Trade Thread Part Deux

[bucknersrevenge]

People expecting Gordon Hayward to be traded by the Feb 6th trade deadline are going to be very, very disappointed.

Last night was a great illustration of why he is so valuable to the Celtics

Totally apart from his value to us is the fact that you are not getting any sort of value for 30 games of Hayward before he hits unrestricted free agency.

It’s about as big a barrier as Jaylen’s poison pill if we are being real. Just not happening. A total non-starter.

He'd have value to teams trying to get out from under long term deals they no longer want. Cleveland might find him interesting. Sacramento might find him interesting. Maybe Detroit if we wanted to take Griffin off their hands (obviously not). The question becomes is it worth sacrificng the top heavy talent to try to find increased depth for the bench in a trade or should we just stick to the buyout market and/or maybe a small trade.

Rose is a garbage human being, keep him far away

What makes you any better?

You know Rose had a rape case a few seasons ago??

I'm aware. Read into it and seems like a wishy washy allegation tbh. Real rape deserves to be punished to the fullest. To avoid derailing this thread i'm ending the convo here.

I'm open to trading Gordon, but there's nothing available out there that would be of equal value for the guy.

Kevin Love says hi.

And I can't imagine him going anywhere now for at least 2 years if not 3 given his contract status.

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here. I’ve been coming to this board for 20 years. I have enjoyed reading all your posts and discussion about the Celtics.

Cheers!

Kevin Love might be a worse defender than Kanter.

Your obsession with always something negative about Jaylen is getting quite ridiculous now.

Not mad, but stay in the shallow end of the pool. Saying that trading Jaylen is more likely to improve us than trading Hayward not that serious, and more in line with your takes than mine.

That’s not my take though lol
I’m just stating that you have an unhealthy obsession trashing on Jaylen.

Your post is a perfect example of why this board kinda sucks. You are more concerned than rooting for a binky than whether the team wins titles or not. Totally illogical to claim that a guy saying we are more likely to get a good return for Jaylen than Hayward is hating on Jaylen, but there you are.

IMO, you can have whatever opinion that you like, but if you are going in on me, just know that you not on my level at all. We not looking at any part of this in the same way.

Love had a good defensive sequence once.

Seriously, they've both had multiple ones, no doubt. Love just happened to have one in one of the most famous crunch times ever.

No s*** Sherlock. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that we can get more in return by trading Brown instead of Hayward. Problem is you’re literally one of the only people on this board that doesn’t think Jaylen has the potential to be an important piece to winning a title.

IMO, you can have whatever opinion that you like, but if you are going in on me, just know that you not on my level at all. We not looking at any part of this in the same way.

Work on you’re grammar first before you start claiming to be an ‘intellectual god’.

It’s easier just to wait until the off-season to trade Jaylen anyway.

Philly will realize they want to move forward without Embiid and we can trade Jaylen, Romeo, Williams + every single pick for Embiid.

..... it’s going to happen..... right?

Feeling the same way now. I see nothing out there either that could come back as valuable at the moment.

Like literally any big name out there like Drummond or Love is just a garbage return for this team.

Also, I suspect if any moves are made now it's just something quiet in the background for depth. I mean I really like the vibe of this group and want them to fight out the season together now. Great chemistry, good group of fighters.....lets see what they are made of?

A recent Steve Bulpett article is all about this teams positive chemistry, I can't see Danny ATM making a major move.

Now don't make me want to trade anyone anymore, Celtics!

Didn’t get the sarcasm ?

[exculpatory]

Subtle Fencer. LOL.

The following are the errors I have seen & continue to see repeatedly over the years - but let pass so as not to be called the ‘grammar police’ & because it does not **** matter. LOL.

1. Constant use of “‘s” when only an “s” is required to pluralize a simple noun. Mind blowing.
2. Abject cluelessness in general as to the grammatical use of apostrophes.
3. Often zero or limited simple punctuation like periods & capitalization making posts difficult to read.
4. The occasional inappropriate use of ‘high end’ words which reflect zero knowledge of what the word actually means.
5. Failure to use the past tense for adjectives when appropriate, e.g. The man was clearly “bias” - instead of “biasED”.
6. Not understanding that when “adverbs” modify “verbs”, almost always, the letters “LY” must be added. Examples: The boy moved “quickLY” - NOT the The boy moved “quick”. The woman fondled the man’s package “gentLY” - NOT The woman fondled the man’s package “gentle”.

I got it.

Note: Caveman & I have disagreed about lots of things over the years, & he can appear to be condescending at times - but his intellect is top of the line & he expresses himself very well. The error you jumped on in his last post was not grammatical. Given the fact that 99.9% of his posts have been grammatically perfect, it was a typo. He also understands the NBA better than most of us.
