Buyout/Free Agent Thread, 2023-24

What exactly happened to Tillman’s finishing this year? Went from mediocre to basement, not sure if that’s a team thing or individual performance or…

He's not a shot creator. Memphis is really bad this year. Not the best combo. I'd imagine his finishing numbers will improve in Boston by osmosis. Defensively, he's tough as nails. He will pick up on the schemes quickly.

Yeah, just imagining him in Kornet's role in the pick and roll and he'll be fine, especially with the spacing Boston provides vs Memphis. I'm not worried about his efficiency and he is a stouter defender then Kornet especially for big bigs.

I'd also do something like Svi & 2nd rd pick for Dunn.

I am expecting Brad Stevens to do something like this. Celtics could do a trade like this after a Pritchard trade for a wing making more than the $6.2 TPE or Pritchard could stay and Celtics use the TPE for a wing.

I'm expecting the Celtics to acquire one or two players today depending on who they send out.

I think I'd be fine with giving up 2 FRPs for Caruso. The next 2 years are win NOW and that move could really put us (even more) over the top. Brad would probably somehow find a way to recoup one of those anyway haha

Sources say the Dallas Mavericks are interested in literally any human basketball player, as long as they can get Grant Williams outta here.

A little sad how this guy fall apart - have to assume it's his own doing though.

How will the Mavs survive without Grant's grit and incessant whining to the refs?

May not be fair but I blame Kyrie for everything that goes wrong in his presence.

Luka will just have to pick up the slack.

I'm not entirely sold on what it will take to get Caruso, as the price is high. However, it's probably the best win now move we're going to see before the deadline.

PP, Banton, Svi + picks works in the checker: https://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/8766583

So it's basically PP and future assets for Caruso. Or in other words, a defensive/experience upgrade within our top 8 players.

Gotta admit KP/JT/JB/DW/JH/AH/AC/SH/XT looks like the team to beat. Add Brissett and Kornet and that rounds out the top ten.

Also can move Queta to regular contract with the open spot. Or maybe Walsh. It would be good for the rookie to get more time with the club even if he isn't playing. OTOH, having at least one more spot open for vet buy out is the wise choice.

Barring a surprise, sounds like Boston is done making moves before today’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline. League personnel are still waiting to see what defensive upgrade(s) come for Milwaukee, after the Bucks may have cast the widest net of any buyer in the NBA these past few weeks.
