Caruso is an obvious target. My fear is that ALL the contenders will be bidding on him. Might not be in Celts best interest to overpay. I'm down for SBey for Brissett and two 2nds. Another under the radar guy is XTillman.

Can we just go get one of Brogdan, Olynik or Kuzma.

They all work on the trade checker.

Cs not trading any of the top 8 on the roster.

Best way to get a trade done is using the 6m Grant TPE.

Unfortunately Chicago is sitting in the last play-in spot. Starting to think they just keep him.

Convert Queta. Celtics do not have to make any move. They are lesding the league with this line up in case you all forgot.

No need to rush.

Cs have a lot of time to do that.

Bey is the deal I would make,

Under the radar, guy does what is asked of him in the same way BRisset does, just with better offense.

But I still feel like the need is a backup guard who can isolate and score all on his own when the play breaks down. Scrubb potentially would have filled that role.

Looking at bench
Shooting and size - Hauser
Shooting and passing - Pritchard
Defense - Stevens, Brissett
Shooting defense and size - Horford

Whats missing there? An iso scorer.

Saddiq Bey is an absolute sieve on defense but you do get that sweet sweet 34% three point shooting.

I am different than most of you, because I would probably trade Horford for kuzman. I've never been sold on Al as a championship player and so far the results have proved me out rather than you strong supporters.
To each their own I just have never been too much of a fan of Al over the years and I am still waiting for that championship with him aboard the team.
Not going to talk about the average Al nonsense just that I think he could be upgraded, will they do it of course? No it would make Wyc cry. And they're on this Mystical six year path to win a title. Six years is just an insane amount of time when the landscape can change overnight.

that's madness, Top 6 maybe 7 are safe..... PP has to be up for grabs, plus picks etc.....C's need to upgrade their depth at the 5 for sure and need a backup PG IMO

Just curious but who do you think we can realistically get that would be an upgrade over Kornet/Queta? That player would be someone who could play real minutes in the playoffs when we are already going to go heavy with KP/Horford.

Also what do you consider PP is he not a backup PG? So we should trade our backup PG for a big and then find another backup PG?

PP playing in crunch time over Jrue Holiday against OKC is an indication the Cs trust PP.

Cs not trading PP.

I agree, you don't trade the backup PG for a 3rd Center then find another backup PG.

Just get that 3rd Center directly.

According to betonline, the Celtics are favorites to trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic

The Boston Celtics, as presently constructed, are already the best team in the NBA. In fact, according to the latest FanDuel Betting Odds for the 2024 NBA championship, the Celtics are the favorite to win it all. Their odds to win the title are currently at +320, which is even better than that of the Denver Nuggets’. But even a stacked team has plenty of room for improvement, and with a little over a month to go before the trade deadline, the C’s may very well have another move up their sleeve.

According to the latest odds from BetOnline’s special props, the Celtics are the favorite to swing a trade for sweet-shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Atlanta Hawks. Their odds to do so are currently at +200.

Bogdanovic makes $18.7 million. I like to know how betonline thinks the Celtics will be able to swing a trade for BB :lol:

Larry_Russell · Post #357 » by **Larry_Russell** » Thu Jan 4, 2024 1:51 pm

Points Per Possession leaders is where we need to find a guy i think,

Alec Burks is currently 3rd in the league
Lonnie Walker 4 is 5th

2 guys who a deal is workable, or a buyoout is plausible, who would be great additions as the SG off the bench.

Jrue/Pritchard/Banton
White/ Above mentioned/Svi
Brown/Hauser/
Tatum/Brissett/Stevens
KP/Horford/Kornet

Wow, this is just preying on people who have no idea how trades work in the league. Would love to have him on our team but yeah there's no way

That's not really needed. Brogdon was that guy but he was too much of a ball stopper, dribbled too much, forced shots, filled our offensive flow.

Before Brogdon we had Schroder, was pretty good at getting to his spots off the dribble, pressuring the rim, collapsing the defense. But he also was a bad fit here - dribbled too much, forced shots, wasn't enough of a ball mover..looked for his own shot too much, rather than finding the open man, which killed our ball movement and offensive flow.

Plus, it's not like we play all of the bench guys at the same time. There's always at least 1 (if not 2+) starters out there with them, unless it's garbage time. It's typically Tatum in there with the bench unit - so there's your iso scorer.

Nuggets didn't have an iso scorer off their bench last season and it worked out just fine for them. Bucks in 2021 didn't have an iso scorer off their bench either..

Could we use a bench upgrade? Yes. Does it *have* to be an iso scorer? I don't think so.

I think we need an upgrade at the backup PG as well. PP is ok , but he's going to get creamed on the defensive side come playoff time.
