Trade Thread 2017: Not Once, Not twice, But Thrice!

[Froob]

I can't really imagine any trade scenario for AD with the Pels unless they are getting someone like Towns. You don't trade a big like that on a 4 year deal. I love Brown but the chances he gets as good as AD....I wouldn't bank on it when I already have AD. There's just no reason to. He's 23 years old and probably a future hall of famer on a contract that is actually pretty nice considering the cap spike. He's pretty much untradable in my mind, at least for another two years or so before you worry about if he'll re-sign.

Sadly (because I drool over the thought of him as a Celtic), I have to agree.

Another way to put it: Has a a player that good (already one All-NBA 1st team, 3 All-Star appearances, 2-time blocks leader), that young (23), and signed for that long (4 years at pre-2016 dollars) ever been traded?

Pelies won't trade him unless he comes out and requests a trade, which he won't do

Even if he does that, what leverage does he have to actually make them do it? I'd tell him tough ****.

Bogut has basically benched himself and is already saying he's glad he's a free agent so he'll be out of Dallas soon.. He's there if we want him

Personally hate the guys personality and attitude and would prefer to explore other options, but worth noting

safe to say that reports of Buddy Hield's death were greatly exaggerated. He is not a bust contrary to what so many have reported. With AD being a top player that he is, it would seem like adding, not subtracting makes more sense. They'll land a very good player in the lottery and be well on their way. Fox would be a good fit there.

Ed Davis is getting dnp's could be another low risk option

I feel compelled to fess up and say I wanted us to draft Hield. I still like him and think he'll have an excellent career, but I'm pretty pleased with Jaylen's huge upside. I think within two years time Jaylen can be a monster... maybe.

Good point. He's a pretty good rebounder per stats, but I admit to not being familiar with his game. What are your thoughts? It's not like they have monsters in the frontcourt in Portland. Wonder why he can't get minutes.

He'd fit the rebounder role but not sure what else. His offense mainly consists of offensive putbacks and dunks off the pick and roll. Has zero range (73% of shots from within 3 feet). Does not really do much for you defensively - not super adept as a perimeter defender and not a great rim protector.

For an on-the-cheap upgrade, he could work, but I have a hard time seeing him as a priority. I'd rather give up a bit more to acquire Noel or even Alex Len, as I think those guys give the same thing as a baseline (rebounding) but better fit the backup C role and could become a real contributor if the change of scenery and some coaching helps them take a step forward.

Noel
Okafor
Bogut

I hope we get one of the three in the next weeks. None of them would cost us much and the first two come to Boston tomorrow

Ainge was just on 985 for his weekly interview and confirmed he's had discussions with multiple teams regarding the BKN17 pick. He's said nothing was close as of now, but that he's getting many calls.

My own personal take based on how he sounded: he's eventually going to trade the pick, and going to get a star.

Ha wow would be crazy if he finally pulled the trigger. I'd want a pretty big return for that pick at this point.

He's very foul prone.

Ed Davis is another guy who would help but eats into summer cap space. It's why we're boring right now. Either star or expiring and very little in between actually make sense. Unless we pivot and do something that eats away this summer's space and opens up Vucevic/Monroe types.

Looks like a poormans Tristan Thompson.

Ed would be a decent fit, but again, he does give us a hit with our cap space for next year.

I don't think I'd give up anyone in our rotation for him either. Something like Zeller & a 2nd is the most I'd do, assuming they just want to dump him.

I don't think he specified which Brooklyn pick. He could've easily been talking about the 2014 Brooklyn 1st, James Young. GMs are calling about James Young! Nothing imminent 'cos they're still waiting for Zeller to be trade-eligible. Not too long now.

If we trade Nets' pick, this season will become 47.8% less interesting for me. I've become so accustomed to check scores and follow the tankathon race. It's like a drug 0_o

Pick looks like a lock to be TOP5 in a supposedly good draft. I mean, if you can get Butler or George you have to do it, but considering that two super teams exist, I feel our best way to #18 is to draft a stud with one of the Nets picks and give yourself a 8-10 year window. Lebron turned 32 btw

Anyone think Brad's shortening the rotation (and cutting Terry out) because of a lined up Rozier-trade?

I think it's cause Rozier isn't good at basketball

Guess we'll find out on Jan. 15th, when Ainge can deal Zeller and Rozier for Bogut.

Yeah, if he could defend the P&R with any semblance of capability, he'd be a nice little role player. Then again, given Portland's awful P&R defense, if he could do that, he'd be getting 25 MPG for them.
