Trade/Free Agency Thread, part Ocho, 2023-24

[Froob]

Brad’s probably gonna need to trade Brogdon for a smaller salary role player for us to be able to use the MLE.

Not worth doing with what is left in FA. Brogdon would be by far the best FA if he were available.

Brogdon is being massively undervalued by most of the board right now its crazy.

Latest I’ve heard is Celts still working hard behind the scenes on a Dame to Boston scenario. Not afraid of “Dame only wants Miami”. Third team is the key. JB loves Boston but is open to being moved to a few teams out there.
JB willing to sign for the bag and return but he’s playing ball about the business side and possibly moving to a new team.
Another scenario still floating around I’m told is JB traded directly to a “mystery” team for a big haul back that would net Boston multiple win now guys. No idea what that scenario consist of but now I’m f’Ing curious.

Toronto? Orlando? Chicago? Atlanta? Cleveland?

Those are the teams that seem to make sense.

This is why I come back visit realgm.

Brown for Franz Wagner, Suggs and WCJ?

[zoyathedestroya]

IF, and that is a big skeptical IF, JB is to be traded for “multiple win now guys” and not for another star, it just means he intently informed Stevens that he doesn’t plan on signing whatever offer is in front of him (kinda absurd) and is looking to be a free agent next offseason.

The Jaylen Brown Traded Away dream is still alive.

He could be looking at his long term goals for life and if he is serious about building his brand than being the main guy in another market could be a great chance. Makes more sense to take the money though. I seriously doubt he got offered the max and he declined

[JaMarco]

Has Brown been traded yet?

[Larry_Russell]

Trendon Watford would be a good pickup for the Celtics on the same Brissett and Banton deals.

He has the ability to grow into a starter

[Froob]

Give me Kelly Oubre, gives us at least one scrappy guy

[darrendaye]

Need 1/2 defender and 40-50 game 20 minute big for injury/load management.

[Memokerobi]

Why are people really worried about our depth? Considering Porz/Smart is a wash in terms of rotation players, the only change is going from Grant to Brissett. We’ll be fine

[Larry_Russell]

Once again, this offseason has been a disaster so far for the Celtics. When Brown gets the supermax, the disaster will be complete. At least they have some draft picks to rebuild after the extent of the damage becomes evident.

I agree.

In a bubble pozingas is a great add skillwise. But a huge risk.

Lost all our grit, all our salary to make trades happen, and once Brown is extended ALL cap wiggle room


Team will be 5 players and 9 role players for the next 5 or 6 years until team is spiraled into a 10 year rebuild

No one in Orlando screams win now

How many rings do Grant Williams and Marcus have?

[Bohemian]

How many ways to spell Porzingis? People are just so creative

Too much reliance on Rob defensively now. Need reinforcements available.

Yeah it's really not harder to spell than Williams or Brown.

A disaster would be losing Tatum. Smart and Grant sucks. But Porzingis is better than either.

If healhty

[chrisab123]

I feel like more people wanted Smart to stay over Jaylen Brown which is complete craziness. You also don't deal Brogdon for peanuts because you're mad about Marcus being traded.

Marcus and Grant were good role players but teams have won without them before. It can happen again. It really can.
