Brian Robb: "The [Poirier] move opens the door for the Celtics to salary dump Enes Kanter’s $5 million in a separate trade with Memphis tonight if they desire."
Do it!
Robb is just speculating, because the official terms of the trade haven’t been announced.
I hope something like that does happen, though. We can use the trade exception more than Kanter right now.
Part of me is wondering if clearing roster spots is a precursor to taking on more than 1 player in return for Hayward? Obviously pure speculation on my end as well!
We have 18 after Wanamaker got cut. Tacko and Waters are two ways. And that includes the 3 rooks, but Madar might be a stash guy.
So we're at 15 including Hayward and two. 2 way contracts.
Kanter could be gone for a spot for a Hayward trade. I think we still need to bundle a couple guys up and move them for one player of picks.
