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

[skywalker33]

And it our situation that equals pennies. But please sky walker, tell us how Gallo is worth 2 Brooklyn picks again.

Hey Homer, show me ONE post that I made saying Gallo is worth those 2 Brooklyn picks, put up or shut up !

All last season you were saying this right up until Gallo got hurt again

Then SHOW ME !! I've never said Gallo is worth two BKN picks...take you time to find it and proved the link please !! Not even sure I said he'd be worth one of those picks......

Trying to make me look like an idiot is just making you look like one...unless you can prove me wrong.

They could get Nurkic for pennies at this point, don't see how it's robbing anyone to pay Paul for that price.

If you thought Sullinger was fat and out of shape, wait till you see Nurkic. There's a reason why the Nuggets are dumping him, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he can't play with Jokic. Good players can almost always play with good players..

You are SOOO wrong again !! Nurkic dropped 35lbs this off-season, going from 280lbs to 245lbs working with our trainer. The reason has nothing to do with him not being able to play with Jokic or not being a good player, it's because Nurkic is playing BEHIND Jokic and he wants more minutes, believes he should be a starter. He's a very good player with room to get better, he easily has double-double potential as he demonstrated early in the season when he was starting. He does need to work on h is game a bit, has a tendency to rush things which has led to some turnovers.

What do you think you guys would want for Jusuf Nurkic?

You also really need to go back and compare the two if you believe Mario makes Bradley at 21 look like a d leaguer. Not only was Avery a much better defender but he was a more effiecent shooter. I honestly don't know how you came up with this.

Yeah it is crazy talk. Bradley wasn't just a rotation player for us, he was enormous for our team that 2nd year in the league. He was a huge reason the Celtics turned that season around after the all star break. He was making people cry on the defensive end. He took over as a starter and Ray Allen didn't get his job back.

Once he took over as a starter, he put in 12 points a game on 50/47/80 shooting while playing probably the best defense of his career.

Incredibly defined role on a good team, and Doc was patient bringing him along on offense, when he was missing shots, telling him eventually he'd start making them like he did in practice. His defense got him on the court, and that's where he was ahead of Hezonja. That hot streak of shooting didn't last, and he didn't really get back to a level of consistent offensive excellence until this year. Always been streaky.

Put Hezonja on that Celtics team, young Bradley on this year's Magic, you could get very different outcomes. I'm talking about raw ability, not situational performance.

Give it up. Quit while you are way, way, way behind

Look, time will tell. I'm betting Hezonja's averaging 15 points a game within two years, minimum, and getting them in ways Bradley can't. Never had that level of confidence with Mclemore or Waiters. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If you want to keep heckling, knock yourself out.

Carmelo at PF has a huge advantage on defenders and would work well in your system. Besides the Nets pick shoot an offer. OR if you want to involve the pick we can do Carmelo + 2017 NYK 1st + for 2017 NETS +

Knicks wound loose a massive amount of games and will end up top 8 guaranteed

Most Celtics would offer is Amir, Zeller, Rozier and the Celtics 2018 first rounder. I'm sure the Celtics would through in James Young as well.

[jfs1000d]

I think Melo would fit in nice at PF. He could score inside and stretch the defense.

I think Anthony would fit great. My only issue is he is 32 on big money and we can't empty the holster on him. The window is short with him.

To be honest, at this point I'll take any first round pick because trading Melo would benefit the Knicks by rebuilding. But as a Knicks fan we also look to get a pretty good return especially attaching our first. Believe me I know an offer of Melo + for NETS 1st would be absolutely putrid, that's why attaching our first and more might be fair

Celtics won't trade any Nets picks for Melo. Total non starter.

I know that that's why I offer the 2017 Knicks pick and also a 2018 or 19 top 8 protected.

I understand it's not appealing, so I would try and make it as appealing before moving off to a different route with the Celtics in terms of trade package. Although I do think it's fair including two Knicks picks

LOL damn you guys, I don't blame you honestly. Now the real question is if you get the 1st pick do you choose Fultz or JJ? since you got IT

I think Ainge would take Fultz or Ball

[165bows]

Trading for Melo is like going all-in without going in at all.

Trading for Nutkic is like robbing Peter, Fred, Larry and Jose to pay Paul.

They could get Nurkic for pennies at this point, don't see how it's robbing anyone to pay Paul for that price.

I'm talking about even playing him. He would improve our rebounding at the expense of everything else. The guy is a fat slob and he sucks.

Heh, that's the non-PC version of where I'm at lol. Without a mega-leap he's JJ Hickson, and Sac owes a lotto pick to Chicago that they traded for that guy a million years ago.

They still owe that pick? Damn. And now those swaps with Philly are probably going to screw them too. You think people would learn after the Nets swaps have screwed them a few times.

Hear you on the rest, but I look at it like this... there is a 0% chance of the Knicks getting one of those Nets picks in a trade that doesn't involve Porzingis. Given that there is a nearly 0% chance of a Porzingis trade happening right now, you might as might put that idea to bed.

Today, I say Fultz > Ball > Smith > Jackson > Ntilikina.

So...this is the team that the Celtics will be taking to the playoffs...very flawed

[BleedGreen1989]

I know the horse is dead, but I'm gonna keep hitting him.

Andrew Bogut makes a ton of sense for this team, all things considered.

I don't disagree but I am afraid Bogut may be that dead horse. worth a shot if it doesn't cost more than the Minny 2nd.
