Trade/Free Agency Thread 2023-24 – (Trade Deadline Feb. 8, 3PM, ET)

[165bows]

Taurean Prince would be a nice pick-up. I wonder if LAL's would be receptive to Svi/Stevens (for filler) plus 2-3 second round picks to help them in other trades. I'd imagine having picks has more value to them in potential deals to strengthen their roster.

I don't know how the Lakers brass feel but the fanbase seems to hate Taurean Prince and will happily leave him behind.

Can't say I'm super knowledgeable about how he's played but he seems way over-extended there. He'd have half the role at best here. Really he seems like what the Celtics kind of struggled with last year, a whole handful of guys that scored 10-12ppg/36 minutes and only had one area of the court they scored from at all.

So maybe he stinks but the role the Celtics have is the one he looks suited to play at this point, which does not seem at all like a 30+mpg starter like he is in LA.

I might be out on Bey. His shooting slump is scaring me. It looked like he was back on track there for a couple of games but he's now 1/11 from 3 in his last 2 games.

Over his last 10 games he's shooting 20% from 3 (12/60) and is down to 30% from 3 on the season.

Fontecchio is a big wing.

Also, the Celtics last title came as a result of one of Danny Ainge's buddies and former co-workers (McHale) trading a good player (KG) to Boston.

It would be fate if our next title happens after Ainge himself trades a good player (Fontecchio) to Boston, by completing the deal with a former Co-worker (Brad).

Yeah Ainge needs to pay it forward to appease the gods….but I don’t think Fontecchio quite does it.

****. That really sucks....honestly. I may not like the Sixers but I really want to see players healthy.

[keevsnick1]

Wow, game changer for the eastern conference.

If it's a minor tear that heals without surgery, I think he could be back this season. But if it requires surgery he's probably done for the year.

[SLCceltic]

We need three things:
1. A big to throw at Jokic and Embiid and to fill in for KP if he misses games in the POs AND to help out on the boards from time to time when we inevitably struggle there.

I like Andre Drummond aLOT for this role and he is only making 3.6 per on a 2yr deal

2. A clutch vet who can move the ball and will not hurt us too badly on defense, and is okay with not playing every game.

Kelly is obvious if available (and would be in rotation every game). Oladipo makes alot of sense for this role, hell even Goran Dragic might be lured out of retirement for another championship opportunity. I am VeRY confident that there will be someone for us on the buyout market !

3. We need SOMETHING to get us out of own way when we have big leads and piss them away. We are first in the NBa in 1st and 2nd quarter scoring !! BUT we are like 25th is 3rd and 4th quarter scoring ugghgghgahhhh !!! I HATE THIS
not sure if its a player(s) or coach that will correct this but we need something

what is the solution besides getting rid of Joe ?? I like Joe ALOT but this is a MENTAL PROBLEM that may BITe our ass hard on the way to 18

PJ tucker is a crass thug but probably moves the needle in all 3 areas ha ha

They are 37-11 with the easiest schedule remaining.
Need is not the right word here.

Reg-season and POs VeRY different. This team is not complete. At full strength, KP Al and Kornet is NoT enough, esp with KP likely missing some games.

We also need a veteran that can move the ball and be trusted to be successful in playOFF intense conditions

Finally, all of these blown leads and late game execution is a serious PROBLEM ! not sure if a player(s) can fix this, its a mental/toughness problem

Nic Claxton is allegedly “more” available.

PP, Kornet and Svi for Claxton and take Dennis Smith and Lonnie Walker into the TPE. How many picks do we need to add?

We can't be mortgaging our future for a half-season rental. We need to save our picks for Giannis/Luka/Embiid in the off-season.

[Celts17Pride]

Did we trade everyone after last night?

Probably 3 1st rounders and that might not even be enough..especially considering our 1st rounders are late 1st rounders..and considering the Nets apparently don't want to trade good players for picks..

as they should be, we're a little too soft for my liking downlow. This team needs a dawg, finesse isn't going to cut it! Barkley out here labelling the C's what we already know.... "mentally weak team"

Yeah, I agree.

That's why I brought up Beef Stew yesterday.

Cs need a tough guy like Stew.

[Rangeman]

People, there is no one out there who can help the Cs. Their guards DWhite Jrue PP should be controlling the tempo of the game and not deferring to JT and JB. Up to now those two all stars are still clueless to winning. They play stupid soft and are predictable most of the time. Cs gave gotten this far with luck. Can’t rebound, can’t defend and turn the ball over. Can only beat stupid teams

[Fierce1]

Cs can't rebound?

#1 in rebounds per game and #4 in rebounding differential.

And Cs have been top 5 in defensive rating all season long.

Looks like you're out of range, man!
