Hey Guys lets all laugh at this hilarious trade proposal by the Celtics

[Sixteen]

Laughable. I'm not sure I would have any interest if it didn't include the #3 pick too. Would anyone here be excited to move Noel for Smart and one mid/one late first round pick? I wouldn't.

Boston has nothing worth Noel..

[Hardcore6erFan]

Tony Wroten, #35 and #37 for Smart, #16, #28. Am I doing this right?

[The76thDegree]

The rights to swap top 59 protected second round picks in 2034 and 2078 for smart,young and ITs third metatarsal. If not conveyed by 3859372 then it becomes future considerations

This is not that surprising. As a longtime Sixers fan in Celtic territory, this is the type of thing Red Auerbach used to do to try and build up the value of his players, and make himself seem like a genius. Every pre-draft and near the trade deadline, there would be rumors of ridiculous one-sided deals. The Jazz were always offering Darrell Griffith and a first for Greg Kite (stiff personified), for example. Ainge has always tried to be Auerbach II. Fans in the '80s remember the late night fire alarms at the visiting team's hotel, the no air conditioning game against the Lakers, the usual "Kevin McHale is seriously injured and will not play" but plays anyway crap. Ainge has worked the same way, remember the severe but fast-healing Paul Pierce injuries? Boston fans and sportscasters love this. Ainge is trying to get the local kid and showing how valuable Smart is. Not going to happen, but it gives the fans/trained seals something to clap their flippers about.

[jpizzle]

This trade is like the trades i get offered in fantasy basketball...PURE SH*T

[zeebneeb]

Don't you guys love these types of rumours? It then gets compounded by fans of other teams, saying something so idiotic, you can't help but laugh.

US Piston fans apparently were after hardaway jr, and a Knick fan said, a fair trade would be hardaway #4, for drummond #8.

This Boston fan, may top that one. Lmao.

[LongLiveHinkie]

Ainge calls Hinkie and offers that deal:

[Chamberlainship]

Executives said teams with multiple picks are trying to trade some of them and move up in the draft. The 76ers, for instance, have six draft picks — one in the first round and five in the second round, Nos. 35, 37, 47, 58 and 60 — and may look to package some of those or even sell a few of them.

I don't put stock in pre-draft rumors from "league executives," but I hope we don't just end up selling these assets for cash unless we intend to use the cash on a player.

I hear the new practice facility could use a copy machine.

[Agnostifarian]

The "Ainge Offer" is preposterous in it's own right. On top of that, I wouldn't deal Noel to the Celtics on general principle. Nerlens would swat us out of the playoffs for years to come. I couldn't bear it!

They can keep Marcus Smart. I hate all of their scrub ass players. Olynk is one fugly looking, greasy, alligator armed Austriosaurus! That's enough... next topic.

[PhilasFinest]

SO supposedly Kelly Olynyk was part of the deal too, along with an unknown 3rd player.

Smart,Olynyk 16 for Noel and 3.

Still laughable imo.

That kinda makes it even more laughable lol. Olynyk is a goof

[Sixerscan]

Pretty insulting

[Kobblehead]

People always talk about Hinkie pissing off GMs around the league, Ainge with his insulting lop-sided offers is probably even more despised.

BOS fan here, and this was my first reaction.. but this tactic can work, especially around draft time. Player values are not fixed things, it's a way to sow doubt.. Like, wait a minute, did we evaluate Smart wrong? Wait a minute, did we evaluate Noel wrong? Even if it inflates Smart's trade value by ten percent, and deflates Noel's by ten percent, that's a plus.. And there are plenty of green GMs.. Maybe this is a leak to make Vlade Divac second-guess himself..

[the_process]

I think nowadays that rumors of bad trades should not actually affect values. It certainly affects fans perception, and I could see Ainge leaking that just to show progress as far as asset consolidation goes. But understand, that rumor will anger Smart and now Ainge has to put out fires with Smart and his agent. And perhaps Smart's agent has other clients, and the next time one of those other clients negotiate with Boston the agent has the Smart situation in the back of his mind. It's a strategy with a small upside and a big downside.

[spikeslovechild]

Knicks fan here. Love what you guys are doing wishing the Knicks would be willing to do a complete teardown like this.

What about crash and smart for the cap space. I could see the Celts needing his space should they get a commitment from Love. Leonard. Aldrige. Butler. Gasol. Etc.
