Rumor: Three way trade C's/Minny/Rockets

[jbpats]

Heard on Felger and Mazz and didn't see it posted yet - they didn't say the source but assume it is probably not reputable..

C's gets CP3
Rockets gets Wiggins
Minny gets Hayward

Personally i think i'd do it. Hayward and Paul are 1A and 1B for worst contracts in the NBA but CP3 fills a bigger hole on our team. I know he is old but he is a vast improvement over Rozier, especially if we need to sign rozier in the 18-20 mil range.

I also think a pass first pg is what this team needs. It will potentially get Tatum more open looks and eliminate the hero ball game we gravitated to all last year.

It also gives Hayward a fresh start, I truly wish the best for Gordon and feel he'll never be what he once was in a Celtics uniform.

It’s a fake rumor

Besides having seen nobody credible report this, it seems like a rare lose-lose-lose

Except maybe for Minny, due to length of contract

[Surferdad]

CP3 will cost $120M over the next 3 years.

Yuck.

Why would the C's want CP3's contract? We are letting Horford walk over money, so CP3's salary isn't something we would be interested in without getting a ton to take it.

What picks are we getting?

[slamtheking]

hideously bad deal.

CP3's a shell of his former self and is owed more money for more years than Hayward.  No sense whatsoever for the C's to make that deal

[Silky]

lol, NOPE

[celticinorlando]

Chris Paul's contract is worse than Hayward's. No way they touch that dude.

[ETNCeltics]

Chris Paul would be great.....for the 20 games he's healthy.

lol no one is taking his awful contract.

This rumor is based on a tweet from a blue check mark. I can't find it because I'm at work.

But in the tweet, he jokes that he is making up the rumor, and that it is his idea. He then replies to a couple commenters saying he can change the rumor to be whatever they want it to be, because it's made up.

Lol that's the fake trade that was making the rounds as a joke.

I would actually rather bring Big Baby Davis back to Boston before brining Paul to this team. He would serve little purpose and if we want to make sure Brown and Tatum leave in a few years, Paul is the perfect guy to bring onto our team to keep the chaotic atmosphere in full swing. Paul would guarantee we are not players in the 21 free agency year as well. 120M for 3 years...wow, why not do that trade and sign Horford to 100M as well and then crucify Ainge for cap strapping our team with no way to win a title.

Probably fake, I heard it was started by Robot Dave which toucher and rich reported is a fake account with no basis in reality.
