Trade Deadline Rumors

[Celtics2021]

Curious about the "anything left in the tank" comment I saw about Otto.  He's only 27 years old, I would think he has plenty in the tank.

He probably has enough, and I'm on record as willing to start him, but he's been hurt for a few years now, so I get the concern.  For example, in the last three seasons he's had 8 dunks total, compared with averaging 20 dunks a year the prior 4 years.  It's one sign of some reduced athleticism/explosion.

Rondo is fascinated with LA.

He'll help them. And he still gets his money. I'm happy for Rondo.

Oklahoma City now has a projected 34 draft picks over the next 7 years.

17- First
17- Second

I don't know why anyone cares how many 2nd round picks some team has. 1st? Yes, sure. They are valuable. 2nds have hardly any value especially if not in the top 10-15 of the 2nd. The final 20-30 picks in the 2nd round (40-60 picks in a draft) are not worthless but they are close to it.

Why are the seen as some impressive asset? Who cares.

The 1sts - that is impressive.

Raptors (Lowry) is stuck imo

Robinson is a UFA next season.  So is THT. 

So is Olynyk and Schroeder

If Sixers offered Maxey. That was probably the best bet

Depending on his chemistry with the players/coaches/management, Rondo's control, IQ, toughness, and ability in the half court is one of the very few low-cost moves that could have had a high reward for the Celtics.

It has just been finalized by the Clippers (in exchange for Lou Williams) and for similar reasons (as the Clippers suffer from similar toughness/4th quarter woes as the Celtics), I think it could be difference maker.

VO is going to the warriors. Oubre has been given up on again. He is a good piece for the Rockets. IMO

RT @KeithSmithNBA: Per a source: the Boston Celtics are still engaged in deals. Mostly looking to clear a contract or two and maybe dip back under the luxury tax, while opening open roster spots for the buyout market.
