One deal I would love to see is Anfernee Simons to the Nets for one of their picks in the 20s.

Are the KP and Jrue trades official yet? Are those separate trades or folded into each other via a multi-team deal?

This Shams' "Celtics' phones are ringing off the hook" spiel is starting to sound almost like paid advertising.


'Feverishly'

I guess we can't blame the coordinated hyperbole, it's mutually beneficial for all involved.

I've always wondered whether these are for us simple people or is there really some sort of higher level public game between front offices.

I find the latter hard to believe.

Like I said earlier it’s pretty safe to assume it’s at least Ime calling and texting like he’s chasing some front office tail.

Already reported he was the one spearheading the Durant acquisition.

Fold it into the combined Jrue/KP deal, and get 22 back. And another big TPE for the pile!

Does someone answering the phone or just hang up as a if it is a spam call?

I'll trade Brown and/or White only for Giannis, Wemby, Jokic, Hali, Cade, Banchero, Jalen Williams + picks

No trade for other players + picks

How would that work? They have the cap space? I am not opposed, since jettisoning g the salary would work wonders for the team.

That would get them under the luxury tax. Amazing if they could do it.

This post = -25

We are in a forum discussing basketball. Why would you post this comment.

Time on my hands
Since you been away Celts
I ain't got no plans
No no no no

And the sound of the rain
Against my window pane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, Celts

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Cause you ain't around Celtics
My whole world's upside down

Sleep don’t come easy…

I would tend to think so. Team Brad doesn’t seem to use the media. Most of their deals have been out of nowhere.

My memory isn't as good as it used to be but this has to be the least amount of Trade rumors for the entire league as I can remember..

Not even a rumor of a **** rumor..

Of course we have to give time to whoever he picks, I hope it’s not long. Tonight may be the start of Drafter Brad. Great at trades, let’s see the greatness in drafting!

Come on Brad, I believe in you! I was upset when Smart was traded, but I believed in you. Nothing you have done has made me waiver, but we eventually need draft picks to hit! Let’s go!!!!


Me too, hopefully in the lottery!

Beal has a no-trade clause and would need to agree. Maybe he does? Not sure why though
