Same, I'll probably never reveal I'm Danny Ainge.

my guess is they're working on an Okafor/Saric deal

Unless , we are willing to include one of the Brooklyn picks, I don't see us getting both Saric and Okafor.

One of Noel or Okafor for deal center around Bradley, Marcus or Rozier plus other lesser assets seems a lot more realistic.

Man, what a pathetic life you live to have such hatred for any entire city.

Philly has its fair share of issues but it's cool. I love living here.

People who have never lived here have a bad impression of the city for good reason though. I visited here for years before moving here and thought it was a **** hole.

I love Philly and have never lived there. Always have had a great time. As a Celtic fan I need the Sixers to be relevant again.

I get asking people to differentiate between sourced info and their own speculation, but it would probably curtail a lot of info getting put on this board. On a related note, safe to say at this point that people should listen to whatever Warriors related stuff I put out there haha.

Even though I wasn't totally in the inner circle for this one at the end, the funny thing is that when it came to KG, both sides thought they had him. So I trusted you guys over them this time and told them as much haha.

But like I said the other day, I guess that is the difference between where teams know more (trades, drafting) and where players know more (free agency, player reps).

Just was reminded of something KD related that is super depressing...Barnes turned down a 16 a year extension before the season. If he takes it...well...I don't want to finish this thought

Prob would have traded him anyways so it doesn't really matter

A) wouldn't believe everything you read there. People like to leave off small details like "team option on 4th year".

b) they could have dumped him easily anyways.

Absolutely do not want to trade the 17' Brooklyn pick. That's the last thing I want to trade. Aside from Philly, I can't see a team worse than the Nets.

Very good point. BK pick could realistically be #1. Patience is a virtue...hard to remain patient.

I ABSOLUTELY DO wanna trade the pick---Ainge will only Draft a guy who will be out of the league in 3 years anyway.

Agree 100%. Heat and Blazers matched the offer sheets for Johnson and Crabbe, respectively. Nets aren't getting any better.

On a side note, do any of our insiders have a clue on what Dan Lifshatz' tweets regarding Ainge working on a trade to land a star player that he says C's fans will be happy about?

That tweet is gonna keep the boards busy guessing for a lot of days. Glad it's not okafor though. I wonder bout his credibility with 2k followers.

He said "a star", that reveals Philly is not the trade partner.
My guess is a deal with Utah or Milwaukie.

"Player I believe every Celtics fan will be quite happy with." **** it's Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett!:P
