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

It wasn't just a pick, it was Kevin Knox, 2nd round pick, and someone's draft rights.
Yeah I saw, still think its an easily beatable offer

Dunn and Fontecchio goes in the TPE.
Queta gets converted.
No need to give up Walsh.
It could end up becoming like what happened to the Celtics trading Joe Johnson.

Walsh and a 1st. Yeah that beats it but I wouldn’t do that. Fontecchio is not that good.

And the TPE alive too. Olynyk for players and say, Lonnie Walker for TPE, + a buyout later to fill out the roster is OK. Question is about replacing PP if he goes.

Yeah, that actually works. https://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/8765899
I haven't kept up at all with Dunn. I suppose we get a better defender, worse shooter, more experienced than PP. I'd be fine with this trade, from a 2024 contending perspective.
Maybe with TPE can round out the roster with Walker or Kispert and sign Queta to reg contract
Bench: Horford, Olynyk, Hauser, Walker (Kispert), Dunn

Pros
-Dude is a bucket. Averaging 23 points per 36 mins which is *really* good, it would put him tied for 3rd on the Celtics (with KP), only behind Tatum and Brown
-Shooting like 45% from 3 this season. But to be fair, that's a small sample size of games. He is a good shooter, but not *that* good of a shooter
-He's quick, athletic, shows flashes of driving to the basket and playing with some good energy
-Could give us a nice jolt of offense off the bench
-Also some flashes of nice passing..especially when he drives and the defense collapses - he's able to make some slick dishes to the open man
Cons
-Is currently out with a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury 2 games ago..and he sat out their last game with the injury...he was sidelined for 17 games earlier this season with the same injury
-Haven't seen enough film to validate this, but rumor has it he's bad on defense. So that *could* make him unplayable in the playoffs, if he's just gonna get hunted out there..
Also, as I mentioned before..you look at the 8 guys Brad has traded for since becoming POBO..and all 8 were between age 27-35..and none of them were half season rentals. Walker is only 25..and is on an expiring contract..so not sure how realistic it is that we would trade for him.
