Irving for SGA, Gortat maybe a future first.
Why for Clips: They get even lower under the cap but they can sell Kawhi or Durant to play with Irving instead of nothing all while having the right to offer Irving the max. NY's got very little on the Clips and they got about what 30 million extra guaranteed in salary and no snow?
Why for BOS: Fantastic young rookie PG prospect that slides right into the rebuild. Being 6'6" suggest he's switchable on defense and with the current BOS core having a proven lack of playmaking between: Rozier, Smart, Tatum, Brown SGA fills a void talent wise. We should see an awful lot of SGA feeding Tatum and Brown in the next 5 years.
SGA & Gallo for Irving and Morris..
Clips unload Gallo's salary and have room for KD and maybe another max guy?? I'm not sure about Irving's cap hold, since he has an option.
Celtics roll into the playoffs with a better team than last year... Horford, Gallo, Tatum, Brown, Rozier, Baynes, Hayward, SAG and Smart...
