Bojan traded to the Knicks as well.

Very nice NY!

The Knicks are going to be a tough out for anyone in the playoffs.

Brad Steven’s and owners will regret this day. We had the chance to upgrade our bench. We won’t win the finals with our current bench

I'm still hoping Brad can snag Kris Dunn. I think he might come with early bird rights as well, so there's a chance he's not just expiring (similar to Tillman). Although he might have played his way to a better contract than that so far this year.

If Knicks are not including any other assets, I'd say this is a bit lopsided.

Maybe Detroit is really high on Grimes? They've needed someone like him to compliment their current core.

Give Detroit credit, they are shaking things up today.

I think a backup wing for a couple of 2nd round picks might be doable today.

1) We did upgrade the bench yesterday

2) There is still 2.5 hours and a bunch of assets we can use to further upgrade it

It wasn't very long ago that Milwaukee and Philly were locks for the two and three seeds. New York, Cleveland, and Embiid's injury have changed things fast.

Don't know if this is accurate.

-Hayward to OKC.
-Perhaps this means they are now more open to moving either Wiggins or Kenrich Williams. They don't need all those wings, do they?
-Looking at the past 4 games, Wiggins is getting much more playing time lately than Kenrich. Wiggins also makes less $ and is younger
-Kenrich fits in the Grant TPE
-Kenrich really seems like a good fit for Boston. He's veteran, he's signed through the 26-27 season, with the last year being a team option. Good defender, he can shoot, move the ball..good glue guy who does a little bit of everything

Do it, Brad

Just not sure a team near the top of the west standings would help out the team with the best record in the league.

OKC could use a backup big man...maybe a 3 team deal where OKC gets drummond, we get Kenrich and Chicago gets filler/picks ?

I am expecting Brad Stevens to do something like this. Celtics could do a trade like this after a Pritchard trade for a wing making more than the $6.2 TPE or Pritchard could stay and Celtics use the TPE for a wing.

I'm expecting the Celtics to acquire one or two players today depending on who they send out.

We shall see. Brad, I'm sure is being careful about not rocking the boat too much. You saw Tatum's comments about Lamar yesterday. This is a really close group with awesome chemistry.

Has the fat lady sang yet? 8-)

There's no big trade for the Celtics this year without busting up the core. Maybe one more minor move and then go to battle.

Walker, Marshall, Kispert level stuff.

You realize it takes 2 teams to make a trade, right?

Brad can't just force another team to give us a good player...other teams don't want our bench scraps or late 1st round picks.

Teams also have no incentive to help the best team in the league get even better.

Absolute agent of chaos.

What is Weaver even doing up there? They're all over the place.

Like it for the Knicks, they don’t have the top end talent to pair with Brunson but they are gonna be a tough out for anyone in the east.
