It's a Tragedy to see the Deadline's Over Post Trade Thread

Um, no

He is going to the Lakers or Nets so I would not worry about him signing him here.

Not Nets. He's already said that he wasn't interested in Brooklyn. I mean, we have a shot. There's minutes for him here. He supposedly wants to be back east. He's got his UConn connection with Kemba, plus they share the same agent, Jeff Schwartz and he has a fantastic relationship with Danny. I don't know what kind of shot we got but we have a shot. I think I might be more partial to Olynyk due to roster fit and his familiarity but Drummond could choose us.

I think if we get Drummond we'd buy out TT. Or else it's just a dumb move. You can sort of play TT and Theis together. But TT + Drummond would be the disaster of disasters and one of those guys is going to be severely unhappy and be horrible for the team.

This Drummond thing just seems like more spec from media types

I literally got no idea what Danny is doing at this point. We were supposed to look for bench scorer, imo and maybe a starting caliber big. Instead, we traded our starting center, added a scrub, added a scoring wing and now we're looking at adding an empty stats big, who's advanced stats are atrocious. Please, explain.

Drummond does not make great sense for either LA, Brooklyn philly or Mil ....Boston NY and Charlotte make the most sense. He is far more interested in a prominant role, playing for new contract while still in his prime ...age 27.
He is a VERY rich man's TT, Drummond and Rob will play and TT will cheer

Would have to be for the minumum or we will be in tax

[Ben-N1ce]

If Drummond is better that TT why not sign him.. He's going to Nets or Lakers though..

[FrodoFraggins]

AInge shouldnt let this non sense get out.

Now the team knows that many of them were shopped, and the team now knows that many of them have lower values than guys like Carter Jr.

Keep it quiet.

He's only half of each trade discussion. He has zero control over what the other team leaks. So it's kind of important to know where the leak came from first.

[The Corey's]

Getting excited for a player who went for a couple second rounders.

I'm sure this will end well.

[Andrew McCeltic]

I think Charlotte has the cap space to sign Drummond this summer, and they’ve supposedly wanted him for awhile..

Or he can ring chase in LA, take the most money from the Knicks.. I think the appeal here would be going into free agency showing he can be a difference maker- if the Celtics surge with Drummond and Fournier, that could earn him some extra millions, especially because he’s never really played on a winning team.

He would sign with the minimum regardless of where he goes. Even if a team had cap to sign him for more, he wouldn’t get any more money, it would just offset his buyout.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

I'll take Drummond on a minimum contract.

I heard Ainge "tried" to trade for Vuc, seems we hear something like this every year. Not sure why we hear of these FAILURES, is Ainge just trying to prove he has good intentions or is just inept at his job ? Never understood why the FO puts this out their "what could have been" efforts, seems like an attempt to show the fanbase he's got their back but always comes across as he doesn't get the job done IMO. Either way, seems like a chance to do some PR manipulation.

Is Fournier not a bench scorer ?

You can argue how impactful Drummond is, but pretending like he isn’t talented is silly. He could 100% end up like Monroe, but I don’t think Boston is in a position where we should be saying no to adding vet min players that multiple contenders are also pursuing.

The fact that people are bashing Ainge for a rumor of interest in the most coveted buyout player on the market is nonsensical. There is literally no downside to a 1 year vet min to see how he plays on an actually competitive team with all stars. He’s not going to “block” anyone unless you’re hoping for 30 MPG TT or 18 MPG Wagner. Rob will be fine, and Drummond will be gone next year anyway.

Water is wet. " We where close " whatever...

[Curmudgeon]

Who cares? Drummond would be nice as a big body to throw at Embiid, but otherwise his absence won't make or break the season.

Wait until you Nuggets fans watch Aaron Gordon play basketball. Maybe you will reevaluate your opinion of Ainge. As for Vuc, there is almost no way that the Celtics could have matched salaries without Orlando agreeing to take Kemba Walker. It would have taken Smart, Tristan Thompson and at least one prospect (e.g. Langford) plus two draft picks. He's not worth it.

True, we can't lose our closer Marcus Smart. at least we got a guy who can help him in late game, if he ain't open
