Van Gundy would pull Drummond in a rickshaw from Detroit to Boston if he could get IT/Crowder/BRK18 for him.

The city of Detroit would go bonkers. "Isaiah Thomas returns to the Palace!!"

Part 5 and no trades yet.
this is the mental masturbation thread.

McCeltic is killing it - never seen a performance like this before :-|

It's bizarre that there are Celtics fans left who aren't convinced by IT.

Are there really?

Only if we had someone who could score 30 ppg with great efficiency for a guard. Imagine if we had that player and he made less than 10% of the cap. To go even further, let's imagine that he helped lead the Celtics to contention for being the top team in the conference. If we had that player we would totally trade him for a rebounder. Finding one of the best guards in the NBA is easy, but rebounding, that's tough to get and it wins championships.

*All very green thoughts*

It's amazing how the Celtics win so many games with so many bad players yet brad isn't the runaway for coach of the year. Detroit would be adding on to an IT for Drummond swap, not the other way around

Mmmmm that BK Stacker looks good.

I'm increasingly convinced that the best time to trade is over the offseason, because we can agree to a trade in principal before using some clever ordering of roster moves to maximize the salary we can take on.

1. Draft.
2. Agree in principle to a trade for a player in the $20 million range (eg Butler, Cousins) in exchange for Bradley + Crowder/Smart/Brown + filler + pick(s). We can make any trade for a player up to $5M above our outgoing salary because we are not a taxpayer.
3. Tell Hayward and Griffin about the pending trade to convince them they would be joining a four star superteam. Get a commitment from one of them to sign for the max.
4. Renounce KO.
5. Sign player to max deal.
6. Execute the trade to bring the team above the cap.

If the 2017 pick is included in the trade, you don't renounce KO, execute the trade before the free agent signing, then sign KO long term above the cap. Either way we end up giving up cap space for the foreseeable future, but that was going to happen as soon as we re-sign IT anyway. And in fact I think we would still be eligible for non taxpayer MLE and BAE next offseason, so we could feasibly become an absurdly deep superteam if circumstances permit and the owners are willing to shell out an enormous amount of money.

Perfect bench spark plug.

Ok I'm in - Bradley for Okafor, Stauskas and LA pick.

Said Jah losing weight over the summer boded well, showed his work ethic. He wants to get better, will. Being overwhelmed and passive/indecisive can look like not caring, but it isn't.

He figures out defense and it doesn't matter if he never gets the rest. But shooting should follow. Hard to improve rebounding, but strength will help.
