(should be a 1-week board ban, IMO).

IND lost Turner but just waived Wiseman...I guess he's just cooked physically. Bummer. Maybe one failed stop earlier in his career, I'd still consider a possible rehab project but this is probably it for him.

I still think Bamba on a vet min, limited as he is, might fit better than some others here - as a reserve Center with potential for occasional big shooting nights.

Just curious if Orlando would be willing to part with Black if it meant moving Isaac at the same time?

IE: Anfernee Simons (expiring) for Black and Isaac?

Feel like it works for both team, but obviously I am a celtics homer...so wanted Orlando fans opinion.

Probably not. We're having a tough time defending guards, and we'd be giving up a good defensive guard for a bad one.

Yes on shopping Black/Isaac together, but not for Simons.

Isaac is a trade chip because of his non-guaranteed contract. Black is in our top 6 best players, and he's still at an age to improve.

Trade WCJ and JI if we aren't .500 by the deadline.

Does anyone remember a partially guaranteed deal being waived? If the guy isn't actually out for the year, etc...there's always such a concern for pissing off agents. In the NFL, guys without full guarantees get cut all the time.

AB's early games this season has been a pleasant surprise. Hope he keeps it up!

I think he's played poorly, but it mostly looks like him and the team aren't in sync yet.

Suggs was 7 months older than AB in his 3rd season, and after his first 7 games that season, he was shooting 24% from 3. People here were saying he was a complete bust. Suggs ended up shooting 397 on high volume that season.

Black has the tools he just mentally has to focus, and forget about mistakes. I remember Suggs going 1-10 at Phoenix in his 3rd season and then turned around and shot 25-43 from 3 in his next 5 games.

He's been really bad in certain areas.

His TS% gains have been wiped out by a massive spike in turnovers. Not defending at an elite level (yet) either.

I would get the best possible bench wing for Jonathan Isaac and Anthony Black. Those two are taking up 20mil plus. Jett has no value. Ive accepted we wasted that lottery pick. AB has to go. He will be a good defending wing forward on another team. He is an awful fit on this team and time has run out.

[eyriq]

In JI and Jett we've got $20.5M out of the rotation. Jett is effectively an expiring and JI has $8M guaranteed remaining after this season.

What are the team needs? Cap flexibility might be more valuable than any role upgrades.
