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

[The Corey's]

Just a quick caveat to the "room to sign Al and Luke" thing - that actually still assumes a Hauser trade. If you keep him, you can barely offer the min to one of Al/Luke.

Why is horford coming back to this team?

What purpose does that serve him?

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Can't say Stevens won this trade, but Apron Space did...


Wondering if Hauser and 28 gets you into the Lottery for Mr. J? Or is White being sacrificed?

[Gant]

BobbyMarks: Brooklyn now has 1/6 of the picks in the first round:

8
19
22
26
27

Me: and 36

Trade Kornet too

[JR Hawks]

Woof. This was not a good trade for Brad.

[playa-hater]

Well, I thought we did well in the Jrue trade. The KP one is... underwhelming. But we're under the second apron, so yay, I guess. The on court product next year is likely to be pretty rough. Someone mentioned we might still be a 50 win team. Not seeing it.

Center position is currently fugly.

Don’t worry we have enough cap to resign Luke and a 40 year old Al Horford to play the 5 all season.

Sorry, I really **** hate this trade.

At this point, and after seeing OKC and Indiana, I want no part of Kornet and Al.. Draft a 7 fter with Queta and play young guys already.

[The Corey's]

Nice job Brad.

This saves Boston a lot of money and gives them a lot of flexibility.

I would have traded KP for a bag of doritos. And I don't like chips.

I loved watch KP gave Boston in the regular season. Come playoff time, he turned into one of my least favorite Celtic players ever.

What flexibility? What assets do we have to trade and get better?

What cap space do we have to sign anyone of any significance?

Wait on the flexibility. Brad isn't done.

That's what I'm asking you. You said it gives them flexibility. How?

You have to trade something to get something. We have nothing to trade.

We also have no cap to sign anyone.

Called this guy in our draft thread! I knew he was a Brad Stevens kind of player.

Idk..Jakucionis scares me a bit. For a PG, his handle is pretty weak..turns the ball over a ton. Streaky shooter, bad defender, subpar athleticism.

He's worth a 1st round pick somewhere in the 15-30 range but I wouldn't reach too high for him..

He will fit right in with JB then... that is if he's not on his way out too.

Seriously worried it’s like when we lost Al allover again.

Rolling out some **** garbage big men because the team don’t value them.

SMH.

[Marley2Hendrix]

Are we done now?

Not yet

[redslastlaugh]

Now that we're under the apron, I can't see a Derrick or JB trade. For age reasons, I'd think trading White is more likely than trading Brown but I am not expecting either.

Have you heard something otherwise, LBF??

D White turns 31 in July and has probably peaked. His value to a contender or young team on cusp of making playoff noise & looking for stability/experience could be surprising. I’m all for stockpiling picks and future swaps as long as there are guaranteed top 5’s

San Antonio sitting there w #2 and need a wing to pair w Wemby and Fox @ PG. Boston and SA have had successful trades...#2 and some other things for jaylen?

[BigTrade92]

Hate the Porzingis return, but it is what it is with the apron.

Just please don’t force me to watch Georges Niang in a Celtics uniform Brad.

Now time to dump Hauser and Tillman.

[Scarletfire81]

White or Jaylen will only be traded if there is an over the top offer. Which I actually think is possible…

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Just a quick caveat to the "room to sign Al and Luke" thing - that actually still assumes a Hauser trade. If you keep him, you can barely offer the min to one of Al/Luke.

Why is horford coming back to this team?

What purpose does that serve him?

He was rumoured to be going to the Knicks earlier...

[TSmith0197]

We paid a lot for those two guys, they did bring in a chip but we got .25 cents in the dollar returns

Actually we got KP and a 1st for Smart so we were the one that made out in that trade. That 1st if you recall was the pick used to get Jrue.

IDK, I can see it either way. He left before, and it sucked. He came back and loved life. Kids, family are settled, etc. If he wants to play 2 more years, get a deal with a player option, see how JT and things look next summer.

Or, he says screw it I'm too old for this **** and bounces this summer. Either could happen.

I want more than what the grizzlies got for bane if you're trading white.

[SparringPartner]

These two trades are a strong indicator we won’t be sniffing the finals anytime soon.

I love how everyone thinks that JT/JB alone gets you a ring. Great, we’re under the second apron, now what for the next five years. Back to the Brad Stevens coaching era of overachieving to get slaughtered in the 2nd & 3rd round. **** me

Don’t worry we got Georges **** Niang!!!

[Marley2Hendrix]

Regarding the Center Position - I will note Mark Blount is a YOUNG 49 years old.

I'm fully in on Stevens. Next year is going to be a blast, and, as Gant noted, being under the apron is enormous for opening up trade possibilities. Giddy-up, y'all!
