Trade Deadline Rumors and Deals Thread

[Fierce1]

Anyone else sad there wasn't a Rozier trade...?

Hard to be sad right now when everything is pointing to the Celts getting AD in June.

The move to sign a player for the MLE is an indication that Celts getting AD in June is close to a guarantee.

[footey]

Comical. Everyone in the East improves by a huge margin but Boston....who is pretty much just waiting on
AD.

Really a very frustrating thing to see....an no I do not think they can win the east as constructed. Bench is a liability.

While the assets that were going to be used in a deal are declining in value.

That Clippers pick and memphis pick AND the sacramento pick have all lost value.

So Danny will have to sell the farm to try and get Davis...


This can be crippling to franchise long term...

How in the world did the memphis pick lose value? They didn't get any young prospects or anyone that can help them in the next year. Their one young piece is jackson.

The Memphis pick we got is a golden egg IMO.

No way the Pels will agree to an AD trade without that Memphis pick.

NOP will want every single pick, and at least 2 young pieces, and salary to match.

but that pick will not convey for 3 years.

if we can get away with just giving Tatum and Williams as the young pieces and throwing in Kanter/Ellington for salary matching, they can have the picks (assuming the ones we make this year are for NO's benefit). 

Adding Davis to Kyrie, Brown, Smart, Horford, Healthier-Hayward is a [dang] good core to fight for a title.  Keeping Baynes, Theis and Morris helps that frontcourt and possibly Rozier to solidify the backcourt.

NO will want Brown too. We need to beat Laker offer.

Tatum, 4 first rounders and a mle  get it done?    a new pelicans gm might want to make his own team through the draft and around tatum.

Other pieces have to be involved for salaries to match.

Yep. He is not the Scary Terry he used to be.

[rondofan1255]

Monroe to Brooklyn for a 2nd according to Shams

[celticinorlando]

It is time for Hayward to turn the corner. No more of this timid BS. Get it together. Boston's success this year and next depends on having a Hayward that is worth a [dang].

ainge isn't doing that with picks.   i honestly think they just want tatum more than a pu pu platter the lakers gave them.   tatum is an allstar soon enough.

I don't think Ainge will give up both Brown and Tatum.

Tatum and 4 1st rounders will be enough to beat the Laker offer.

Detroit will be among the most aggressive teams in trying to sign guard Wayne Ellington in the buyout market, league sources tell ESPN.

[Fierce1]

Still can't believe the Celts traded a Bird to the Hawks.

right on.  i honestly don't see danny trading smart or brown  though.   those dudes just fit too well with the ad team.

No idea what this means

Sources: Despite dealing Jabari Bird, the Boston Celtics will not avoid the luxury tax this season. Boston is now likely to use their MLE to sign a player to a big two-year deal, with the idea of having the second season as part of salary matching in a trade for Anthony Davis.

It means we don't want to trade Smart to NOP

well that is obvious, I cannot see Brown being a part of the deal either.

Need brown cause Hayward will be offered for Durant.

Oh yeah, its a thing.

Durant is going to want out, GS will not want him joining Lebron and will look to sign and trade.

If team gets Davis, it will happen

Is it a thing like us trading for Vuvecic was a thing? Because sign and trades under the new CBA are hard to pull off since it requires the player to give up the birdrights max.

@wojespn
The Bulls and Robin Lopez are expected to engage soon in talks about a possible contract buyout, league sources tell @malika_andrews and me.

[gpap]

If we can get Ellington and Kanter for shooting and size, I'll be a happy camper.

At this point I'd call NOP and ask who they want off the buyout market for this summer
