Dream of signing Trey D. Ballast to the Celtics slowly dying.

It is a stars league. Start recruiting Kemba Walker, and Jayson Tatum.

To me, Tatum "pulling" for Mook is not a positive attribute for Tatum. I'm calling it first, Tatum and all our picks to Minny for KAT

Worst possible role model for Tatum on and off the court.

Russell Westbrook, James Harden etc.

Tough to see Rocks dealing Harden. They are one of the best teams in the league.

Being on a contract means nothing. Look at paul george.

Cousins sucked on both ends in the Finals.

Even if you don't think Kanter is better, Cousins is not so good that ruining the team's chemistry again for him is worth it

Remember the Celtics are all-in on "Good Guys: now. That narrows the field of NBA players, doesn't it...

JR signing there would cap off this saga perfectly

Rooting for lakers to implode and celtics to surprise... shocking i know. Get davis for nothing but cap, leave lakers and lebron to rot

Nope. Not easy. Jaylens cap hold is 19 bills

By my crude and early math we could get to 25 million in cap space pretty easy with Hayward, Theis, and Kanter opt outs, not counting holds for 2020 first round picks and keeping Jaylens cap hold.

NBA contracts are meaningless. Players request to be traded while under contract. They tamper, they talk. Look at what happened with Kyrie, Paul George etc. Either join the game, or be left off.

Need to clear Jaylen's cap hold too.

Projected cap = $118m
Kemba - $34.2m
Brown - $19.6m
Smart - $13m
Tatum - $9.9m
3 rookies, time lord, poirer - $9m
Theis and kanter - movable

That comes out to $32.3m of space, which is spitting distance, no? Or am i off?

The last two season he couldve been potentially the rebounding leader of the league if you look at how many boards Westbrook took away from him.

Has anybody estimated the cost of Adams? (I ask because I've finally stopped keeping up with this thread.) I'm thinking in terms of all of:
-- Making a difference in the luxury tax and hence luxury tax repeater issues.
-- Assets to OKC.
-- Assets to Philly or Brooklyn.

It could work with the right pieces, we'll probably lose Brown and Smart. But the question is then, will a starting frontcourt of Kanter and Adams work?

Kemba, Hayward, Tatum, Kanter, Adams.

Or dump Hayward if you want to keep the young core. And in return we can get Adams + fillers

Kemba, Brown, Tatum, Theis, Adams
Wannamaker, Smart, Ojeleye, Kanter, Poirier
Young guns rotation fillers: Edwards, Langford, G. Will, R. Will
