Hooray! Rather than get a potential difference-maker off the bench in a wide-open East we get to pick 28th in the draft OR have a potential asset for an Anthony Davis trade that we all know will NEVER happen... I’m annoyed by Ainge’s stinginess...

And on the other side of this, what the hell is Wallace thinking turning down Yabusele and two seconds for Evans and insisting upon a first in this market, especially after sitting him out for five games waiting on a trade? Memphis fans are ticked lol

Joe Johnson, IT (i doubt he is returning even if he is bought out, I don't see him starting alongside Kyrie nor would he accept coming off the bench)

anyone else?

So besides a desperate Cleveland, who traded away 1st round picks for rentals?

It's not Danny's fault. For whatever reason, picks are really really valuable right now. Legit players, quality rotation guys with potential are getting flipped for second rounders.

The value of that 28th pick isn't the player we would draft with it, necessarily. It's the player we could trade it for in June. And given the way the market is going, that could be someone pretty good.

And if not, we draft in the most cost-controlled position in the draft.

And watch Yabs become a star for us! Holding onto a player that is going to leave for nothing is not always the best move when you are not fighting for a playoff spot. They didn't get the Don't Play Poker With Danny Memo....

No GM thought a few month rental is worth a first, not a single one.

This is the correct side of your post.  If the Celtics hadn’t gotten Monroe, I could have seen them trading a 1st for Evans using the DPE.  It still would have been an overpay.  But to trade a 1st round rookie on top of another 1st?  That wasn’t going to happen.

At this point think Boston is going to the buyout route

Joe Johnson? I'd like him.

I was thinking that also. Just heard IT does not want to come off the bench in LA...might be bought out there

I think Magic will sit down with IT and work something out.  It’s better for both sides.

We still can't get IT back right? Does it matter if it is from another team after we traded him, or is it still a year?

If he’s waived by the Lakers he can be signed by us this season.  Which would be amazing and no one would ever trade with Danny Ainge again.  Although I think Brad should make the first phone call to recruit him if he becomes available.

Well, honestly, the first post was before the Yabu/two seconds report came out, which makes it a bit more  understandable. Previously the rumor going around was some combo of Semi, Nader, and Larkin. Losing both Yabu and the 1st is a tougher sell. I probably would’ve went for it given the context of this season, but can’t really blame Danny for not wanting to give that up for a rental.

But, yeah, this is going to look pretty bad for Memphis when Tyreke doesn’t re-sign and Only hurts their tank by winning games for them.
