did someone say something about a guard with length and wingspan that has 2-way potential...

That was a slick move.

Sometimes you have to play a little defense

Kawhi?

Or some combo of Garland and CJ?

I might have given up the better player down the road but I don't have time to wait for rookies to develop as of right now :lol:

It was a win-win for both sides, I think. Part of the Celtics retool is being opportunistic about acquiring long-term talent; Jase is only 19 and has the higher ceiling. But Rollins will probably be more productive in 25-26, still has upside, and is a dollar. So I had to think about it.

I also have your 2026 1st so I'm basically shooting myself in the foot anytime I help you win this year. :lol:

If Rollins is playing significant minutes for me this year something went terribly wrong :lol:

I do like the flex as being an over the cap team as a guy locked in to a $1 contract...if he doesn't work out there is no cap impact.

I wonder if Jase cracks the rotation for ORL this year. Its pretty crowded but he is very talented. So it might be a g-league year for him which isn't a bad thing but you are certainly in more of a position to take the longer higher upside plays.

When warranted.

I offered. The Davis move yesterday forced my hand. HS got a great deal.

Did you know that CJ McCollum has the longest streak of 20+ ppg seasons without an all star berth? 12 straight!!!

I figured some of the dominos had something to do with it...only so many players that are going to be at the top end you don't know how desperate some teams will be.

Makes sense for HS and now you all but lock SGA back in LA.

Yup.

In a perfect world, I would have been more active shopping KAT this summer... but I've had a lot of fun this summer so give and take there. I had also been hoping to flip Kuminga but he basically has no market thanks to the Warriors management of that situation.
