Trade/Free Agency Thread, pt 5, 2023-24 – (6PM [ET], Fri, June 30)

[JaMarco]

Celts are done making major changes.

All that's missing is giving JB his extension and the Cs will be officially running it back and the only difference is Smart got swapped for KP.

The only other big move I would look to do is a Williams trade.

Grant or Rob?

Rob

[exculpatory]

Brown has very poor basketball sense. It's been that way since he arrived. I don't expect that to ever change. To have 35% of your cap tied up in such a player will not end well.

Pisses me off we are keeping this mother **** around at the cost of a king’s ransom.

****!

I'm not going to be as vile as he's a good person, solid player and I appreciate his decent trajectory these past couple years.

Just not a 35% of your cap sort of player, we have one of those already. If this is what happens it feels like it's going to be a Wizards sort of death blow to the decent momentum of the franchise which we will never recover from.

As I have posted countless times:
Has some elite offensive skills.
No basketball sense.
TOV machine.
Selfish player.
Does not make others better.
Not within light years of 60 million per year player for 5 years.
GET RID OF HIM NOW OR REGRET IT A LONG TIME.

AND…

Until he declares clearly & repeatedly on his ‘platform’ otherwise, he is a mother **** ignorant anti-Semite.
That deserves worse than vile.
That is not a ‘good’ person.

I offer Brown to Cleveland for Garland and then look to move Brogdon for a 3/4 type.

Too big of a change.

Celts lose continuity with that move.

Don’t care. Continuity hasn’t won dick.

Garland at pg
White at sg
Tatum at sf
Kristaps at pf
Rob/al at center

I would too, but I don't think the Cavs would pick up the phone.

If they wanna keep Mitchell around they might

I know they’re buds but I don’t think Mitchell and Jaylen make much sense on the same team.

Philly allegedly asked for Allen, mobely and a 1st for harris

They have absolutely nothing on the wing. Let’s Mitchell have the ball more too. Maybe I’m way off on the value who knows

[Fierce1]

You think so? Stay tuned next two weeks.

The Smart trade already made a big impact on the team.

Making more changes just makes it worse.

Why make more trades when the Cs are already more balanced.

Cs definitely have enough Guards and Centers now.

White is an adequate replacement to Smart.

Under Joe, Tatum will still play a lot of Point Forward.

If the concern is another wing, it's time Hauser steps up.

You have a lot of faith in Prichard and Brogdon’s health. Celtics are very thin in the backcourt and at forward after they likely lose Grant.

Not saying the Cs don't do anything, what I'm saying is the Cs are not making major changes anymore.

Losing Grant means the Cs will have the 5m MLE.

Cs can use that 5m MLE for another guard.

If Cs give JB that extension then the Celts are all for continuity.

And Dick was drafted by Toronto.

Cs better off keeping Rob, for now.

Perfect! Want as many other teams as possible to offer bad trades so suddenly our trade offers don’t look so bad

[zoyathedestroya]

Read on Twitter

Knicks did really well grabbing Hart. Exact type of guy Cs need now.

Wait a second that haul for Tobias Harris??

Meh, I doubt if he's an anti semite-- just a young man who did not take the time properly to investigate the people with whom he was associating and too proud for a public mea culpa.

I agree with the rest, though.

I'm having a difficult time understanding how we soak up minutes in the regular season at PF and C.

My guess is we sign some vets but even then the pool is so thin. Feel like we are praying Rob and Zinger play over 70 games each this season which seems very unlikely.

I’d trade him before giving him the extension if it made the Celtics better

Cs can still make moves.

Just have to wait for July 1.

That's the problem, there's no JB trade out there that makes the Celtics better.
