Free Agent/Trade/Waiver Thread, 2025-26, pt 3 – (Trade Deadline = Thurs, Feb. 5, 3pm, ET)

I mean a 2027 1st might be worth it for Missi. The 2027 first round pick is probably going to be in the 25-30 range. This would give the Celtics 4 centers: Queta, Missi, Garza and A Williams and allow the Celtics to possibly keep Simons.

That's 4 guys at C that add a lot of depth if not top tier talent. Adding Tatum + Missi (for Boucher and 2027) addresses a lot of the need, and in the summer Brad can work with Simons on a new deal or possible sign and trade with one of those bigs for an upgrade at Center.

Personally, I'm thinking that the center-by-committee is a feature for Joe, not a bug. Williams and Missi may both eclipse Queta and Garza in due time. They both bring complimentary skills to what we already have with Garza, even if Queta remains the de facto starter for the time being.

Lenny & Squiggy

EVERYONE SAYING NO!

Tatum for Giannis. Who says no?

I’m not. Brown, Tatum, or a package of whatever. I know, injuries… I know!

Turns out that Squiggy is starting to come around to the idea as well. Lenny is pissed.

I mean, it seems almost sacrilege to think about trading Tatum after all that has gone down, but if you can add Giannis to this team now?

That's like... the rest of the league has to catch up. The big Detroit front line not so scary anymore. OKC? Nice little run you had. Celtics become favorites for next couple years and it's straightforward 1:1 trade.

Celtics would have to add future asset(s) because of the uncertainty, but both teams are getting a champion. Very unlikely but it should be on the table.

Add Giannis and Missi to the team and the east is cooked.

To me Garza is so obviously a liability as a backup big in the post season - Amari even more so. Not sure Queta is a good enough starter for playoffs either.

In any case, I really hope we go for a run/dunk/rebound centre, and not a spacer like Vuc.

Did anyone mention Yves Missi?
