his shot selection sucks. Falls in love with his jumper way too much when he should defer. Solid pieces. You've mentioned Langford Timelord Grant Nesmith and Prichard. All 5 will be in the rotation this year. That doesn't bode well for this teams chances. They need some kind of veteran or two to help this thing grow.

Fake news.

Terry back to Boston

[K For Three]

In a bizarre way this has all been hilarious.

Yeah, I think he gets max money if he's an RFA this offseason. I think he's a huge prize in this class. Hawks, Knicks, Hornets would all be in. And other teams would clear space to get him.
