How do you like that Danny!

I was posting that in Jest, but Mitchell is a hell of a player.

Is the perfect fit next to the Jays, imo.

Lol No! He would be a terrible fit. Unless you are fine with iso plays, and those 3 taking turns at it. Lol

A Smart for Conley deal interests me quite a bit. I'm not adding draft capital. Maybe a swap of 2022 1sts if O'Neal is involved and they can take Romeo.

Conley is probably the most realistic true PG we can acquire. Can orchestrate an offensive flow and is a plus shooter. basically exactly what we need. He's a veteran who's played on some very good teams.

Also, a very important detail regarding contracts I rarely see mentioned is that Conley is signed two more years after this one, HOWEVER that final year is similar to Horford's in that it is only partially guaranteed. So essentially one more fully guaranteed year and then you have some options.

So after this year you're looking at about $35mill guaranteed for Conley vs roughly $75mill guaranteed for Smart and signed two more additional years.

Knicks would love this. Randle is bad.

Randle is shooting 41% and 30% from three point range almost identical percentages as Marcus Smart without all the extra stuff that Smart brings to the table. Hard pass!

Randle is a dumpster fire.

He's putting up great numbers. Too bad Ainge didn't get him in the summer of 2019.

Kings trade-Buddy, Holmes, Ramsay
Kings get-Horford, PJ Washington

Kings clear long term salary, add a great vet guy for a playoff push, improve on the wings. Allows further moves if they so choose.

Fox/Mitchell
Haliburton/Davis
Barnes/Harkless
Washington/Bagley
Horford/Len

Hornets trade-Washington, Plumblee
get-Holmes, Schroder, Bruno Fernando

Charlotte adds a center that fit them to a "t". Schroder provides a huge boost to bench scoring.

Ball/Schroder
Rozier/Martin
Hayward/Oubre
Bridges/McDaniels
Holmes/Richards

Celtics trade-Horford, Schroder, Bruno
gets-Buddy, Plumblee, Ramsay

Boston adds a couple of young guys to try out, add a backup center and add desperately needed shooting. Take on more long term salary.

Smart/Pritchard
Buddy/Richardson
Brown/Nesmith
Tatum/G.Williams
R.Williams/Plumblee

Langford is such a waste of physical attributes and talent !
Reminds me a lot of Joe Forte and will be out of the league playing overseas soon ...has no drive or fire

I don't think it is even that bad he is playing 18 mpg, if we got him at the end of the first round its fine he is probably going to get a contract in the league in the mle range. I am strictly down on his trade value as a former lottery pick.

Langford has no trade value. That's his fault and the organization's fault.

I'd listen to the full quote before saying this means it's dead.

Full pod, he doesn't guarantee anything. But he clearly wants a supermax
