Yes, he is meeting with them today.


Not him directly, his reps are.


Correct.

They could have easily not traded for Paul George since he wanted to go to the lakers.

The difference is that the Thunder were going nowhere, while the Celtics are all set.

And 6 million more in Salary to make it legal..Morris and Nader? Yes I am sure that would do it but I’d prefer keeping Brown and passing.


Most I'd do is morris, sign and trade smart if it's legal, sac pick, clippers pick and our own next year.

We gotta try and hang into our players. If that isnt getting it done I'm more than happy to sit back keep our lineup and see what the sac pick turns into.

For overall NBA competition purposes it would be great if Lebron signs with LA and Kawhi is traded to Sixers. That would awesome for the NBA

Because the 76ers are dumb and gullible and the Celtics aren't.

Also, the Thunder situation is not even remotely close to similar. They took the risk with Paul George because they felt it was the only way to get Westbrook to sign an extension. The Celtics are not in that position.

Which is no different than what we heard two weeks ago. And the 76ers can't really put together a great package WITH Fultz; not to mention without him.

Neither LeBron nor Kawhi are going to Philly. You are getting all worked up over nothing.

To be fair as well they arent including anyone on the level of Brown in the trade. Yet people are saying we should? :crazy:

If Philly get KL makes sense for LBJ to join him there.

Kawhi and LBJ to Philly would be a death sentence for us, Danny should just pay up for Kawhi at that point.

Danny Ainge would sacrifice Jaylen Brown in a second if it meant acquiring Leonard just to keep that Monstar Squad from forming.

#1 - this is coming from the Sixers as a Hail Mary so LeBron would even consider them

OR

#2 This is coming from the Spurs who want to cause confusion and make the Cs think they need to up their offer because Philly might pull this off.

Take both options with a significant grain of salt

Danny knows this. Spurs can now hold Danny’s balls and demand Tatum or deal with SuperTeam and not coming out aive in the next 5 yrs.

We wouldn’t win a damn thing if this happens. It would close our window for the next 5 years. I question the fit, but the talent would be too much to overcome.

Celtics shouldn't engage with the spurs. It is a waste of time already. They are not really serious about getting kawhi leonard. It shows with what they are offering. I am not saying they should offer this, but if what they are offering doesn't include Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, then move on.
