Spoiler:

Kanter also taking his sweet time to opt in.

Kanter + Poirier + Semi + 26 for Oubre would work. Salaries are almost a perfect match!

Ever since Olynyk punked him I haven’t been able to take Oubre seriously.

For those of you who don't have cable TV, like me, where will you be streaming the festivities tonight. Taking suggestions on good streams (even though I could access ESPN).

??? this sourced?

I will rename my dog after Okongwu if this comes to pass.

O is for objective, always impartial
K is for knowledge, an avid learner
O is for organized, you always know where things are
N is for noteworthy, just like your achievements
G is for golden, memories you share
W is for wonder, the child in us all
U is for upstanding, your inner-self

This really does describe my dog, Guapo Jamyang Ösel Okongwu

CLE deal makes no sense. they could just keep drummond and not re-sign in a year. no way gordo resigns there anyways.

I suggested this trade awhile back. Rather than lose Hayward for nothing, if he's decided to leave, getting Drummond and the #5 is a great return for us. He will extend his range out to 3 at a respectable clip imo, he can defend down low (not so much the perimeter but how is that any different from Theis?), rebound, is a good passer for a center and he can be the diver in PnR. #5 pick allows us to take Haliburton to be our PG of the future or Okongwu to take over for when Drummond leaves.

I understand this from CLE perspective because it'll be easier for them to move Hayward for a 1st at the deadline than Drummond and the pick will be in a much stronger draft (21). They have badly needed a wing and now they get it. At #14 they can draft Smith or Precious to replace Drummond or a wing like Woodard II to be their 4 with Love their 5. I don't like the players that have been mocked to them at #5. Since they have used so much draft capital on guards, I can't see them taking Haliburton or Hayes. Obi isn't worth a lottery pick let alone #5 and maybe they don't feel comfortable with anyone else so they can move back.

Hayward gets to play with shooters and he'd be a primary playmaker so he could build his value back up for what is looking like a weaker than first thought 2021 draft class. Makes sense all around. People should be really excited about the prospect of this going down but oddly aren't in the slightest. Weird.

oubre would be a bench upgrade, sadly. could do a lot worse with 26/30.

Isn't he making 15 million. Would you trade smart and a first for him?

Oubre would be great, but

Smart > Oubre

&

Smart, Pick > Oubre

Could do it without Smart IF ONLY KANTER OPTED IN ALREADY. Kanter + VP + Semi + pick

Okongwu is the dude that has broken foot correct? This should excite us why?

I think everyone has this backward. Klay getting hurt means GS keeps their pick, not trade it to the C's

Because he’s going to be awesome, and it’s a broken toe. Out 1-3 weeks.

Right. Let Wiseman do his thing. And then he becomes a good trade piece

Dude is apparently a total cancer.

An allegedly good young prospect about to be traded by his fourth rebuilding team? LOL, ok.

Nah, they’re not wasting another season of Steph.

Broken big toe. He’s out like 3 weeks.

[GoCeltics123]

If we get Okongwu, I'm going to be beyond pumped.

Can't see it though. I hope you're right Comedian/reload/Cave

Its his pinky toe, couple of weeks, not a problem

Strike that, Sorry, its his big toe

He played fantastic for PHX last year. They were my League Pass team

[Celts17Pride]

If the Celtics swing a deal for Drummond and the 5th then Kanter would be running out of Boston as fast as he could (we all know it wouldn’t be real fast)
