Update: C's make strong offer for PG13 (weei)

[rondohondo]

I could be wrong, but I don't think that PG can sign an extension and be traded, and even if he could sign an extension, would be severely limited in the raise he could get. Larry Coon's faq says that a player cannot be extended and traded in the last year of his deal, or what could be the last year of his deal.

So if we can't get PG under contract before or at the time of an Indy deal, we'd be dealing for him on blind faith.

We're giving up a #3 overall pick for a guy who has been telling anyone who would listen that he wants to go to LA a year from now. The same time when Lebron will be free to go to LA with him.

ainge can't do it. The minute he does the deal, he has no leverage, no anything with PG. Would be almost as dumb as NJ giving us those picks to begin with.

If Danny has a plan, which he does , this is just the first shoe to drop(1b I guess with the philly trade).

#3 AB ( wont be able to re-sign ) crowder and Rosier for George

This doesn't mean we have to trade them in the George trade, we can send them out and get decent picks , rookie deals back)

You can then sign Hayward


IT
Jaylen
Hayward
George
Horford

As a core

With brk pick and LA pick to come


You could also trade AB and JAe to the Knicks along with the brk/ LA pick if you really want to go all in and grab porzingis.

Phil said he wanted two starters and a good pick, there you go.

It.      Smart
Hayward.   Green
George.       Jaylen
Porzingis.    Ring chaser
Horford.         Zicic

Porzingis still on rookie deal

[heyvik]

as much as I like PG, I dont think it happening.

[mef730]

All-in. This is why you get SO many picks.

#3 + MEM19 for Porzingis
Sign Hayward
LAL18/SAC19 + Bradley, Crowder, Rozier for George

Now we're at:

IT/ Hayward/ George/ Porzingis/ Horford
bench: DJax, Smart, Brown, Theis, Yabusele, Zizic, #37

...and we still have the Brooklyn pick next year & no Bradley to re-sign.

I still don't see how we pay everyone next summer, but [dang], not my money. That's a team that would win a *championship* and then get the #1 pick.

You traded Zizic.
Also would have an astronomical team salary next year.

Yup, my bad. I posted too fast and kept editing.

I agree about the crazy salary implications, although 4 max guys plus all reasonable salaries might be tenable for a year or two. Luxury line is about $120M and we'd be fighting to stay under $150M.

Maybe if the "Big 4" start taking small paycuts, or we accept that IT is gone next summer and Smart is getting the keys.

Keys to Smart, to be followed shortly by Luka Doncic.
