Judging by what Smart said it looks like we're giving up Tatum or Brown (I'm guessing Tatum), salary wise it would make sense, allowing us to keep a vital piece of the current core.
Not sure how I'd feel about trading either of the Jays tho, but if we don't give up BKN&LAL picks I might live with it

That's what I thought but why would general board bash Indiana for that? That's a home run for them


People expect us to hand over Brown, Tatum, Brooklyn18 for 1 star

Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum are not going to be traded. The trade is most likely going to be Avery Bradley, one of Jae Crowder or Marcus Smart, and the 2018 Lakers pick.

After what Ainge said they almost hang up the phone each time Browns name comes up in trade talks, safe to say he's not going out. And after that reception Tatum received and how everyone in the org seems to love him, and Pagliuca being a Duke alum, he aint going nowhere.

I believe the early reports, Bradley,Crowder,Lakers pick,Clippers pick (if its my choice). Im keeping The MEM pick cause it has much more potential. BKN pick is safe too I believe.

So Celtics death lineup will be IT/Brown/Hayward/PG/Horford or IT/Smart/Hayward/PG/Horford?

If the trade does happen: LOL what is Ainge thinking?? They're still not good enough to beat Cleveland, let alone the Warriors, and now have no future haha what a failure

AB
Jae
LAL/SAC pick
MEM pick

If we are able to sign Hayward or Griffin, get it done.

If George is ageeing to stay in Boston long term then I'd be fine giving up the Lakers pick, but if he refuses to agree to anything they can have Rozier/Crowder and some mediocre picks.

If Jaylen or Tatum or the BKN 18 is included, I am fully on the fire Ainge wagon again. It wouldn't be wholly irresponsible and delusional.

In no f-ing world is Paul George worth 2 BKN picks. That what it would be. Jaylen or Tatum plus BKN 18 is an incredibly stupid move and would ensure the Cs have no future past the next 3ish years.

Again, if any of the BKN players/pick are included..fire Ainge.

The question is would you trade the #1 pick ( Fultz) for George?

If Ainge trades Tatum and the Lakers pick this is essentially the deal.

Read on Twitter


What's the chance it's not Boston pursuing Hayward, but instead choosing where they can get the best overall situation between Hayward and Blake Griffin?
