They have nothing. They are flirting with luxury tax so this Miami and Butler thing seems unrealstic without some creative S&T scenario.

That pick can get us a player that will be good when Tatum is being courted by NY and LA and deciding if he wants to stay in Boston.

Horford may not even be good as soon as next season. Father time claims everyone, and he looking at Horford's ability to move side to side as a 33 year old big man and saying "hmm you've had more time than most already".

100% this.

Ill give a first to Brooklyn. I wont give them a future unprotected lottery pick.

Are the Nets an over the cap team? If they sign and trade with us, they then become one, right? Well, when Abby was saying the sign and trade with them is not dead yet, she was mentioning they might do one with Golden State with Durant. If they then become an over the cap team for that sign and trade, it would be more incentive for them to do one with us, and now get something in return, and we wouldn't be the one making them go over the cap? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Nets will win the press conference, Knicks will be but of all jokes. But when you look at it, Nets just went all in on a loonie/chemistry killer in Kyrie, and KD - a guy that's gonna miss a year with the worst injury a basketball player can have. I could easily see that to turn into a disaster. Knicks will at least have flexibility and a high draft pick.

Flexibility for what? Least Nets upside is a championship.

I said it was a hot take

I mean, I get why Nets took the gamble. I would be shocked if it worked.

Flexibility? Take a salary back (Whiteside, Teague) and get an asset for it. Have an option to add max guy in 20 or 21 while you develop your young guys (Know, Robinson, Smith, RJ) plus another top pick next year. Things change so fast in this league, having options is good.

I'm 100% with you. BK will be good, but I don't think that's a real contender. The achilles tear changes everything.

Brad Stevens always preaches to control what you can control. So yeah, haven't slept in I don't even know how many hours. And have controlled my bladder just fine. Hope I don't develop kidney stones. Give me more Celtics news.

Kyrie is so overrated. If LeBron didn't return to Cleveland he'd still be gunning for that no.1 pick

Wonder why Horford is suddenly anti Boston now...Maybe he knows he’s just going to get a big payday and whoever commits is ultimately going to get screwed.

Horford to Philly is confounding. So little space

Could the Lakers really strike out?

That would be incredible and hilarious

Weren't they saying that Leonard requested that only Jeannie Buss and Magic Johnson be in the meeting? Who is Pelinka going to deliver a sales pitch to if he's not in the meeting?

This guy claims it's just Jeannie and possibly Pelinka.

Would be great if DLo goes to Minny, and Kawhi and Butler go to LAC, then LA gets no other all star! :lol:

Russel to Wolves. Kawhi to anyone but the Lakers.

Lakers end up with leftovers :lol:

I guess Horford is out of question right now, IMO we should go after Steven Adams, since we're no longer on the 3-team deal to get Capela. Hayward would probably be on the move, it'd really sad to see him go... We still have other needs though.

That's what I read a while ago from the Lakers reddit guy (RDAmbition) and it makes sense with Butler likely leaving.

If true, Al is leaving the Cs to go to a division rival and backup Embiid and Harris. Is this just about the money or is he pissed at the Celtics?

Money.

The Heat pay the most money in the league.

They have -$50million space.

If Horford wants Miami, sign-and-trade fun there could be.

Heat want J Butler, again.

Miami has better and younger and taller versions of Al Horford anyway.
