One trade that would make a ton of sense to duck the tax and get better is Juancho and a couple of 2nds for Kenrich Williams

Should they re-sign him? No. Absolutely not. Will they? Absolutely. If he was available they’d be making the rounds now - he’s not. He won’t be. Only chance is via a sign and trade in the summer.
As far as horford deals proposed here I’m pretty sure shams said he’s one of the guys we don’t wanna trade.

The owner there reminds me of Jeremy Jacobs in that regard. I'm sure Beal might force something but the only thing the Celtics have going for them there is Tatum. In my opinion Tatum is just as likely willing to go to DC as Beal is to Boston. I don't think it will happen until Beal gets traded to a place like LA or Miami and Tatum ends up following. Boston doesn't have the cap space and doesn't have the assets to outbid anyone really. Which is why Fox or Simmons is more realistic but still not likely at this point.

What are your thoughts on this deal?
https://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/7511757
Boston: Al Horford and Jaylen Brown for Ben Simmons and Joe Harris (the Celtics get a playmaker and a shooter to support Jayson)
Brooklyn: Joe Harris and Jevon Carter for Al Horford and Danny Green (the Nets get tough veterans who can defend and provide spacing for the Big 3)
Philadelphia: Ben Simmons and Danny Green for Jaylen Brown and Jevon Carter (the Sixers get an All-Star wing to complement Joel, and slide under the luxury tax)
We can quibble about picks to balance value, but what do you think of the framework?

And Jalen Smith would just be a rental, right? Didn't the Suns decline his rookie option? If so, he'd be just like Schroder-- gone at the end of the year because you couldn't pay him enough.
