Buyout/Free Agent Thread, 2023-24

[Scarletfire81]

Damn, Knicks are going to be a tough out in the playoffs. Can’t say I’m upset by that, Knicks deserve a chance for once. Lol

Dallas has basically traded w/ Washington using an IOU. That's kind of nuts, I'm not sure if I've heard of that before.

Washington told them to get draft compensation from team X to pay for Gafford. I assume Dallas has something in the pipeline otherwise they'd get held hostage, but still really interesting.

I still fully expect Brad to trade our 2024 first, so wouldn't be surprised if he gets involved in one of these last minute trades.

Edit: looks like OKC and Presti are coming in to finish the deal off for Dallas. I've always wondered what Presti was going to do with all his picks, turning some into swaps is actually a really interesting/smart play. Bit of a gamble, but with his asset chest he can afford to.

So are we done or no? No need for more specialty players imo. We have too much of that on our bench already. So let's get a scorer and teach them to play defense or get another defender and have them watch Curry torching us so they're ready for the playoffs. Problems solved, where's my paycheck Bradley?!?!

[Ben-N1ce]

Celtics need to upgrade Pritchard.

I think we are done unless we can somehow get Caruso. That’s highly unlikely.

[Jellybeans]

Damn dead silence no trades.
3 more hours

[shackles10]

This is for YOU, Brad Stevens.
T-minus 5 hours, and Counting . . .

I prefer my Tedder Pendergrass to be the ones where he's yelling at me as much as singing to me but to each their own lol

Yeah, I hear you. -- He didn't get to do that, when he was with "Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes".
He had to breakaway and go solo for that. Which turned out to be good for Teddy.

I'm good with Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes too though. Really though talking about Philly soul should be the only time we say anything nice about Philadelphia around here. Philly soul related, but The Roots did a nice remake of the song you linked to with John Legend several years back.

I'm still holding out hope for Kris Dunn.

Danny is selling non long-term assets and Dunn is expiring. Olynyk/Fontecchio already out the door, Kris could be next.

[Green89]

No word on Caruso or Walker means they are still in play.

We don’t need Dunn. What’s the point

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

Hurry up Brad get rid of Jordan Walsh and all picks ! We don’t need any of these garbage stocks

I don't know how realistic Caruso is for us, but also don't feel it's him or bust for Brad. There are smaller impact moves I could see him pursuing with the Grant TPE especially, just have no idea who's willing to play ball on that TPE either.

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

Brad Steven’s + Owners
+ Mazzulla and Jordan Walsh for 1st round pick ?

[CelticsPride18]

Vasilije “just as good as Brogdon” Micic got included in the Hayward trade

[Froob]

They probably won't do it, but I'd trade Bropez to try to get a two way wing, if I'm the Bucks. Make Giannis full time center.

Dunn is an VASTLY better defender than Pritchard. Could be a really useful asset to have, especially if Payton gets targeted to the point he can't stay on the floor.

He's also having a solid offensive season, so not necessarily a one-trick pony.

Brad Steven’s

The name Brad Stevens has no apostrophe in it.
Other than the Irish names like O'Toole, I'm pretty sure there are few last names with apostrophes in them.
Apostrophe are used for contractions and/or to show possession of something.

[Celts17Pride]

I think the Celtics only go after Dunn if Pritchard is including in another trade for a wing but who knows?

I disagree. It's very much like Aron Bayne's.

interesting idea, don't know where they could look for that.
they already have Jae Crowder though?
