same division and both organizations are not huge fans of one another. ha. would KL even agree to join the Cs ??
I am a huge fan od KL, always have been and believe he would be a perfect compliment engine to max out the Jays ! a better version of CP3 esp on D and clutch 3pt shooting ....his midrange game is not too far off CP but KL gets to the basket and FT line at higher rate...
is there ANY way he makes it to Boston ??
could Timelord Romeo langford and frp get it done, or would it require Smart ??
Lowry would first want to be there since he’s an UFA. if he’s fine with that then I think it would take Smart mainly because the Cs are a division rival so the asking price would be more. Otherwise we’d be shooting ourselves in the foot.
There's only a few teams where you KNOW the teams and the fanbases would appreciate Kyle, and Celtics are one of them. Simmons and Russillo are certainly now on the Lowry hype train, slotting him at #1 in their 2006 redraft (of course, 2006 was a really weak year. Celtics traded their lottery pick for Bassy f'n Telfair).
So for that reason alone, I actually wouldn't mind seeing Lowry end his career setting up those J-boys if that's what he wants to do. Smart seems like an obvious return, but Kyle wants big money. At least 20 mill. So Cs would have to be willing to pay him that much, and be able to trade at least 16 mill in salary back to the Raps. If you want to stay under the tax, you'd have to trade back the full 20 mill. DON'T say Tristan Thompson. That will not be an option. Moses Brown would be a nice start. Who else?
you talking about Smart plus moses plus 'who else' or you are saying we keep smart and start with Moses and get up to 16 ??
If it means locking up KL at something like 4/80 (3 with player/team option for final year) I'm all in !!
Smart + Moses + another young player (unless its Carsen Edwards) is a bit rich ...esp with potential for Smart revenge games 5x in division a season plus POs in conf. for the next 10-12 yrs !!
smart plus Moses & Carsen ?
or if Smart is left out ....Moses plus a resigned Timelord at a modest 4/40 plus any 2 young players (nesmith paytonP romeo GWilliams YamMadar) or 2 frp picks ??
If I were running things I would give more than Carsen in order to lock up KL @ 4/80 as Jaylen is under contract 3 more yrs at only 25m, Tatum is maxed out 4 more, perfect timeline .....but can't see our Foffice giving up Smart and Brown AND someone like nesmith or PP
