You don't understand, the other 29 teams are just there to help the Boston Celtics. The Nets have gone through this rebuilding process of clearing cap space so at the end of the day they can help the Boston Celtics clear salaries so the Celtics can get Giannis.

LOL. Some don't consider Milwaukee's and Brooklyn's perspectives. I can see Boston routing an expiring contract to Brooklyn though, since they need to reach a minimum salary floor.

There is one Celtics player I'd love to send to Brooklyn, and I want just one measly #8 pick in return.

The player who has the same number of championships and Finals MVPs as Giannis?

Now with these latest rape allegations, how much longer can the Pelicans afford to deal with Zion's nonsense?

They need to cut bait and be done with this clown ...

Don’t think the Celtics get Giannis, but the only scenario that I think makes some sense is a three-way with New Orleans where the Bucks get their picks back so they can tank as well as other young assets

If Giannis is truly available and he is interested in the Celtics, then you offer Brown/White/Hauser, 4 Celtics Picks and multiple Pick Swaps in some sort of 3 - 5 team deal if the Bucks rather have young players and a plethora of Draft Picks.

and if that is the case, why the heck would Giannis want to go to the Celtics? What is left?

Again, I'm not saying Giannis to the Celtics is not possible, I'm just saying the Nets are not going to help because they view Giannis as a top priority for themselves, real or not.

Good idea. But you don't bring it up enough. Maybe try posting it three times a day from now on.

Oh we’re still talking Giannis?

Okay I’ll check back in tomorrow…

I give full credit for the OKC's awesome title run to Horford spending some time with their franchise. Brought the culture of winning and accountability into that locker room.

Depending on the direction Brad takes, I would be intrigued by a White to Detroit package built around Ivey.

I do think one of the weaknesses this team has had recently is an overall lack of athleticism in the backcourt.

By all accounts he’s an awesome kid who works his ass off.

Larry_Russell · Post #1314 » by **Larry_Russell** » Fri May 30, 2025 6:45 pm

Jrue Holiday to Toronto Raptors
Get a vet PG who can make some shots
Jrue
Dick
Ingram
Barnes
Poeltl

Kristaps Porzingis to Golden State -
Get a center who can spread the floor
Curry
Podz
Jimmy
Green
Kristaps

Kuminga S&T to Cleveland
gets a big wing to defend
Garland
Mitchell
Hunter
Kuminga
Mobley

RJ Barrett and Jarret Allen to Boston
Get a wing player and a rebounding, lobcity bigman (drop 15.4 million)

White/Pritchard/??????
Barrett/Scheierman/??????
Brown/Hauser/Walsh
???????/???????
Allen/Kornet/Queta

Holes to fill still, but a start.

IMO, Jrue is worth Ivy and filler

Larry_Russell · Post #1316 » by **Larry_Russell** » Fri May 30, 2025 6:54 pm

Brown, #28, #32 to Atlanta

Hauser and Tillman to Charlotte for Mark Williams

Jalen Johnson, Terance Mann, Mark Williams, #13 and #22 to Boston (14 mill savings)

Jrue/Pritchard
White/Mann
#13/ Scheierman/Walsh
Jalen Johnson / #22
Kristaps/Mark Williams/Kornet/Queta

Can shop Kristaps for more savings and depth

Right! Giannis is better than JB but not to the point where you give up that much asset. Plus Giannis is 30 and can’t shoot, I don’t think his game will age well. JB and a pick or 2 and a swap is enough, if not then forget it.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #1318 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Fri May 30, 2025 10:31 pm

If we could get a massive package from Houston for Brown, you have to give that serious consideration, right? They've got nice pieces. I just don't think it's tenable to have two supermax players and still be able to build out a roster, at least not for more than a year or two. This is seeming like a feasible idea to me.

Also cp3. He may not be a champ but he is a very good leader as far as I have heard.

Post #1320 » by **Shak_Celts** » Fri May 30, 2025 10:57 pm

I would trade anybody for Giannis, JB is a given, but even Tatum. Before the injury. Not because Tatum isn’t better than JB, haven’t questioned that in years, but it was proven last season JB could win as the #2 and he could definitely win with Giannis! Idc what anyone feels about JB, he’s proven, whether he’s liked or not!

JT would be chosen to stay because he’s better, duh, but if Bucks said JT or nothing (no other player btw), then I would be on board, without much thought.

So Brad, hear me, GET IT DONE (for me)!! It doesn’t matter who it costs! :lol:
