I think he would be a great fit with the Jay's but I doubt Atlanta has any interest in trading him.


Would Robert Williams and the Memphis pick be intriguing enough?

Or maybe find another team. To help...

Let's say Atlanta says yea we will take Williams and Memphis pick but Boston has to take bazemore.
Could we find a team that would do a sign and trade with Morris or rozier to create space for Boston to absorb bazemore.

Atlanta gets: Williams, Memphis pick
Boston gets: Collins and bazemore
3rd team gets rozier + pick #14 from boston

Bos lineup
Pg-smart/mle
Sg-brown/bazemore
SF-Tatum/hayward
PF- horford/semi
C- Collins/baynes

It would at least start with Tatum, but I doubt they want to move him. He’s awesome

Yea he is prly untouchable.....

I just wish someone could tell me what the heck the Celtics are going to do.

They should prly go young and ship out Hayward and horford but.... They could keep them and use vet presence to make a playoff run and who knows maybe Hayward or Tatum clan learn to play the 4 or brown play point...... The team has talent but they do not seem to fit well chemistry, position, or age wise

I think Horford legit wants to stay. I think he’d fit the team rebuild or not. I do think he deserves a shot to win a title though so I wouldn’t not be shocked if he gets traded at some point.

Hayward would be the candidate to get traded but his value is so low right now it will be near impossible to get rid of without attaching multiple picks to any trade or taking back bad contracts.  Best bet is he starts of the season well and they can trade him for something decent.

They’re building around him and Trae.

I wish, but I don't even think JB and the MEM pick would get it done...or Tatum. I am not saying he is definitely better than our guys, but he isn't exactly on the market so you'd have to pay a premium to get him.

There are some intriguing young bigs around the league right now. Hopefully we can hang on to Horford, but we are going to have to hit on somebody else now that AD isn't coming to town.

These posts are silly.  No ones giving us anyone unless we’re giving up something significant

I don’t get why he would be available? The Hawks ate building around him and young.

If anything Hawks related, we should at least kick the tires on Dedmon.

Better chance to try to pry len

I like Len, he was a draft binkie of mine, and he seems to get better every year, adding a really nice 3 point shot last year (he hit 74 of them at .363 - not bad)

Had no idea he'd been cashing threes! I'd kick the tires on either him or Dedmon - would help Al out a lot

John Collins, is overrated...he isn't a true rim protecter and his over defence is poor

The best player on the Hawks is Kevin Heurter, he's the one worth trading for...but why would a early rebuilding team give up any of its assets?

Lol, Kevin Huerter is a far worse prospect than both Collins and Young. Hell, he was even worse than Prince
