The (Quintessential) Trade Thread, 2017 (Part 5.0)

[Homerclease]

Does not matter how the man writes, as long as he has sources any new trade info is welcome

We sure know Danny liked McLemore since draft time as I remember right. Getting this kind of package koufos+McLemore makes AB even more expansible in potential trade for a star.

It does matter. It directly affects his credibility when his posts look like my 10 year old typed them. Nobody is asking for perfect syntax and grammar but come on. At least put a little effort into making your posts readable

From Kings' board's insider, who's either dumb or pretending to be dumb, real or fake.

I can also say that the Hawks are very interested in Benny Mac as well as Cavs , Celtics , Magic . Pacers & Denver
Okc , Boston , Bulls , Rockets & Cavs are interested in Koufas .

I would keep an eye on Boston they have talked about a possibility of A.Johnson & a future 1st of some kind for Koufas & Mac .
Again that is talk with nothing concrete as of yet .
Boston is trying to pry either Cousins still but are also trying to pry Butler or George . These are the 3 players they would like the most and they are trying to get one of them .

Attack the post, not the poster please. You know better.

I am not here to start however what I stated is true .
I find it amazing that in past years you have asked me for info and know you are on your board name calling me and your mods allow this .
My source is legit . Doesn't mean a deal will happen . We have talked though .

No idea why you put commas , and periods , in such weird places . Sorry if that makes me question your reliability & intelligence . You mis spelled Koufos too .

& I don't know if you have legit access or not - some of the guys on our board have confirmed with our mods by ip addresses, email, etc. would have no problem upgrading your status in my opinion if you had some confirmation like that - it's not personal.

s

First I am not a professional writer . I do not claim to be the best speller with great use of commas etc. If you doubt me fine . I have been proven correct a number of times and I as well get contacted by many other members from other boards as well at times .
I have a direct inside source within the Kings organization . Again believe that or not I do not care .

I stand behind everything I have ever written . If you or anyone doubts me ever that is fine ignore me then . No need to name call .
Its' uncalled for . I am not here to troll or start drama . This is my last response . F.Y.I. you have in the past asked me for info and I responded most every time .
I ask that you in the future not to ask me for information as I have no desire to give information to anyone whom is rude and disrespectful .
Also I don't care about upgrades to status etc. I am not on here for glory or to be a Mod I don't want that .

By the way so you all know the Cousins rumor to Orlando ever being offered 100% B.S. it never happened .

Thank You & best of luck .

Keep posting. Most here are glad for it. We have had "fake" insiders before. We have had insiders with 1 source, lost the source and made stuff up for months and it created lots of drama on the board. Myself, I enjoy the read and if i think it's crap, i'll just ignore it.

If the Celtics plan to keep Olynyk I wish that Ainge would give up his pie in the sky and just trade for Tyson Chandler. He isn't the perfect fit, but who is? You want rim protection and rebounding, he provides it. I'd also love to have him around to mentor Zizic.

Watch him get injured or surgery something like it in his first season if he joins us. Just no to Tyson this deadline or ever, maybe as a buy-out ever ever

[klemen4]

I think this weekend Stevens will have answer from Haywood...we will than know which way to go.

If he comes, we staz put. Trade Minnz 2nd and Zeller for Bogut or sign Sanders.

If Hazward is a NO...than we can make moves no matter the cap space...than also players like Gallinari are possible.

[Shamrock]

Can we fast forward to a half hour before the deadline? Nothing good so far

[gocelts]

I believe off record that Hayward ,Stevens, and Ainge know what Hayward is going to do this offseason.

Maybe they know he'll stay in Utah and are looking at other players...or they know he'll leave and are keeping their cap space...but I do think they already know. I mean why wouldn't they? There is no mystery regarding either team and what they can and can't offer. The decision should already be made.

[SmartWentCrazy]

George being dealt makes a lot of sense. He won't qualify for the DVE, and is thus unlikely to resign, and Indy can maximize their return and build around Turner by dealing him now.

[KyleCleric]

Say Hayward signs with us and we get the first pick overall. The 3 players that we have stashed from last year's draft join the team.

We'd have-
PG: Isaiah Thomas/Markelle Fultz/Terry Rozier/Demetrius Jackson
SG: Gordon Hayward/Avery Bradley/Marcus Smart
SF: Jae Crowder/Jaylen Brown/Abdel Nader
PF: Guerschon Yabusele/Jordan Mickey
C: Al Horford/Ante Zizic

"Come and get me. Please!!"

It might just be me, but I'm taking that as PG hinting he wants to go to Boston.

Problem is, Bird will never let that happen.

[TheOGJabroni]

I'm at a point where I rather have Butler or George vs Hayward if it only takes Brown & the Brooklyn 18 1st. Hayward is a step below them and it also means we need to part with players like Olynyk, Johnson, Jerebko, etc. It may not sound like much but we have strong depth that could really take a hit (particular with Kelly) if we clear all our cap space for him.

If we offer up Brown and the Brooklyn 18 pick + Zeller & Jerebko for either George or Butler, hopefully one organization bites. From there, we know we will land a potential star guard in the draft, so I move Bradley for Noel and try to get some draft compensation back as well. That would leave us with:

Thomas / Smart / Jackson
PG or JB / BK 17 / Rozier
Crowder / Nader
Horford / Johnson / Yabusele / Mickey
Noel / Olynyk / Zizic

Probably a pipe dream but one can hope.

Bro you're on a Celtics message board. Save the couch therapist routine for your family. No one on here cares.

I get that you seemingly get weak in the knees and wet down below when thinking about Tyson Chandler in a white and green uniform, but it will not happen.

The fact you keep peadling this trade show you have zero knowledge of the cap and how it effects the future of this team going forward.

Come quote me on it next Thursday when he's not a Boston Celtic.

Bro you're on a Celtics message board. But I'm sure you can find Grindr with both hands. If you look hard enough.

Oh no, you guys challenged each other's 15 year old senses of masculinity, what will happen next brah??

What could be more humiliating than not being a man?

Woj seems to think Butler to the C's is a possibility..

Who could compete with paragons of humanity like Josh Duggar, Billy Baldwin and Carson Daly

[BRUNiNHO91]

Brad needs to be extra nice with Paul George. That might be our guy right there..

Not sure what it would take..I assume Bradley, Rozier, both Bkn picks and fillers would be enough? Maybe getting back Monta on the deal also? Or Cj Miles?

IT/Smart
George/Monta
Crowder/Brown
Horford/Jerebko
Olynyk/Zeller

That's solid man..no telling what Brad can do with that type of firepower. Love Butler but if there's a chance PG is on the market you have to hold out for him.

[Celtics_Champs]

Oh great.

Woj on Butler.
Bulpett talking Butler and George.
George saying he Thomas gets him going.

This trade deadline just pulled me back in. I was contently out too.

[Banks2Pierce]

This trade deadline just pulled me back in. I was contently out too.

Same. I think I've talked myself into some sort of trade involving '17 BKN for Butler if not much else has to be added. The Bulls seeming to want Jahlil could be leveraged.
