Woj: Celtics Trade Tristan Thompson To Atlanta For Kris Dunn, Fernando + A Pick

[ManUp]

GM Brad might be just as effective as Coach Brad, wow.

How much do we have to resign Fournier now below the tax? Someone give a breakdown.

Seems like Dunn was improving but has struggled with injuries. If he's healthy, he's a heck of a defender to be adding to the team and another guard who can defend up if need be.

It is funny that I wanted to trade Walker and Thompson, but finally don't love how we did it. Loosing Sengun or Jones to unload Kemba or taking Atlantas end of bench guys for Thompson.

And I don't see at all the fit beetwin Smart Dunn and Langford. Hope Udoka ask a lot Smart to play hero ball with this offensive teamates...

Sorry to be negativ lately but I don't see either progression or projects in this moves. I know Thompson value was close to nothing but enforce a rival isn't the right move for me. Hoped that we could  use Thompson contract with assets to find a better PG or PF. Disapointed. The 9M TPE could still be usefull next off-season.

So now you may be right and we could try hard to resign Fournier. OK let's see.

This is a great deal IMO.  Keeps the cap flexibility for next year.  There is no need to sign a FA guard now.  I keep stating this is a bridge year for the cs.  No long term money. 

Dunn is a great backup guard.  Worth more then his contract if he stays healthy.  New TPE for next year.  Good job Brad and zarren.

Hopefully Celtics don’t cut Moses Brown..that be a “huge” mistake

[MattyIce]

Sacramento is acquiring Tristan Thompson as part of expanded three-way deal, source tells ESPN

[PAOBoston]

Sounds like it is a 3 team deal. TT to Sacramento.

[Birdman]

Sounds like it is a 3 team deal. TT to Sacramento.

Thats good..don’t want TT in Atlanta but I would trade him to Sac for Wright straight up…but TT probably be starting and in California so he is happy

[footey]

Sounds like we could have gotten Delon Wright for TT??

[Rikibellevie]

D Wright would make much more sense for me.

[GreenEnvy]

Just happy to get Thompson off the team

[td450]

After what happened with Plumlee and Favors, this is an excellent haul. Saving money, getting a TPE and getting Dunn. This does appear to mean additional moves. I did not expect Stevens to consider moving Smart, but if he can stay on the court, Dunn is the closest player to Marcus Smart in the league.

Would they get a guy like Dunn only to play when someone is injured? He is worth playing, but not at the expense of some of the other guys

[blink]

I am pretty blah about this move.  TT was going to get traded, not excited about Dunn, but we have another trade exception! yippie.

I guess saving some dollars is important for some future move.  I guess??  Maybe??

Went on BBReference and noticed Bruno Fernando's full name:

Bruno Afonso David Fernandes Fernando

That's a mouthful.
