Celtics will pick him up.


I actually really liked him in last years draft.

He’s got three level scoring skills.

BOS: Mann for Simons, Niang, Tillman
MIL: Simons, Tillman for Kuzma, 2026 and 2028 1st round pick swap rights (after the existing swaps)
BKN: Kuzma, Niang, 2026 & 2028 swap rights for Mann.

BOS might actually need to kick in a 2nd or two as well which wouldn't be as hilarious.

Then flip Mann for Vandy and Milton, lol.


OK, I'm stepping away from the trade machine and heading outside. 8-)

Sign Horford, Lillard, Reeves, waive Davison, Walsh and trade Niang for cap space. Call it an offseason.

O k, this is nothing more than a shout out to a kid I met..Johnathan Pierre, who graduated a local HS and eventually went to Memphis and then Belmont University..was hoping he would get drafted but did not. But ended up signing with Washington..

Something like this, to build a balanced roster. Despite what happens with Al and Dame, Reeves fits the roster better than Walsh and Davison.

Sounds like a good idea. And even more importantly, I hope brad does it because I am getting bored out of my mind.. :nod:

Yeah, the moves so far have been... not satisfying. My brain wants to grok some logic where it looks like we have an actual roster to put on the floor. Doesn't have to be perfect, just make sense.

I think this will be a 2-part series.

Brad makes half the roster moves now then makes the final moves in February.

If Cs are good then bolster the roster.

But if the Cs are a mess by trade deadline, make moves for a soft tank.

Beal and Dame? That's $100M worth of reclamation projects. I am INTO it.
The most charitable interpretation is that it's ethnic cleansing and massive war crimes.

Was there any doubt about that?

If we're punting a season during the prime years of Tatum/Brown/White, it's *definitely* only 1 season and not more..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I did too but now we’ve seen even more definitive evidence that teams can’t get away from that archetype of slight one-way two guards fast enough

Just announce the Simons trade already. Like the player. It sucks but the math don't math right with him here. Simply can't afford to keep him. We're not pyaing 160+M to 4 guys after next season. They want to get under the luxury tax if possible. He blocks younger players from the development minutes they need in what will be a development season. PP is likely the longterm starter moving forward anyway. Simons for John Collins might make some sense from a roster balance standpoint.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

That's what I proposed earlier.

If big man is really a need, Vooch is the simple solution.

Inline poll: Vuc or Kuz if you had to take one. Neither is not an option in this scenario. Nor is “anyone else”. Just pick one.

Like choosing between death by gunshot or by poisoning. I'll take gunshot (Vucevic in this case).
