What is taking so long to announce this trade?

Geez fine Atlanta, we’ll give you Langford for Trae Young. Let’s finish it and get on.

I think there must be other pieces moving or even a fourth team, cause it´s taking forever. That or maybe that one of the GM´s is on vacation and has no wifi. I don´t get it otherwise :lol:

Tomorrow will be the day we will know a lot more.
Good assessment:

When the inevitable Marcus Smart 4 year 80 mil extension kicks in will the Celtics still be able to get max cap room in the offseason?

Hahahaha, he’s not worth that. Maybe 15 million over 3 years. But 20 million a year for a role player is ridiculous.

Nope. Roster is pretty much gutted if we want to go the Tatum-Brown-Beal route using cap space.

Oh ok. I wonder if a Lonzo for Smart makes us better or worse?

Better.


I think is a lateral move but could makes us better because Lonzo has a higher upside.

I’d agree. I don’t think Smart is a slouch as passer by any means, but Lonzo last season was great all around and would be a much better compliment to the Jays.

Also really have to think whom on the roster is just tired of Marcus at this point.
