2025 Offseason Trade and Free Agency Thread (Wow this is fun!)

[phincsfan]

Lets just keep this fresh since only one person has responded to it.

To be honest the mods can just check the IPs and cross reference them. Easiest way to prove or disprove the theory.

Errmm hey guys I don't really know what's going on here but let me know if I should moderate something or something.

I guess the back and forth 5 pages ago was ok. I try playing inspector Clouseau and it becomes an issue.

I'm not mad at you haha. I've been spending most of my RGM energy modding the GB lately and haven't been paying close attention over here if I'm being honest. I hadn't seen any of the back and forth until now and just wanted to express my confusion and offer any assistance lol.

Eh read the stuff from last night. Random poster came on here as a Celtic fan and was engaging a bunch of us. I personally apologize for my behavior regarding the issue. But essentially he thinks that the poster in question was someone’s burner account.

Pretty sure using your home computer and using your cell will have different ip's.

As for Mods

I didn’t even know people had more than one account until I became a mod IIRC. It literally never crossed my mind to have one. I still have one account. The only time I used a second account on a site was because I couldn’t remember the info to the first account and YouTube. If they didn’t invent a way to keep passwords, I probably would have lost this account long ago. Maybe it’s like phone numbers, I lost the ability to remember after I didn’t need to anymore.

I didn’t know you could check IPs as a mod either, if it’s possible, I’m today’s year old finding out. I knew the folks running things could, didn’t know we could as mods. Then again, I let the pros handle most mod duties, I don’t know ish. Very thankful for the Parls of the world.


With that said, if people want to and 1 their takes, let them, it’s not hurting me. I don’t need an and1, because my mind already agrees with me, that’s all I need.

I will say, I like responses way more than and 1s anyway, I’m a talker, I want to discuss my thoughts with folk even if it’s them saying my thoughts are terrible.

People do. I’m not denying that. It’s just a numbers game. You have to assume that CelticsThug Boston Couch GM and Banners are posting on here under different names.

This seems about right. Hauser should be the #1 piece traded. He’s a luxury that the team doesn’t need. He’s great to have but not essential. I’d move him over KP Jrue etc…

But also realizing that if your goal is to get under you need to also move Jrue or KP. Unless of course maybe you could get KP to re-sign at such a deal where you take a hit for a year then get under and run it back sans Hauser which I can’t see happening but Mike Zarren is really really good at this stuff.

The counterpoint to this view is in this cba, if you're going to pay $~140M to the top 3 players on your roster then rotational players making 10M become very valuable

Sure but isn’t it costing with the taxes and everything something absurd to keep Hauser? Baylor is a fraction of the price and can get the minutes.

Not specifically Hauser. It's the overall team salary that is getting taxed. The Cs are paying the same absurd tax x3 for each of Holiday and porzingus. Baylor is a fraction of Holiday's contract too.

Over 30 years ago, a woman pointed out that "two" people posting on Prodigy were really the same. Even though she and I didn't get along in the forum we shared, I PMed/emailed her with the theory that this might be a symptom of mental illness, in the form of the then newly popular Multiple Personality Disorder (later renamed to D.I.I.D.).

And that's how I met my future wife!

Future wife ? It's been 30 years what are you waiting for

Public service announcement: I've just checked IP addresses on basically all the posters partaking in this minor skirmish and I found no matches to other accounts. I will keep an eye on the situation, but if someone is being naughty with duplicate accounts, there's no evidence of that at this time.

With that said, let's all please get the thread back on topic and stop with the other stuff. Feel free to report any posters you feel are violating posting guidelines, or send me or another mod a PM about it. But for the purposes of this thread let's move on and get back to talking about Celtics trades and free agency. Please and thank you!

Sure but you can't discount the success Phoenix had with him. What an epic run.

More than I would have given up. Miami bridesmaids again

[djFan71]

Feels about right. The 5 2nds part is surprising instead of one PHO pick back. Pretty fair for all. Booker and Green fit might be a tad awkward.

[Celtics_Champs]

Why are people still sending so much for Durant?

[playa-hater]

Throw in 28 with k p and maybe there's a chance.
