Trade/Free Agency Thread, part Ocho, 2023-24

Brad Stevens had the green light! He didn’t spend!

Actually, this is what Brad really said:

Read on Twitter

Right now our roster doesn’t look like well-rounded team possible

Which makes me believe that we're not finished.

[165bows]

What team needs cap space to give the Celtics a player with their new $6.2 million TPE?

Idk but Cole Anthony could fit there. Or I. Stewart if another move gets made.

Philly signed Bamba for the min. Hard to believe he wouldnt be a upgrade over Kornet. So far we signed two non shooters, drafted a guy who can’t shoot, and traded moved on from one of the teams best outside shooters. Brad knows who the coach is, right?

We also traded a non-shooter (Smart) for a good shooting big man (Porzingis), which you conveniently left out

Porzingis is a career 35% from deep. I think he’ll see more open looks this season but his shooting has been up and down. For everything we say about Smart’s outside shot he did ahoot better than Jaylen this season from three. I dont see the tradeoff as huge though Id rather have Porzingis taking the last shot.

I have a feeling Doncic won't like Grant's personality. Brad sent him there as a double agent so Luka will soon demand to be traded out of Dallas.

I mean.. were they really balanced last year? 87 guards and a couple swings and bigs that play half the time.

Im still advocating trading for lillard but keeping brown

Brogdon , White, Pritchard + 3 firsts for Lillard
Make it a 3 team trade to get portland what they want

Dame - Banton
Jaylen - Hauser
Tatum - brisset
Zinger - Horford
RW3 - Horford

Im fine with that sign some ring chasers and cs are golden

White is untouchable to me, no thanks. I'd rather trade Rob than White.

Tough decisions but if they want williams i do it too

Dame - white - banton
White - Brown - hauser
Brown - Tatum - walsh
Tatum - Horford - brisset
Zinger - Horford - kornet

Tough team

Gets us over the apron, won’t happen

[zoyathedestroya]

I will withhold my judgment on these moves until June of next year during the championship parade.

[gocelts]

People are rolling like we’ve won 2 championships with Smart and Grant FFS.

Grant got himself benched this season…why are so many so shocked we didn’t keep him?

I get depth is necessary, but you need the stars first then the filler. Stay tuned….Brad isn’t done yet.

Idk but Cole Anthony could fit there. Or I. Stewart if another move gets made.

Players I'd like with the TPE that might be possible if we throw in the right draft capital (in reality I think most/all of these are likely kept by their current team):

• Rubio
• Avdija
• Stewart
• Little
• Vassell
• Tre Mann
• Nesmith
• Dosunmu
• Otto Porter Jr (If it's a 6.3M TPE - it seems unclear right now whether it's 6.2 or 6.3M)
• Bey

Anthony fits but I just don't like his style for our team, but maybe the most likely to get dealt for cheap.

There others that fit where I'm certain those teams will definitely not trade them.

Not shocked but disappointed, big hit on wing d and severely hurts our flexibility for trades.

If all we do from here is sign Walsh and Davison to standard contracts, then we're at $179.57M, about 3M below the second apron. No MLE for you, maniacs.

(Or don't sign one of Davison or Walsh and use MLE. But then you're hard-capped for the season.)

Yeah, why I said, "if all we do..."

They wouldn’t take most all of these guys for that money imo. Anthony could be a swing for now and later - compare him to Jalen Brunson at that age.

[Celtics_Champs]

I think there is absolutely more to come from Brad.

I saw a total retooling of this team coming into the offseason and so far he’s done that, but it feels unfinished.

I think Brogdon is gone by the way. Harden and Lillard on the market complicated that but I still see him being sent out.
