Boston's depth gets a needed boost. Still not anything that elevates them into another tier but for a team that thinks theyre close, good move.

In past years the Celtics adding Fournier wouldn't be as consequential. This year it helps them more just because their bench depth is so awful, they needed guys.

That said, Fournier's been even worse than Bledsoe the past two postseasons.

To be fair, he was being relied on as their main creator on the perimeter. That obviously won't be the case with Boston so there's a chance he'll be more successful this time around.

Has anyone seen what salary Bos is giving back? I can't find anything besides the picks.

I'd like to see Aaron Gordon get to Denver or Portland to improve those teams who are generally weak on the wing/type spots. And can use D help. Gordon isn't awesome overall but he is at D.

2021 Chicago 1st is only Top-4 protected. Yeah, absolutely awful move by them here.

What do the Lakers/Sixers have to get Lowry? Is this just salary dump for picks for the Raptors?

If Lowry ends up in Philly, I think we see a Sixers/Nets ECF. And if everyone is healthy that will be a great series.

Gotta see what Philly gives up, though. And who they grab from the buyout market.

really sucks that we could not even make the ECF and not have a 'disappointing' playoffs.

Philly would offer some combination of Maxey, Thybulle, and 1st round picks and expiring contracts. I don't really know with the Lakers; I would imagine it has to be built around KCP and or Schroder as the main salary pieces.

The only way I really see him ending up with the Lakers is if Philly and Miami aren't actually all that interested in Lowry or if Masai purposefully takes a lesser offer from LA than he's getting from Miami/Philly.

Chicago fans think this is a homerun deal for them, which is peak Chicago fandom.

'WE HAVE TWO ALL-STARS NOW LETS GOOOO!' lol

Why, because they're giving up the 13th-15th pick?

Seems like a plus for Chicago to make sure this one conveys when you know it isn't going to be high.

The 23 pick is what I'm curious about. That's the big one.

Edit: I'll be surprised if they miss the playoffs. They're better than the Knicks and Hawks now.

Would love to see Philly give up Thybulle.

Langston Galloway tweeted the eye emoji then deleted it. If he gets released for Reddick hed be a decent 3pt specialist off the bench.

FYI I'd rather have Galloway than Reddicks corpes if I'm the suns.
