Official Speculation Thread (Pt. LVI - NBA Draft Edition)

[HeyIt'sMe]

Based on the return for the Celtics, they're going full on tank mode. IDK how we can be worse than them.

Not trying to win games would help.

The team with the worst record rarely wins the lotto anyways.

No agreement between Celtics and Nets on Garnett-Pierce trade is expected tonight, sources say. But talks have momentum.

[InFlames]

Explain how high McLemore's potential is.

Clearly not as high as Oladipo's, hes DWade and Jordan combined.

Love the sass.

I'm not really loving a SG selection for us. Between Afflalo and Harkless I think any addition of Oladipo or McLemore would be very marginal. I don't even know what BMac offers more than Afflalo by himself. Youth? Cost...

I want a PG....

I'm in a sassy mood tonight.

If this trade goes through, Boston will be terrible. Yeah, it'd be nice to have the best shot at No. 1 next year but as long as we're in the mix for it (top four or five), that gives us a good shot.

Also hearing that Toronto is looking to grab the No. 2 pick. Not sure who they're targeting, but Oladipo is an educated guess....

BOOM

Celtics, Nets deal has reached ownership level, league source tells Y! Jason Terry joins Pierce and Garnett in package, source says.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 32s
The Nets would send back Reggie Evans, sign-and-trade for Keith Bogans and one more minimum level player as part of package, source says.

Williams
Johnson
Pierce
Garnett.
Lopez

With Terry coming off the bench? That team could give the Heat a run. That's a helluva starting lineup.

Old though.
Still got Wallace too, right?

[TSKD000]

So, is Humphries in or out of this trade?? KG and PP are $26.8 mill and Jet is another 5.2 mill. Who else would coming back to make salaries work??? Evans and Bogans arent going to cut it...

[Magic#1]

And just saw someone else post this. Fantastic.

Johnson and Wallace must be going to BOS.

Wow at the Raptors interest. Forgot they were still in the NBA.

The Raps don't have anything worth a crap they could give us.

That could make history as one of the most lopsided trades ever.

[BadMofoPimp]

So, Brooklyn, whom is over the cap is going to trade:

Garnett $12.5m
Pierce $15.3m
Terry $5.2M
Total: $33M

for

Evans $1.7m
Boguns $1M
another minimum player. $1M
Total: $3.7m

Yeh, not a chance.


If would have to add Lopez and Humphries at $26.7M, that leaves you at about $30.4M which may be close enough.

[Noonskadoodle]

Broussard just trying to stay relevant.

hahaha

[OrlChamps2030]

Brooklyn isnt giving up Lopez cmon guys lol. My guess would probably be Humphries, Wallace, Evans, Bogans, and a couple of picks.

To Brooklyn: Garnett/Pierce/Jet

To Boston: Humphries/Wallace/Evans/Bogans/picks

yeah it doesn't work but it says Evand would be signed and traded and he could make some more, still too far away

[Smooth_E]

Raps want our #2?

Sure that'll cost you either one Terrance Ross, one Demar DeRozan or both please.
