Trade Ideas Thread, 2019-20

[Celtics1918]

I think By trading for Clint Capela will make us legit title contender this year he matches up salary wise and signed 4 more years with out trading GH MS. Houston is falling apart right now.

Clint Capela for Enes Kanter, Romeo Langford, Vincent Poirier and any draft picks to make this a fear trade for both sides. espn trade machine successful!

Wouldn’t the Rockets be giving up on this season with that deal though? I don’t know why the Rockets make that one. If they were inclined to trade Capela I think they could do a lot better. ( just my opinion)

Yes Houston wants to rebuild the bench with young players knowing there going to be 6 or 7 seed and Mike D'Antoni rejects Rockets' incentive-based extension offer and fresh start next year I was reading about it today. Remember Ainge tried to trade for Capela when Kyrie Irving left but when it started with mem pick Ainge said no. Swap out Vincent Poirier for Grant Williams we have three first round picks If cost gets to much say no again. My point was they can make it work without all the fantasy talk they're never going to trade Hayward or Smart.

Team needs a trade

Team needs a trade

Can say that again.

Anyone who thinks this team as constructed is any more than a second round exit, for the second year in a row, is fooling themselves.

[robdog_5]

I wouldnt mind trying to get Bjelica. We would need to give up Porrier and Ojeyle or someone around that type of money

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Jeff Teague was just traded for some seafood.


Celtics have to try something, there are available players, Celtics can waste a Bucks' first rounder as it won't matter in this draft.

When no teams are offering a first, and the Celtics offer the Milwaukee first, they have the best offer.


Preferably send out more than you get, to open a spot to sign a veteran and to also promote Tacko.


The Milwaukee pick for Charlotte's Hernangomez?

Bogdanovic? Offer the Boston and Milwaukee firsts, and salary filler.



Just for fun for the teams, Nene and filler to Boston for Perrier and Semi.




Fire the coach and then make this trade, Hayward to Atlanta for Turner and Parsons.

Celtics can get $20million to $25million under the cap?

[flintsky21]

Hayward for Favors & Reddick.

[Fencer reregistered]

Team needs a trade

Or successful player development.

Time Lord has a great basketball body and the vision to make some snazzy passes. Can he learn to read things accurately at both ends of the court? If he does, he'll be a nice player to have on the court.

Tacko has amazing length and probably high schoolbook IQ. Can he learn to move with enough effectiveness to be a stud deender? It's certainly possible, and at that point he'd probably be a stud scorer as well.

Romeo's talent hasn't really been tested yet at the pro level.

If those three guys develop as we hope, much of what people hope to accomplish via trades will be taken care of anyway. And if the Jays continue to develop, we could have the needed star power too.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Hayward, Edwards, Memphis pick back, few 2nd rounders for Valanciunas and Iguodala.

Kemba/Smart
Brown/Langford
Tatum/Iguodala
Theis/Grant
Valanciunas/Kanter

You can add Houston to this trade and send Iggy there for Eric Gordon. We could use a sniper like him off the bench.

The other obvious one is a Hayward for Love swap.

There are good options out there.

Even if you want to go minor and not move Hayward, you can attach some dead salary to some picks and go after guys like Jae Crowder, Hernangomez from Denver, Bertans, Ellington, Redick..Derrick Rose..just add some veteran talent to this **** bench.

Something is missing for us. I have the feeling Ainge must be up to something.

[Bohemian]

...and the last games by Hayward are weird cause you could say that he was coming back from the hand surgery and all that. But what it strikes me the most is that the team is treating him like last year. We are not using him and he seems to have grown tired of it. Maybe he has been told that a trade is coming? I just wonder. Last night we played 4 on 5 and we lost. You can´t have your best distributor not touching the ball, and as a shooter he was awful.

I love Hayward (with Kemba my favourite two players on the team) but if you are going to use him like that as a decoy on offense then I would rather trade him. I´d hate it but the team is more important. Also, is Brad back to inconsistency? Meaning maybe there are some locker room issues again...

Probably I am overreacting, but I wonder if something is being in works

[Wes-J]

Guess we're back to trading Hayward again.

Unless management is satisfied with a second round exit. Maybe it´s the case.

Prepare yourself for the second round exit.

Management knows they're not getting equal or better value in trading Hayward.

Those are huge ifs, and waiting on them, and them not panning out is wasting years.

Should make a trade that retains those players and if they develop like everyone hopes then great, if not then move them too. Got to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Like most posters, trading hayward while value is higher will net us very good younger players that fill our immediate hiles while preserving the potential of romeo, tacko and timelord.

[Wes-J]

Bertans doesn't take us next level championship contender, but he would be a great piece for Stevens to use.

Screw the late first Rd picks, we got to stop getting younger and get some experience in the locker room.

It just seemed we were taking advantage of all the tools we had until new year. Last 2 weeks have been typical from last year.

I was ready for the second round exit at the beginning of the year but the spirit of the team gave me hope of something beyond that goal.

Management also knows that they cant have Kemba/Hayward/Brown/Tatum on max/near max deals. They’ll pay the tax for a contender, but I doubt they will for a second round exit team.

I would be shocked if Danny moved Gordon Hayward. I think it's way more likely that they spice up their bench a bit with minor moves. Edwards/2nd for Burks. Semi/Porier/1st for Bertans. Sign Waters or Tacko.

[CelticsLV]

When you look at the future salary situation and consider this FO has clear no-tax policy, a Hayward trade becomes unrealistic. Could survive next season but then with Tatum's extension the salary would jump way over the tax line unless Hayward or the players he's traded for go off the books after the next season. That's why Ainge is so stingy when it comes to trading these draft picks. He wants to use them to fill the roster on the cheap and stay under the tax.

Hayward most likely will be let free in FA either this summer or next.

There's probably no market for Hayward because of his contract situation. At least nothing that would make this team better than it is.

I think this is the roster we will need to live with for forseeable future.

We literally paid the tax last season. If we have a roster that the FO believes is a contender, I’d guess management has no qualms paying the tax. I just cant see them as eager if we have the ceiling of a second round team.
