The Celts need a 3-point specialist.

In today's NBA, almost all the teams have a 3-point specialist.

Celts really need one.

True!

I don't think there's a significant player in the league who hasn't been mentioned yet.

That said, there are very few teams I can imagine wanting Kemba at a fair price, the top one I can think of is Miami, and trading Kemba to Miami wouldn't feel like a betrayal.

Kemba for Bam

Personally don't see the Kings interest in PP. Wings are more of an issue for the Kings

I would do that too, but why PP when they already have Fox and Haliburton?

I would jump at that deal lol. I know people love PP because he came out the gates better than Nesmith but if I had a choice between them Im keeping Nesmith over him 10/10 times.

You sell HIGH on PP if you are going to get Barnes back

Would you guys do that trade?

It just would never be offered. Washington won't water down their Beal return by attaching Westbrook's bad money. They'll get every red cent they can for him, and worry about Westbrook later, as his contract gets shorter.

Brown is a young, cost controlled all star who is well rounded and sophisticated. He is as good a fit for Washington as it comes IMO. Idk if there gonna find much better in terms of players coming back. Agree with Westbrook though no need to muddy it up.

The question you have to ask yourself is, would they deal Beal for Brown straight up? If the answer is yes, you just make that deal. If no, then you're trying to steal Beal by diminishing his value by attaching Westbrook. They won't do that, however much we'd like them to.

In before we somehow turn Kemba into Tobias Harris.

Strains the definition of "significant", I know. 15th highest paid player in the league though, with 11th highest guaranteed money remaining.

I dont get that for Kings though.

Why PP when they have Hali and Fox and Joseph and Ramsay?

I would make the deal I think, but I do really like PP.

If Kemba comes off the bench here then I am all for it 100%.

Smart
Brown
Barnes
Tatum
Timelord

Kemba and Theis off the bench.

Romeo is an ideal fit for them IMO.

Fox
Hali
Romeo

nice wing trio

Are you sure Nesmiths is one? I know he hasn't played a ton but I can't say I've been impressed with his three point shooting. In fact with his 35% three point shooting he isn't even in the top 100 percentage-wise shooting threes.

Yeah, he played 8 games in a row and was averaging 42% from 3.
He is a shooter.

I do think the team is mailing this season in at least till the trade deadline and I am hoping that the team is purposefully sitting NEsmith to keep teams from asking about him.

Showcasing grant as much as possible, same as T.T. and Teague

I'll take max space and Brown and Tatum. Everything Ainge does must expire the same time as Kemba's contract in my opinion.

I mean it won’t happen because he’s gonna meet parameters and extend so it’s ludicrous but just for fun - if you have beal and Tatum that’s 2/3rds of the Hanlen workout crew....the other? embiid

Stepping away from fantasy and into reality- if beal is better than brown, why would u wanna go into free agency with a lesser player to allure another free agent?

I mean, he's 17-48. At that sample size, one more miss or one more make swings the percentage by 42 points (.333 to .375). Looking at his percentage here just isn't telling us very much.

What's more important to me is that you take a player that only played 14 games last year, then missed a bunch of time with a foot injury, give him no offseason, no training camp, no preseason, almost no practice time over the first half, and essentially no playing time, and he still kind of looks like he might be able to hit shots.

Everything has been basically the absolute worst case scenario for him. A Rozier-like .326 TS% rookie season would have surprised no one. But he's at .549. My guess is it goes up from there, when things normalize a bit.

Andrew McCeltic could be one of those contenders.
