Buyout/Free Agent Thread, 2023-24

My ideal pickup still is Corey Kispert. Can drive, shoot, averaging double digits off the bench, and decent size. I think if you can add him to our team without trading any rotation players, we'd be golden. Ideally you clear a couple roster spots with some cheap end of bench guys that aren't playing and take him into the TPE.

Svi, Banton, 2024 1st, a second or two for Kispert into the TPE. Sign Queta to the big squad. Grab a backup guard on the buyout market if a worthwhile one becomes available. If not, have Jrue, D White, Pritchard (and Brown) to soak up guard minutes.

... I prefer this to the option where we trade our Bench for Utah's.

I mean, we could have easily topped that offer so I guess we weren't that interested

I guess Frappuccino does suck as much as I think he does.

POBO Stevens hunting for bigger fish. Not called Blockbuster Brad for nothing.

Ok, let's just trade everyone on our bench except Horford for these 3 guys.

A bench of Horford, Olynyk, Fontecchio and Dunn sounds good to me!

Boston trades: Pritchard, Stevens, Banton, Mykhailiuk, Walsh, picks
Utah trades: Olynyk, Dunn, Fontecchio

Sign me up!

This is where there will be a hold up.

Danny Ainge "Gives us 3 first rd picks"

Austin Ainge "OK Dad, we'll do"

Brad Stevens SLAPPP "I told you Austin, never pick up the phone again" , "back to your cubicle"

More I think about it the less the value gap is between those three guys and PP/Walsh is. Like if they are throwing in the 24 first I’d want 2nds back (but Utah doesn’t have any).
Edit: never mind hadn’t caught up to the thread. But does fit the sentiment.

Yup, I'd be onboard with this too.

It wasn't just a pick, it was Kevin Knox, 2nd round pick, and someone's draft rights.

Ainge trading players and not taking any back keeps the 4 for 1 Kelly Olynyk trade to the Celtics alive!

Wizards second and Knox plus rights to some guy. Yes we could have beat it, but I don’t think we wanted to.
