Yeah but my point was we still have avenues to improve in the offseason even if we don't use the TPE.

Yeah. We can always Trade the 2nd Best Player, on the Best Team.

I give the Celtics deadline an A --> got an excellent defensive big (who is young, and might possibly stay for cheap) for peanuts

Moves still happening. Dougie Buckets back to Indy.

Still time for something small to happen with Brad.

TPE's aren't something that you can use "use". It's not that simple or easy.

It's not like grabbing a carton of milk off the shelf at a grocery store and going on your merry way.

It takes 2 teams to make a trade. Brad can't just "use" the TPE. He needs a second team that will actually be willing to agree to the trade..a GM who is willing to give us a good player in exchange for the crappy assets that we have to offer. Teams aren't lining up to trade for Svi or Banton. Teams don't want our 2nd round picks. Teams don't want our late 1st round picks..and anyone who actually fits into the TPE likely isn't someone who is good enough to trade a 1st round pick for..

Teams aren't incentivized to help make the best team in the league even better.

And most TPE's go unused..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Feel like we'd have a "Boston is not expected to make any moves before the deadline" tweet by now if Brad wasn't still working the phones.
