At least Porter is a $28M expiring contract, so there is that.

He was in the deal strictly for salary matching purposes. I have to assume he'll be bought out.

Honestly I would not be surprised if AG is the one that does not get traded...at least not today...maybe that is why he regretted the trade request...they were like dude we are about to hand you the keys to this team and getting rid of buddy ball lol...Gordon still only 25

I didn't want Vucevic traded.

I wanted Gordon/Fournier moved for pieces to reset the wings and then use the high pick on a scoring wing. This team would have looked a lot different.

Not an Evan fan, but he should get more than 2 2nds.

Exactly. If that's the deal we got, management is to blame. If we had traded him in the summer or last year, we get more. Instead we get nothing because we wanted to "run it back" for the 7th or 8th seed and another pounding by Milwaukee, Brooklyn or Philly.

I guess we tank for Holmgren lol.

The Evan deal is meh but its prob for the TPE right if we aren't getting players back so that's not bad for a player not coming back next year. Does that mean AG is going somewhere else or this is the first of two separate deals with Boston?

The Effect · Post #1719 » by **The Effect** » Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:39 pm

So....if vuc is gone, and evan is gone and AG is likely gone today...........should we expect Ross to be gone today today? cant see the point in keeping him now?

OrlandoNed · Post #1720 » by **OrlandoNed** » Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:40 pm

This Evan deal might be part of a larger trade with the Celtics. Fournier is likely getting absorbed into their TPE and that kind of trade can’t involve us getting a player. A second trade for Gordon is likely bringing other players.
