Curm not knowing how to spell Tatum’s name is just so perfect, and on the nose.

I would be all over a Smart Collins swap.

Only so many guys who are 6-9, 7' wingspan, 39% from deep, TS% > 60 and aren't a complete liability on defense. Most of them aren't available.

The fact that he's only 24 and a quality rebounder makes it even more appealing. Giving Ime a reason to move away from double big lineups is just gravy.

Schroeder / Pritchard
Brown / Richardson
Tatum
Collins / Grant
Rob / Horford

that's your 9 man rotation. Replace Schroeder with Richardson for closing lineup.

You replace all Smart's FGA's and some of Horford's with Collins FGAs. Huge upgrade. Frees up more minutes for Richardson and Pritchard. We still have plenty of competent perimeter players. I like it.

You're gonna have to add more than Smart to make that deal. Unless Collins is miserable, not sure why Atlanta would move him.

Celtics would need a 3rd team like Detroit...

Collins to BOS
Jerami Grant & Smart to ATL
Nesmith, Jalen Johnson, LouWill, Bruno & BOS FRP to DET

Stevens would need to make a subsequent deal for a pg and maybe Derrick White would be available for Langford, etc??? Langford would help San Antonio's defense, but no idea what else they'd want for D. White?

If making that deal just cut collins out.

Nesmith, Juancho (replaces lou wills contract) Bruno and 2 first rounders for Grant (which I think is an overpay)

I would rather have Smart and Grant than just Collins.

I know how to spell turnover, though.

I’m really proud of you, it’s a tough word to spell.

Such a childish response.

Apparently Collins is unhappy there

[Larry_Russell]

IF collins is unhappy then I would do this 3 team deal.


Lakers in
Horford, Schroder, Nesmith
out
Westbrook and a 1st


Atlanta in
Smart, Jauncho, Lakers 1st, 2 Boston 2nds
out
Collins

Boston in
Westbrook, Collins
out
Schroder, Smart, Juancho, Horford, Nesmith

Obviously need some min contracts to finish year, but....

Westbrook/Pritchard
Brown/Richardson/Thomas
Tatum/Romeo/Hauser
Collins/GrantW
Timelord/Kanter/Brun

[MagicBagley18]

The “Larry Russell trade thread”.....I give you credit. I burned the midnight oil on actual moves & rumors- the level of commitment you’ve made to this thread over absolutely zero rumors, innuendo or anything of real substance is something.

[Larry_Russell]

Horford, Schroder, Nesmith and a protected 1st or 2 2nds to Portland

Roco to Chicago

CJ Mccollum, Denis Smith Jr, Jones Jr and Colby White to Boston

Smart/DSJ/Pritchard
McCollum/White/2wp
Brown/Romeo/Jones Jr
Tatum/Grant/Juancho
Timelord/Kanter/Bruno

And surprisingly, every single one of them favors the Celtics!!!

Atlanta is a team that could do the Simmons/Harris trade.

ATL: Simmons, Harris
PHI: Collins, Gallinari, Bogdanovic

Money works out. Collins is disgruntled, good swap with Simmons. He pairs well with Embiid. Danilo and Bogi offset Harris.

Think that's not bad both ways.

Hawks have no interest in Harris and his bloated contract.

Spears also reported that the Hawks had interest in a trade for Simmons until the 76ers broached the possibility of including Harris.

Who would?

Sixers are delusional.

[Shak_Celts]

Jason Tatum and Dennis Schroder for Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey. Keep Simmons out of it.

Only 1 player I would trade Tatum for at this point in time, and that is Ja.

Ja who? they are calling Jesus any old thing now. Tat is 23, there is no one I can think of unless LBJ was still 30, because he'd still probably have a great 10 season in him at the rate he's going now. There is no one for one Tatum deal in today's nba.

I dunno. LeBron's PED"s may keep him going strong until his 50's.

Giannis has to be a 'yes'.
Jokic is a bit doughy for my liking but unlike Doncic I'd probably do it.
Embiid is too much of a rival but I've got to admit he's become really dominant as he enters his prime.

What's the scoop on the Collins rumors any truth to them? Do you think the team will trade him? Seems like he's been in rumors for well over a year now.

If you were to move Collins any interest in Marcus Smart, Boston's 2022 1st and an additional asset for Collins.

Additional asset could be Pritchad, Nesmith, Langford or our 2024 1st.

You could also swap Boston's 2022 1st for Grant Williams if you want.

I wouldn't do Embiid, but those trades would not happen to acquire Tatum. So there are no trades other teams would do that I would accept. There are no available 1 for 1. I used LBJ as a joke lol. No one is willingly trading LBJ ever (especially when he was 30). I can almost promise he won't be like trading off KG and PP.
