Negotiating with just 1 team is always best when trying to move a HOF player :lol:

I’d overpay to get Cam Johnson lol, he’s a PERFECT fit here.

I think he's the best guy they'll move.

Grant Williams for Cam. Nets need a lovable goofball to lighten up the atmosphere.

That's not a bad landing spot after all of that.

Yeah. Overreaction by me. I just don't like Simmons as a player. Both teams got what they wanted out of the Suns/Nets deal. Nets have 1 more move before they start their rebuild. Move Simmons.

But Simmons has negative trade value right now. Why would they give up assets to move him when they’re not gonna contend the next two years?

Simmons is always going to have negative trade value on that contract. Not moving him prolongs the rebuild.

But then we'd need a Grant Williams type of player. Cam looks a little small to defend bigs like Grant can for periods of time.

Don't think he's getting moved, Nets will just pay him I think

Grant Williams won me back a little last night. His shooting and ball movement was top notch last night. Played good defense too.

How does it prolong the rebuild?

We got Kornet and we can also count on Jaylen to improve his Settlers of Katan and Magic the Gathering game this coming off season.

Which is why I always hated that the Celtics needed to give up Brown AND White AND picks

Is Michael Scotto same level of insider as Jake Fischer or nah?

The Boston Celtics discussed several different concepts, which included forward Danilo Gallinari, guard Payton Pritchard, and draft pick compensation, HoopsHype has learned. Poeltl represented a potential injury insurance policy for Robert Williams in the playoffs, and it’s worth monitoring whether Boston will target another center before the trade deadline or in the buyout market.

Can see a deal for either Olynyk or Jaylen Smith today.

Grant probably gets dealt in the offseason.

I thought the KD stuff was a little too quiet but guessing that’s just where he wanted to go.

How does it prolong the rebuild?

Simmons is taking up $40 million annually that could be better put to use.

Speaks to how much value Jaylen Brown has around the league. The way people talk about him, the Nets should've given us picks to trade KD for Jaylen. In real life, not so much.

If they come away with Mo Bamba, Cory Joseph, and JRich after the dust settles I’ll be happy. If you can’t hit a home run hit singles.

I predict the Celtics will end up with Jalen Smith/Mo Bamba and it won't move the needle much.
