Predict the Trade Deadline Contest

[sgrogan]

Could someone please confirm precisely how far above the lux tax line the Cs are now (assuming JB doesn't make the All-Star team as a replacement)? 2 TPs to whoever does -- thanks.

I'd like to know too.
According to Spotrac the C'ss are currently $-2,777,853 over the cap with JB's $1,928,571 likely to be earned incentives.
It has been reported that this consists of 2 components.
All-Star (or all NBA, All Defense, MVP, DPOY) at approx. $1.4M - JB made the All-Star team last year.
Games played (65 games) approx. $500k - JB's 58 games last year prorated to 66 games.

There was also a report that the games played incentive is tied to the All-Star. So all or nothing. Other reports don't tie them together.

So, no precise, no TP, but I have been searching for weeks for a definitive answer.

1. Celtics trade Schroder and Langford to Chicago for Coby White and Matt Thomas.

2. Celtics trade Dozier + cash to OKC for Protected 2nd round pick

3. Celtics trade Nesmith and Freedom to OKC for Kendrich Willams

4. Celtics trade Langford, Fernando, and a 2nd round pick to DET for Hamidou Diallo.

I like these moves, but we still need some back up size ofr our bigs and I think OKC would want draft capital for  3  to happen.   I like 1 the most  but not sure if I would want Thomas.

re: 3.... I dunno about that. Williams is a nice player, but Nesmith has more upside. Nice for OKC tto net a recent lottery pick in their continued long-term plan.

re: 1 -- has to work that way for the Bulls to stay under the lux tax.

footnote: could a deal built around Smart and John Collins ACTUALLY happen? I'm starting to wonder........

No Trades...."We like our guys".

I have a feeling this is how it’s gonna play out as well. Roster tweaking will be done during the offseason, with perhaps Brogdon as a realistic target.

Man, I really hope we don't trade anyone.

I've been saying this for about a year and a half now but; I feel like our core doesn't need THAT much tweaking. It just needed to get playtime together, learn to play without a big star, and fight through some adversity.

Imagine in 2 years, winning a title with JB, JT, RW3, Smart and Grant.

How sick would that be.

(I'm not saying that's going to happen. I know it's a stretch. I'm saying try to imagine making it with 100% homegrowns. How crazy would that be!!!)

I would love that. I would also like to add more scoring from the bench, preferably a shooter and a backup 7 footer.

Wouldn't do the last one? Holding out hope Langford wakes up from his perpetual in-game nap? He makes Jeff Green look like Al Pacino.

I’m just not a diallo guy. I look at that as pretty lateral and unnecessary. I don’t hate Romeo, I could see him developing into a solid guy.

Celtics acquisition :TJ Warren, Ty Jerome

Traded: Smart, Langford, PP, Freedom

3. Celtics trade Nesmith and Freedom to OKC for Kendrich Willams

4. Celtics trade Langford, Fernando, and a 2nd round pick to DET for Hamidou Diallo.

I'm going to make a modification to mine based on recent developments in a trade that doesn't involve the Cs. I'm going to replace #2 above with a different trade. So my new list is:

1. Celtics trade Schroder and Langford to Chicago for Coby White and Matt Thomas.

2. Celtics trade Fernando + cash to NOP for Protected 2nd round pick

3. Celtics trade Nesmith and Freedom to OKC for Kendrich Willams

4. Celtics trade Langford, Fernando, and a 2nd round pick to DET for Hamidou Diallo.

Disagree -- I think Diallo would be an excellent fit on the Cs.

 I saw on a YouTube that Indy is open to dealing Hield. ( I dint know league rules on this stuff) Does anyone see a positive trade for both teams ? ( Celts snd Pacers). I can’t really make up a deal I believe both would do.

I don't think there's a salary match for us.

Romeo, Nesmith, and JRich works in trade machine but a massive overpay...
