Would have thought the Celtics would have aimed higher, but he's fine as a bit part regular season guy for sure.

RealGM: Please find a Center for OKC

Presti: Gonna trade my only big and keep playing small ball.

A little surprising I think as the price is nothing special. OKC is facing (still) a roster crunch since only Bazley was set to be a FA. I'm hoping they did this as a favor to get Moose to a contender or because there's an imminent deal they needed a spot for.

Feels like a 2:59 move. Not so impressed, but great asset management for OKC.

Clipper legend Muscala

Certainly gives Boston a different look as neither Williams or Kornet can shoot 3's.

That being said, is he much better than the mishmash of Kornet and Blake Griffin? Ehhh.

Not that surprised tbh even if I thought he would stay a bit more. Didn't see Muscala becoming a long term project like Kenrich.

It was most likely a favor to send him to a place he likes because the offer isn't great.

As long as this isn’t the Houston second I like this for Boston. Houston second would be an overpay

(Hopefully) this means Boston isn't done and wanted this one wrapped up early.

I like Muscala well enough, basically free, why not.

I was just looking at the pick page and hoping it was that one

Sly move to continue to lower the average age. I think maybe the youngest team in league history now?

Still pick up Noel after a buyout?

Okc now can take back a full 10 mil into their TPE and not send any money out? Maybe?

But yeah, it’s a win/win even if it won’t get 10 pages.

Fills a niche. Curious which seconds, if they are real or fake. Also, is this capable to be done straight up or did this use the TPE?

And do any of the online trade sites work accurately anymore?

TPE from what I saw. Not sure on 2nds.

As for my take ... I hate JJ. But this is a solid move for value.

Man, I really hope they get a big man somewhere here.
