Trade Thread #8: All Gordon things come to an End

[GotDaSauce]

Thompson is actually a decent move...

Yeah, I guess I'd prefer Thompson at 2/19 over Turner at 3/54, especially since Thompson shot 39% from 3 as opposed to Turner's 34%, and Thompson averaged over 12 rebounds per 36 as against Turner's 8.

If you want to win championships, rebound. Read my sig.

lol of course people are going to regurgitate this awful misleading stat to defend Ainge. It's on .4 attempts a game. Too funny

Give him 2 weeks with Brad and he will be up to 5 attempts a game by the 2nd week of the season!

[themoneyteam2]

You’re right, we’re stuck with him for two years now and wasted our MLE to increase our bench defense slightly.

No, no, great move. I’m sure this will go swimmingly well...

Enjoy the shiny new toy guys.

See ya can't say I'll miss your posting!

Oh don’t worry bud, I’m not going anywhere.

I’ll be here to clown you for missing a spot on Ainge’s nuts when you finish his ball wash.

Good one?

[Darth Celtic]

I kind of think he'll start over Theis.

Speaking of Theis, considering dude is a free agent next year we should probably trade him.

Him and Edwards or Semi gets you to PJ Tucker or Derrick Rose territory, salary wise.

sold, maybe not rose, but i'd trade those three for some 9m ish pg to backup. sign another center with BLE. Like Giles.

Or just tacko.

but i think we need a big who can shoot. I know RW3 and TT have both been working on that, but i wouldn't count on it in the playoffs.

If we trade Theis for another pg, we have to get a big who can at least threaten the 3.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Good signing. A big who can get boards. Lovely. I had assumed he was going to the Clippers.

[Ben-N1ce]

Who are veteran PG left?

[KGboss]

Statistically TT had his best season last year. 12 and 10 with 2 assists shot 52% and 39% from 3.

Not bad.

Ok nowwww are we here?



Also to note kardashian vs IT curse

Maybe we are now curse free??

[AgentGreen]

They specifically needed Thompson in the Heat matchup. He helps in their specific bad matchups, including Philly.

He's also a true vet with a ring. Good signing!

Probably swept the Heat with TT.

[Homerclease]

I see where you’re going with this.

Think we get a seat at the Giannis table next summer?

With what cap money would that be happening with

My first thought was that we would only do 1 year deals and then eventually clear Kemba off the books with a trade.

Or they can sign and trade for Brown and fillers if we can’t dump Kemba

[fallguy]

There is so much opportunity for Romeo this season.

[Shak_Celts]

I have been following TT for a few years now, he's been working hard on the 3. He may not make them but we are going to find out because CBS would let me take them!!

[BRUNiNHO91]

actually a great move, he's almost as good a three point shooter (39%) as KAT (41%)...what's that now...that's on .4 attempts compared to 8? Who cares, I'll keep regurgitating this to defend Ainge ad nauseam?

Yeah..I guess Anthony Davis would have been better. Ainge sucks.

[SMTBSI]

Wanted Ibaka, but TT will be relatively worry-free depth for two years. I can get behind it.

In case some folks don't know, he's just coming off a 12/10 season.

As a bench player? Fine! But as a starter? No way! We wanted a legit big that can rim protect. Not an undersized big that can’t post up or shoot. Good luck defending against the likes of Bam! While the sixers have Embiid and still got bigger with Dwight. We are stuck with Theis and tristan thompson This has been a terrible off season.

It's about the best we were going to do at the moment. I'm not jumping for joy, but it's credible damage control.

I still have Theis starting.

[Curmudgeon]

Now I want a Eurosniper: Belinelli or Ilyasova, although I could live with Langston Galloway. Or Isaiah Thomas.

[nasbahceltic]

Solid move. Good to see Klutch isn't totally against us going forward

People have already dismissed that and clowned him for bringing up the 39% 3PT shooting because it was on 23 attempts. Why exactly are you running with acting like everyone is agreeing with him?

I guess it would fit your narrative right?

This is about as plausible of a damage control move as we were going to come up with.

Nobody's celebrating in the streets over TT, but we needed bigman depth. And we needed bigman depth who's primary value didn't lie in taking away shots from our scorers.

Thompson is a huge upgrade on defense over Kanter.

TT needs to be the opening day starter! Time
For Brad to grow a pair with his rotations.

[StojkoVrankovic]

There is so much opportunity for Romeo this season.

you spelled everyone wrong

[greenroom31]

Glad to add some depth at C and TT is always a pain in the ass when we play against him. He’s active and he rebounds. I’ll take it.
