Rumour: C’s May Move Schroder

[slamtheking]

Maybe then it'll force Ime to use Pritchard.

trading a better player to force-feed an underperforming player minutes is poor reason to be making a trade.

rumor bogus as far as I can tell. Based on other teams saying the Celtics could be considering it.  Somehow Keith Smith translates that as the Celtics saying he's available. Bad journalism. Click bait.

Did I say it was even close to being the main reason?

only reason you provided.

if Schroder is traded, I suspect PP won't see much more playing time, especially if he's not hitting shots when he's in the game

I think this is legit.  Ds has been great but he can't be kept and isn't a great 3rd option.  The cs need some assets in they want to make a deal to upgrade the team.

This sounds less like a rumor and more like a thing that a lot of people see as logical. It's been a conversation since Schroder signed the deal. This is not news.

What kind of package would people want/expect for Schroder?

If we could get a late first, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd then use that pick plus our own pick(s) to go after Simmons >> Siakam > Christian Wood > Jerami Grant. Don't think Schroder can fetch a late first though.

I'd expect us to receive lowball offers involving second(s) + possibly marginal cap relief. If so, I'd just keep him. Very few teams will have cap space next summer. We may get lucky once again and re-sign him via Early Bird Rights. Or we may dump/cut Horford's partially-guaranteed contract and gain access to the non-taxpayer MLE.

What kind of package would people want/expect for Schroder?

I would hope a first is possible.  His contract is very cheap, so virtually every team could be in the market for him.

I reckon a 1st from a contending team is definitely a possibility. I wonder which teams are a good fit for him

[todd_days_41]

Everyone but the Jays Tatum and the Williams Bros should be available

Brown is untouchable? Anyway, fixed it for ya.

Brown should be untouchable unless being traded for a clearly better player. Trading Brown for two or more lesser players should never happen.

As you know, I don’t totally agree. Anyway, sorry was just tryin’ to get a rise out of the JKJB crew 

It was good to see JB back in uni last night — let’s hope it stays that way.

You don't trade Schroder to make room for Pritchard but the point is that Pritchard does provide some depth to back fill if Schroder is traded.

I am not sure if it is worth it to trade Schroder for a pick, especially if it is a pick from a contender.  We would need to get a player, probably a big, perhaps in a 3-way deal.

I don't take this "rumor" very seriously as several others have said.

They should try and get something for him. That was the entire point of getting him for so cheap. Otherwise, you just lose him and get nothing in return.

off the top of my head, I'd think if we're lucky, the best asset we'd get in a deal of DS to a contender is a late first rounder.  any player coming back would be salary balance and likely just taking up room on the other team's bench.  I don't believe there's any contenders that have the cap room to take on DS's contract without sending anything out. 

do we need yet another bit?  we've got some that can't get on the court as it is.  we'd be unlikely to get one of any real ability coming back to us in a deal.  I'd love to be wrong on that but I just don't see it.

If we could trade him for a first I would do it in a heartbeat. I very much doubt anybody is giving us a first for a part-year rental of DS - he doesn’t come with Bird rights so the acquiring team will have the same problem we would retaining him.

What I want more than anything is DS out of the starting lineup and out of closing games. If we can’t get anything for him, he should be playing on 2d unit, where his ball dominance isn’t such a problem. If you want the Js to pass more and play a team game, you want DS out of the starting lineup.

I mean, you get a year of a good player who helps you win games right now. That's not nothing.

Define “wins you games”. This year is a transition/throwaway year. They basically said as much during the summer. There is no point in keeping Schroeder for the entire season just to lose him for nothing. They can get something like a late first etc for him. He’s not a long term piece so I don’t see what value keeping him for the entire season brings you.

I don't know, what's better a play in game appearance or a lottery pick?  Winning a few games might actually be a negative depending on your desired outcome.
