Don’t get me wrong, I love Timelord. TimeLord is just not reliable.
Don’t know how far the Celtics are going to go but if TimeLord goes down I don’t want to watch TT and Wagner in the playoffs.
Need another big body

Dieng and Olynyk are much better options for us right now than Drummond, who every Cavs and Pistons fan despised

KO and Horford are long shots to get bought out.
Right now it’s Dieng or nothing

But if Timelord goes down you're probably screwed either way. You might be screwed EVEN if he stays healthy too but thats a different issue....

Re: It's a Tragedy to see the Deadline's Over Post Trade Thread
It's going to be an interesting finals between them and the Nets. I hate them both. I don't want the Lakers to pass us up, but I freaking hate Kyrie. Brooklyn has more talent, imo. I think they'll win.

Re: It's a Tragedy to see the Deadline's Over Post Trade Thread
Depth means absolutely jack **** when you have thoroughbreds in today’s nba. You just refill the team through buy outs and it’ll continue to be this way.
Sure, this guy are flawed and have terrible contracts but if they can come in and play spot minutes and share minutes with studs it doesn’t matter

Eh, we picked Yabu two spots after Romeo and regretted picking up his third year option and outright cut him after his second year.
If Romeo looks like ****, I’d be worried if I were him.
He's much higher upside than Yabu and already showed way more than him in his first 300 NBA minutes. I think you're way off here on Langford. He was getting rotation minutes as a rookie in the playoffs before he had to get surgery on his wrist. Yabu was a victory cigar.
2.5/1.3/0.4 on 43% TS and a -4.9 BPM. He really didnt show much.

He is a recent lottery pick. I think a team that like the c's that needs movable assets would just pick up the option and hope, after all his fourth year is 5.6 million, not picking it up and replacing him with a minimum guy saves you only like 3.5 million odd dollars. So its not like there's a huge opportunity cost. The front office, by all accounts, loves the guy.
I think he would have to look pretty much unplayable not to have his option picked up, like worse than he looked in glimpses last year.
He’s shown literally nothing and is always hurt. If he looks bad the rest of this year, I cant see a tax paying team willfully tossing 5.6M at someone whos shown absolutely nothing.
With no real other avenue of obtaining a high lottery pick I think they stick it out with him until the end....we need one of Nesmith or Langford to actually pan out considering we won't be picking in the lottery anytime soon...
I like Langford. I would trade him to swap Kemba and TT for Horford.

Re: It's a Tragedy to see the Deadline's Over Post Trade Thread
I just think it's neat and sends a good signal to other players when a headline name chooses to sign with you. The more players the Nets or Lakers get, the more other guys say, "oh yeah, those are the best teams and I should go there too." And the rich keep getting richer.

We were a much different team then. That was summer of 2018 when the teams biggest problem was TOO MANY GOOD PLAYERS (remember those days). We had a roster crunch problem on a team that many thought would be a competitor, so no point in saving a spot for another low upside young guy. And we also had about 6 first round picks due the next two years.
A completely different situation then the c's are in now.

I like Langford. I would trade him to swap Kemba and TT for Horford.
Also side note. We would be essentially trading Kemba, TT, Langford and a first for Horford and 20 million in space which I assume we we then use to resign Fournier. Who we spent 4 second round picks to get. So all in all:
Kemba (our 2019 max slot, who we let Rozier walk to open up), our 2020 MLE, Future 1st Round Pick, the 2019 14th pick, 4 second round picks, Hayward (who was leaving anyway but still)
For
The last two years of the contract we didn't want to give Horford the first time, Fournier at 4/80 for ages 29-32, 11 TPE left over from Hayward,
Thats an indictment of the front office for sure it it came to pass.
Further side note, leaving Romeo aside I think Kemba, TT and a 1st for Horford is about the right value. The C's save about 19 million that first year, and 11 million the second year. But the second year is also only 14.5 million guaranteed so you could save an additional 12 million by waiving Horford that year. Or he could be a pretty useful matching salary at that point. So thats between 30-42 million saved over 2 years. Thats actually a lot to save with only a single first round pick, but Kemba is still a better player than Horford so that has to be factored in too.
