The (Quintessential) Trade Thread, 2017 (Part 5.0)

[Slax]

Jae prob just reacting to rumors like the rest of us.

Nah man, something's brewing. I know its only Monday night and guys are off for a few days, but Crowder tweeting out emos means that something is up ..something that pushes the needle for us and Jae is staying.

These are the words of someone who doesn't remember the "key thought" debacle.

First off I love these threads every year. Keeps the board exciting. Still, not seeing any trades being made. Celtics are in a pretty good position right now. They are a decent team, have come prospects and have a top 4 pick coming up this year. That is why they will stand pat.

I know people are down on Melo (I get it) but the Celtics do need a second scorer. Right now this team is doing so well largely because IT is playing out of his mind. I don't think what he is doing is sustainable; IT has a few bad games this team is down 0-3 or 1-2 in the playoffs. Celtics absolutely need another scorer or they many not get out of the first round.

So we're just waiting for the big move?

I figured all along we'd be pouncing on Bogut.

My first instinct is #NOMELO for obvious reasons, but if Brad's open to having him on the team, I'll be willing to give him a chance.

[Green89]

Rumor is Boston and IT followed Melo on Instagram, and Amir deleted his Twitter bio? From the Clippers' board.

We wouldn't be getting rid of Amir unless we were getting back a starting big.

Says the Bulls are willing to trade Taj Gibson - an expiring contract - if they can get a lottery pick in return. Lol?

[pasfru]

Has that Clippers trade proposal been posted here yet? Probably.

Doc can **** right off. I was laughing when I saw it. Just plain disrespectful.

My guess is we only trade for Bogut if trade for unnamed star happens. If not, Zeller stays on the team and remains a valuable trade chip on draft night because of his non-guaranteed contract.

Yes, Amir's definitely gone if we get Drummond.

If we'd get Drummond, would Zeller still be constanly fouling him to get to the FT-line?

[Green89]

Drummond took down all Detroit affiliation off his Twitter! It's happening!

[Green89]

Reportedly, the Pistons tried to trade Drummond for Cousins, so are the Celtics plan B?

Who's starting the Zeller Appreciation Thread?

[ConstableGeneva]

I'd be pissed if SVG traded Drummond for Brook Lopez.

[Smeff10]

I only want Drummond if he agrees to work with the Barry family on his free throw shooting. I'm dead serious. His percentage is unacceptable and should prevent him from being on a winning organization

Wherever Drummond gets traded to, SvG will somehow end up fleecing the Magic, even if they're not included in the deal.

[Green89]

Not if we were the 3rd team involved and got Drummond.

[Bar Fight]

Drummond is not worth Nets picks at all. Was he even an all star this year?
