I get a tad concerned only having one real back up wing in SH. I wanna continue developing Jordan but I feel Javonte gives us just a little bit more as we go for our title defense. Oshae I actually take back, would rather just keep JW.

Either way, probably just grasping at straws here

2nd Round Picks are being used as really good capital, huh?

What players from around The League would you guys like to see in Boston? I'm assuming there's still a lot of enthusiasm to reunite Pritchard and Bol Bol.

New trade rules put a real damper on fake trade proposals. Damn you Adam Silver

while I like both players, neither would get much of a chance to make any kind of difference.

I would like to trade Jrue for Andrew Wiggins. Can’t do a 1/1 trade because of CBA. Jrue needs to go to a third team and GSW need to take back less salary. Thats up to Brad to figure out. Would give the Celtics a younger, longer defender who shoots the 3 better this year. Jrue shoots better than Wiggins at the rim this year but I think that’s largely due to context. This trade would also let Celts run a Pritch White Wiggins Brown Tatum lineup. I would put a pick, probably two into the deal to make it happen.

Maybe next season, but the core will not be touched this season.

Why not? IMHO Stevens has to shake this team up. I see way too much complacency. If a trade isn't available, I'd give serious thought to firing Mazulla and putting Sam Cassell in charge.

Reason has nothing to do with basketball.

Brad will not want to be the guy that blew up a championship team, in the middle of the season, when the team is going for a repeat.

Brad will make a move, but it will not be any of the top 9.

No better time to come up with major fake trade proposals than now. Anything goes. Let your heart out. This is a safe space. Who do you really want to trade away?

Maybe one of the dumbest rotation players in the league. Dunno what Suns were thinking.

Doesn't really matter because whatever potential player Brad Stevens acquires Mazzulla wouldn't play him anyways.

I think if it's a guy like Coffey, Joe will play him at the expense of Sam.

Coffey is starter material.

If Cs move on from Jrue after the season, Coffey would be a good replacement.

As long as they are healthy, Mazzulla is going with his Top 9 guys: Tatum, Brown, White, Horford, Holiday, Porzingis, Pritchard, Hauser and Kornet and that's it. In the playoffs that will drop to Top 8 (minus Kornet). Have you not been watching?
