Trade Thread, Part 3: The Fun Continues

[Celts17Pride]

Good Morning! Celtics get Brandon Ingram yet?

[100proof]

Sex Pants and a first round pick for Jakob Poeltl?

In a heartbeat.

Doubt spurs do it thiugh

[ddb]

the Brandon Ingram "rumor" is the most random trade idea of all-time. Why in the world would NOLA ever want to trade Ingram? a 22-year old averaging 25ppg. With Zion/Ingram in place the Pels have a core. The only way this makes sense for NOLA is if they want to acquire someone like KAT via trade and feel like collecting as many picks/assets as possible puts them in the best position to do that.

I call B.S. on this idea. sorry

depends on if they want to make a serious playoff push. Jru and Hayward give them stable support who can produce at a high level. Good clear headed vets to work with all the youth they have. And they add what is essentially 2 lotto picks as well.

I think they consider it long and hard.

that is certainly an interesting take

[Mr Loggins]

I mean, Ingram would be a phenomenal fit between Brown and Tatum, but.. he's going into restricted free agency.. I guess you'd have to offer Langford, probably Grant and/or Rob Williams, Edwards, and 3 or more 1sts.. It's interesting, especially if you could give up Rob and turn around and trade Hayward for Capela or whoever..

I don’t see how that’s close to appealing for Ingram unless they secretly hate him.

Agree, but.. they could have reservations about his health, his fit with Zion, not wanting to give him a max - Brooklyn let DAR go - they might want to sign someone else (Hayward?) over the summer..

If there are any legs to the rumor, if you turned Langford and Rob Willians and picks into Ingram and then traded Hayward for Capela, Drummond or Myles Turner..

it’s just like that craigslist Ted Talk where that guy turned a paperclip eventually into a house

seems like each one of the NO assets is worth more than the corresponding Bos assett

[jeremym480]

I love talking trades as much as the next guy but yall are wasting a lot of energy on the fake Ingram deal.

Ingram should be an All-Star and is a RFA on a team that needs control of players because they aren't a FA destination. New Orleans hasn't been great this year but their injury situation has probably been worse than ours. They have one of the easiest schedules down the stretch and will more than likely be trying for the playoffs instead of tanking. It makes zero sense for them to trade Ingram now.

Spoiler:

Opinion piece. The part on Smart isn't based on rumors. But KOC is suggesting smart GMs should try to pry him away from the Cs, but he himself wouldn't do it if he's running the Celtics.

Read on Twitter

I'd love to steal Derrick White. I proposed one a while ago in a late night flurry... Something like Grant/Wanamaker for White/Metu. Maybe add a 2nd or MIL 20. Maybe not since Grant is our 3rd big at this point.

SA will look to find a new home for LMA and DeRozen before dealing White. They like White.

^SAS will dump Forbes before White

That’s a lot of my trade ideas, yeah But it happens. Look how Brooklyn got DAR, years ago the Bulls got Luol Deng because the Suns didn’t want their pick.. Cleveland got an unprotected lotto 1st (I think the one that became Kyrie) from the Clippers for taking the last year(?) of Baron Davis’ money.. We gave up an unprotected lotto pick that could have been Shawn Marion to *upgrade Andrew Declerq to Vitaly Potapenko*

[Andrew McCeltic]

Lonzo would be a similar interesting target - I’d give up Langford picks etc. for him

[sully00]

What pick(s) would Boston add to Vincent Poirier and Semi Ojeleye for Montrezl Harrell if the Clippers offered that as part of a bigger deal on their end?

I really like Harrell I would part with the Memphis pick for him and I don't even really care about the two late 1sts at all.

[Celtics_Champs]

I enjoy reading this thread but can only feel like a wet blanket because I truly believe one to three minor moves will happen in the entire league.

[Captain_Caveman]

If we traded Smart, I’d think it’d be much more preferable to do it in the offseason than during the season for chemistry reasons.

If it improves the team and gives us a path to contending, pull the trigger on any trade at any time.

This season is meaningless. Shoot, without a big move, this entire rebuild is meaningless.

[sully00]

What pick(s) would Boston add to Vincent Poirier and Semi Ojeleye for Montrezl Harrell if the Clippers offered that as part of a bigger deal on their end?

The problem is that we’d have the same problem that would cause the Clippers to deal him: with Smart, Hayward, Brown, Kemba and Tatum (re-signed on a max deal), the luxury tax hit from re-signing him would be too much to keep him. He’d be a strict rental for us.

At some point you just pay the damn tax your trying to win a championship. I am pretty sure this team planned on adding Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, and Al Horford all making 27-30 mil a season. I am way more excited about paying 26 year olds than 33 year olds too much money. Make the deal for Harrell and hold the line with Hayward like you did last year with Horford.
