BOS-DAL-LAC Trade 

Post#1 » by rambo_ortega » Tue Jun 17, 2025 8:31 am

Celtics Get:
PJ Washington
Caleb Martin


They unload Jrue’s contract for some much needed help in the frontline and depth for a lower salary

PP/White/JB/JT/KP
Davidson/Martin/Hauser/PJ/Al

Mavericks Get:
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Derrick Jones Jr.


They balance out their roster with this trade

Kyrie/Klay/Flagg/AD/Lively
Hardy/Bogdan/Marshall/DJJ/Gafford

Clippers Get:
Jrue Holiday

Clips get Jrue who would be perfect alongside Kawhi and Harden

Harden/Jrue/Powell/Kawhi/Zubac

0 interest in this from Mavs POV, Bogdan is nice to have with Klay on roster, and while DJJ was great, not at the price of PJ who was more crucial and impactful.
While I don't assign positive value to Martin, Nico clearly did and went into an argument with Tim Cato over him in the press conference.

I like DJJ. Bogdan is a solid rotation shooter and Dallas needs shooting. And maybe if they moved Klay in a PG deal, I'd have more interest in visiting this, but its hard to give up PJ for a backup forward and a currently redundant guard as we stand now.

Not great for Boston. You get PJW as a bandaid solution at 4 for 25-26 then he's an UFA as an expensive backup. No guarantee Boston can resign him to be a backup and if they do, it'll be, I'm guessing, for at least 15% of the cap. Boston can't just cut salary. They need to acquire tradeable assets to reload.

From a Celtics POV I’d deal directly with the Clippers and cut out the MAVs here.
I like that DJJ is locked up and can be a good rotation guy long term.

Dallas needs to send out Powell in order to be able to stay under the matching requirements.

I feel like PJ should be worth more than Jrue, so Boston owes value here? And then Dallas probably prefers Jrue over the guys they end up with.

And I kind of think LAC just cuts out Boston here if Dallas did do the trade. Stay affordable, PJ can play with Leonard, offers more when Leonard isn’t available.. Maintains their flexibility, gets a bit younger..

But either way, I think some team gets cut out?

It's been floated before with these 3 teams with Powell to DAL

LAC: Jrue for Powell, Brown, Eubanks
DAL: Powell, Brown, Eubanks for Gafford, Klay
BOS: Jrue for Gafford, Klay

LAC - I've never quite got why they want to move Powell, but I've seen it before and they do improve their D.
DAL - get scoring / offload Klay.
BOS - would move Gafford to say ATL and end up saving half of Jrue's money
