Ross, Bol, and Gary Harris for Gary Trent and Otto Porter.

Celtics may still be the best team out of both leagues and they will have a much easier path than say Denver, Phoenix, or Dallas.

With Poeltl off the market, I’m looking at Dallas as a team needing a C.

How about Ross and Bamba for Bertans and Green?

OR

Powell (expiring), Bullock, and Green

Bullock is like the hub of their defense

I'd do the second option, no thanks to the 1st. Taking Bertans's contract is too much to acquire Green imo. I doubt Dallas does it though as Green and Bullock are their only wing defenders.

What defense? Dallas isn’t going to win playing great defense. They will win by out scoring their opponent.

They were a top 6 defense last season after acquiring him. NY went fromm a top 10 defense to a bad defense after trading him. I think he has too much value.

Only reason for standing pat imo is cus the vibes are so damn good. Everyone legit loves everyone on this team.

Randle showed worse body language in one quarter than our entire team all season.

I wish the Magic would pursue Bradley Beal. Always wanted him here. I don't care that he's 29. This team is in need of a veteran. He still scores in buckets, yet is unselfish and also defends. I have him in fantasy and he's a block monster. Such a low maintenance player. I don't see why the Magic wouldn't consider him a top trade target. Washington is doing nothing. They can be swayed.

It's true. We all seem to be like Stuff the orlando Magic dragon.

Except some of what we are hoarding is fools gold.

I get it though, I mentioned not wanting to move certain pieces because it could shake up what on the court seems to be good chemistry.
