I was always a fan of Dean Wade. He's big and active. He'd be good coming off the bench. He can defend the forward spots and center. He fits right into the TPE.

Are you giving up a 1st for him?

He has been hurt this year, why his shooting is off some.

2 seconds..  I don't see him as a starter. I see him as a flexible bench guy.

Wade is having a bad year so far so maybe only a second round pick into TPE.

he has been injured.  Cavs like him and are competing. I thinknit takes a 1st at this point. Now maybe at the deadline price is lower

Not sure he is what we need. More of a PF/C than a PF/SF similar to Horford. Better than Kornet I suppose.

And really more of a PF than a C. More of a one position guy. Does not have the shot-blocking / rim protection of a center. Better when he plays alongside a true center.

If we were going to spend a first on someone, I'd rather it be someone with a more divergent skill-set than the current guys. An athletic SF/PF. Not a much worse version of a guy who currently performs ths same role (Horford).

The Celtics would not be able to sign Gordon Hayward if he was bought out by the Hornets.

Boston, or any other team over the tax apron, can only sign a buyout player if they made less than $12.4 million (equivalent to Non-Tax MLE) on their previous contract.
