Ranking the Cs most likely to be traded before the 2021 deadline

[todd_days_41]

Here's my take (most likely to least likely, with % likelihood):

Edwards (31% chance traded)
Teague (30% chance)
Ojeleye (25%)
Green (21%)
Langford (20%)
Thompson (19%)
G Williams (16%)
Theis (15%)
Walker (14%)
Smart (11%)
Nesmith (10%)
Timelord (5%)
Pritchard (2%)
Tatum (0%)
Brown (0%)

Timelord the untouchable @5% lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think he's very unlikely to be traded. I know others disagree, but I believe the Cs are really high on him.

I'd Put PP and Neismeth much higher. A rebuilding team would be targeting young guys and picks not Teague.
I'd also put Smart at a higher %, from that list he's one of the few players teams might want.

Is this why he’s getting only a handful of minutes a night against other teams reserves? Danny also waited to literally the very last second to pick up his 4th year option ( at least not until he had one good game at season opening)...

  I think we aren’t likely to make a move this year now. Not being critical but maybe it makes sense to wait until next year snd have less time on Kemba’s deal and have a better idea of what Theis will cost. It’s not much at all but we’ll have 1 more 1st rounder, at least.
  I think bevcause zkemba’s knee he’s not going anywhere and I think Danny would ride with
Kemba
Jaylen
Tatum
Theis
Thompson
Smart
Pritchard
    I think Rob Williams would excel elsewhere in the right defensive system like Indy if he could be healthy. Good passer.

Ya never know, Danny Ainge tends to pull something unexpected. He might even trade a key rotational piece the same way he did to Perkins in 2011!

Here's my take (most likely to least likely, with % likelihood):

Edwards (31% chance traded)
Teague (30% chance)
Ojeleye (25%)
Green (21%)
Langford (20%)
Thompson (19%)
G Williams (16%)
Theis (15%)
Walker (14%)
Smart (11%)
Nesmith (10%)
Timelord (5%)
Pritchard (2%)
Tatum (0%)
Brown (0%)

Just about right.

I’d swap timelord and theis
Theis fits the system and plays smart. His value to the team is greater than his trade value.
Timelord is all upside. The c’s see that potential, but so does everyone else. In a league  that loves to bet on upside  his trade value is greater than what he brings to the table.

[Birdman]

All be available except for Tatum and Brown

Waiting until the required date is simply good business.

Has Danny ever traded one of his first round picks in their rookie season?

Teague useless filer / roster spot opening fodder.

This is the reality on the Cs trade block:

JB/Tatum: 0%

Everyone else: 100%

Agree!  Although, I really like Payton and his potential.  I think I would put him at 5%.

The NBA trade deadline is March 25 this year. The Celtics have 3 trade exceptions ($28.5M – Hayward)($4.76M – Kanter)($2.5M – Poirier). The team looks like it has taken a step back, and needs to improve if they have any desire to contend. Over the past few seasons at the trade deadline, Danny was reluctant to make any significant trades to help the team make that extra push into title contention. Danny was far too concerned with the team’s future and the potential promise of those draft picks. The max players that were part of that group are gone now, and the only one remaining is a shell of himself (Kemba). Now it’s up to those foundational pieces in Tatum and Brown. I’m asking myself the following questions:

Does Danny finally push his chips forward to help improve the team at this deadline?
Can this team win this season, without a legit big man? The Celtics may not get out of the East with Embiid, Adebayo, or Antetokounmpo.
Did Danny already miss his opportunity to go all in to win another title?
I have been furious the past few trade deadlines when Danny did nothing. I can’t imagine my frustration level if Danny sits out another trade deadline.

What do you expect him to do with the TPE? Unless he badly overpays he has to wait for the right deal. Is it worth sending multiple first round picks for Harrison Barnes? Is it worth sending 4 first round picks for J. Collins ?
Most of his options are to be a part of a trade where he takes on unwanted salary that fits the TpE ... there is nothing out there yet. There are names thrown around like Drummond and Griffin but their salaries are too big. He just have to wait.
It’s unfortunate that there is always an excuse to not make a deadline trade but it’s just the reality.
Last year the excuse was that we didn’t have enough tradeworthy contracts to match salaries.
This year the excuse is that there are no trade worthy players to utilize the tpe .
2 years before that the excuse was that we didn’t know who to move and that we had too many mouths to feed.
