If he gets bought out by the Cavs (or any team for that matter), we can sign him via the minimum salary exception.Quote from: Fierce1 on December 04, 2019, 06:42:16 AMLast season the Celts had the MLE to use on Kanter.But Kanter chose the Blazers because of the promise of more playing time.This season the Celts have no MLE or Room Exception to offer.So the Celts are at a disadvantage when it comes to bidding for players who are bought out.Only way the Celts will get the big they want is through a trade.You said it yourself. Kanter opted for the Blazers cause they promised him more playing time. That's our selling point this season. We need a starting-caliber defensive Center. If Thompson wants to play big minutes in the playoffs with a view to maximizing his value in free agency, we might be the ideal fit for him. Certainly a better fit than the Lakers.

Last season the Celts had the MLE to use on Kanter.But Kanter chose the Blazers because of the promise of more playing time.This season the Celts have no MLE or Room Exception to offer.So the Celts are at a disadvantage when it comes to bidding for players who are bought out.Only way the Celts will get the big they want is through a trade.

Sources say they would be interested in making him part of this growing core. Thompson’s a great leader and role model for the young guys, someone who embodies what it means to be a Cavalier. Both Kevin Porter Jr. and Darius Garland have said they have no clue where the team would be in the first month-plus without Thompson and Kevin Love. 3 days ago – via Chris Fedor @ Cleveland Plain DealerI don't think the Cavs will buy him out.He has significant trade value.

Its near impossible to match his salary in a trade without sacrificing one of our core guys like Smart or Hayward.I agree.Tatum, Kemba, Hayward, Brown, and Smart are untouchable.It just doesn't make sense to trade any of those 5 core players.Celts can only go as high as 18m, that's the limit.Any player with a salary higher than 18m cannot be traded to the Celts.

Champagne taste on a Beer budget!What the a Celtics could actually afford is going to be someone like:Nerlens NoelJakob PoeltlThon MakerAnte Zizic But sure, keep telling me how Myles Turner is going to wearing green come January!
So there are “reports” that raptors are interested in bringing Tristan Thompson home. Not surprising given their bad stretch at home .If that trade was to happen ... it gotta be Marc Gadol plus filler plus pick (s) for Tristan and maybe Clarkson ... After the trade Gasol would most likely get bought out....Is there any chance we can bring him here? He’s fallen off a cliff. Averaging worse numbers than our bigs and horrible 33% field goals. His PER is 8.73 which is way below average. I’m not sure how’s his defense holding up. I was just surprised to see him struggle so much.
Gosh, love to have Harrell but Clips not trading him
