Trade Post-Mortem 2017: Eight is Enough

If so, does Al Horford for Nikola Vucevic and Bismack Biyombo make sense?

Congratulations, if there's a worse trade idea out there than this one I haven't seen it.

He left out #1 pick and Brooklyn 18 pick and Brown going with Horford.

Not sure what the obsession with Saric is all about. We're knocking IT for being a poor defender. At least he's a point guard and not a power forward.

After listening to some of the most recent Zach Lowe podcast, they were discussing the future of the Spurs and more specifically Aldridge and whether he could be moved. He has some issues and is clearly on the decline, but he could definitely be an option in that Griffin/Milsap type discussion in terms of a second big to pair with Horford.

The problem is the players the Celtics would want to include are unlikely to interest the Spurs at all.

Thoughts?

May as well add a second and less reliable Al Horford lol. Two can get owned on the boards together.

I wanted Aldridge bad when he was a Free Agent, but I'm over it now. Now if Spurs by some miracle decide to blow it up and want all our picks for Kawhi then wake me up

Don't get the fascination with helping Philly out. Saric shot 31% from deep this year and can't defend, but sure he can pass a little bit. So people want a worse version of Olynyk as a sweetener to then draft a worse player with a lower pick? Why? Stop listening to Bill Simmons.

Saric is so overrated by some who thinks he holds this kind of value.

The secret to this is playing for a different team.

Looks like the Next MCW, good (empty) stats on a bad team.

What's the deal with Bosh, is he eligible to play if he is cleared health wise? Any chance of grabbing him on a 1&1 deal for cheap?

I was actually wondering about Bosh a few weeks ago. Then I saw your post & then this article:

They list us as the top potential destination for Bosh (Cleveland 2nd). I don't have the slightest clue about what type of contract he'd receive but I do wonder if there was a way to clear up enough salary to sign Hayward & take a flyer on Bosh. Assuming best case scenario, he's healthy and gets us a couple years of production at PF; he'd be a terrific stop gap fit until we hopefully draft a front court player in the 2018 draft.

I agree, he's making his heat money either way. Wonder if he is still boys with Lebron or if he maybe felt at all slighted by his departure. Would be nice if he gave us first look. If he can't pass the physical than it's a moot point. Question would be if he does pass, would he do a vet minimum just to have a shot to play again. Only way I could see us still being able to add Hayward.
