Hard to Believe Ainge will Make any Move Soon Trade Thread

[FlatearthZorro]

Drummond with 33 points and 23 boards. He’s having a good year, I think we could get him but not sure what we’d have to give up.

Isn't he expiring? I doubt it'd be much. Problem is you'd have to resign him or that "big TPE" is gone for a 50 game rental.

If Semi can keep up his current level of play the need for a wing becomes much less altho I still love the idea of adding Harrison Barnes. Besides being exactly what this team needs on the floor I would love to add another guy who’s been to and won the finals. We’d also get 3 playoff runs out of him.

Yea... I wouldn’t trust that at all. Celtics are shopping Kemba “all around the league” and he’s the only “insider” to pick up on it. Got it.

Kemba isn’t going anywhere.

Multiple sources had the Celtics interested in holiday, although Harper was the only one that explicitly mentioned Kemba I dont think there was any other real trade framework that made sense so my guess is that rumor was at least somewhat real.

If the c's find the right deal he absolutely could go somewhere.

Celtics have interest in every all star level player that comes available... And any player could be moved for “the right deal”, if you really want to get literal.

But Holiday isn’t the right deal for that lol.

If Boston were “shopping Kemba around the league for draft picks to flip to acquire Holiday” like this clown claims, you would have heard that from other more credible people.

Again if they were in on Holiday, and alot of people reports they were, there was no way to do that deal without Kemba. You may not like it, but it was something they thought about. I'm not saying you have to trade Kemba, but if its for a huge upgrade and after watching kyrie, horford, hayward leave for nothing the Celtics would OBVIOSULY do it. He's no where near untouchable.

I dunno why the Kings would be trading him tho?

Ross and Gordon could be on the table, Fournier might be, too. I like the idea of Fournier. He's very similar to Hayward, 2 inches smaller, but underrated. Dunno what his contract situation is tho and contracts are imo very determining as in the current CBA every player is looking to get the most money that's on the table.

Give the guy credit, he is creative. This makes no sense on so many levels unless Westbrook going to a 3rd team and something else coming to the Celtics but who would want Westbrook?

Just the normal Robot Dave dribble but something to talk about

Kings should tank. I would also be willing to give up one of Langford or Nesmith plus our first this year. I went to the Kings board and one of their posters had proposed trading Barnes for McDermott, Lamb and a 2nd round pick so at least some of their fans are thinking about moving him.

The magic players all make sense but Barnes is better than all of them plus he has that championship experience.

If, If IIIIIFFFFFFF

Westbrook concetrated on being a facilitator he could be a phenominal get for someone.

I can see NYK wanting him

Kemba, romeo, picks, randle, knox, salary from NYK to washington

Wall to nyk

Beal to boston

[BK_2020]

Gordon is bad. He is basically a taller slower Javonte who makes ten times as much salary. No thanks.

Is this guy trolling. I would vommit my guts out if we trade for RW. Dude is done. He was never that good. Freak athlete, but his ability is diminished and he still thinks he's a top 10 guy. He literally blew the game for the Wizards when they played us. When we were up 2, he took 2-3 consecutive 3s for no reason and Brad wont be able to deal with him. He's also had multiple 30 + shots playoff games in the past 3 seasons and he shot .400 or below in each one of those games.

HARDEST PASS EVER. I'd take Kemba 10 out of 10 times over Westbrook.

A sprinkle of daft picks? We're sending Kemba AND picks for Russel?

Questions/hypothetical’s for the capologists

Whose got cap space next year that could be potential kemba landing spots? New York, Dallas? (Previous interest)

If Danny got nuts and traded brown for beal (he won’t) when kemba expires would we still have max space after beal extends?

Agreed.The Kings are still in the "talent accumulation" phase and considering that they just extended Fox (and rightly so), they should keep other costs down while trying to add young talent. They're still a terrible team. Why pay Barnes for the next 3 years when right now, there's no current path to playoff contention? Boston would be doing the Kings a favor by giving them a reset on Barnes who hasn't had the impact they hoped he would have.

Hope that he's on the table. Would trade 2 firsts, the TPE and maybe 1 young guy for him. Cost will probably be high, but it does seem that the trade costs for decent players lately have been outrageous, so 2 firsts probably makes sense.

I don't know how it even occurred to them but Knicks fans on the GB want to trade us Julius Randle for Nesmith and Langford.

No thanks on randle. He's a guy who needs high usage to be effective. We can't give him that kind of role here.

I think with most trade scenarios, if it's someone who needs high usage to be effective, we should assume we're not really after him, unless it's a guy who is better than our top 3 guys (Kemba, Tatum, Brown)

I do see where you're coming from. But I wonder if Randle is actually capable of a variety of roles and his problem has been he's never had a good coach until Thibs, who suddenly turned him into a good player in no time at all.

I'd be interested at a low cost, personally.

Well his skillset to me isnt conducive to being effective on a smaller role, i personally think. He's mainly a postup big who doesnt stretch the floor and cant protect the rim and isnt all that switchable on defense. There might be more untapped potential as a roll man but that's really about it. Not saying he's not a good player, but to me he's best suited as a high usage guy on a not so great team. And I think if the price is Langford and Nesmith, I wouldnt call that "low cost." They're our last two lottery picks and really our only semi-high upside asset remaining outside of the true core guys (Kemba Smart Tatum Brown).
