Brown for Sabonis and a 1st? who says no

[Sophomore]

Sabonas’ stats are much better than I thought. 14 pts, 9 boards in 25 minutes; more importantly, TS% of 63% and ORR of 21%.

That said, if we could actually pry Turner loose I’d prefer that. He’s a lot longer, much better defender, doesn’t seem to need a lot of shots. Hust don’t think he’s available.

How about yabu and 2 second round picks for Alex Len?
Len is about to get even better than last year

[Birdman]

Ainge not trading Tatum or Brown unless its for Towns or someone like that

[MichiganAdam]

I really like the sabonis idea.  I would do brown straight up, but if we could entice them with rookies and/or yab and a pick or two I'm for it.  I think I'd even do memphis pick, as I think it will be 2 years before we see it.  I really like the idea of
kemba/smart/langford
brown/smart/edwards
tatum/hayward
hayward/williams/semi
sabonis/williams/fall or execption big

Ugh, I'm a Sabonis guy but don't think I can trade Brown for him. Does Indy have anyone's pick that will be a lottery pick in the next2-3 years? If we were getting a lottery pick back even it was most likely a 10-14 pick than I could be swayed.

It occurs to me that Robert Williams plus a pick might get Sabonis. Williams has the potential to be a player that can be on the floor next to Turner. I really like Williams, but there are other rim protectors available out there.

I say no.

I say a huge no.

[ETNCeltics]

Zach Lowe said Indy was committed to both their big men, so it's probably a moot point.

If the Celtics valued big men like Sabonis, they'd draft some. They almost never do.

Simply looking at it from a contract perspective, it would have to be either Brown for Sabonis or Smart/Yabu for Turner. Brown and Sabonis both need to be paid next year, while Smart and Turner have already been paid.

Ditto.

Sabonis makes half what Brown does. It's not really a match.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Indiana is looking for a running mate for Turner. They've already committed to paying him. Sabonis is going to cost too much to keep as a backup center. They really need to move him for someone who's a better fit.

Another NBA live level trade with no basis in reality.

Agree. I wouldn’t do it either. Wonder if they’d take Langford, Edwards, Yabusele  and Bucks pick for Sabonis? I doubt it, but would give them a lot of future cost control.

I don''t think we would offer Edwards in that deal.

Yeah, I really don't think he's just some throw-in. I, and I think DA is with me, value Edwards similarly to a first round pick. So 3 first rounders, including a lotto pick, for Sabonis? Seems premature of us

I can't get over how overrated Jaylen Brown is.

Marcus is sorta, but at least he's been here for so long and has paid his dues.

Brown is a good player, but his game still has weaknesses and he has some growing up to do.

He's also not as talented as Tatum or Hayward.
