Report: Celtics still looking to utilize trade exception?

[gouki88]

Get Moses Brown cheap probably

He might be the worst passer in the entire league. One of the worst in league history.

92 games played. 1298 minutes. In that time he has 12 assists. Just 12. In the same time he has 66 turnovers. An assist:turnover ratio of 1:5.5. Simply awful.

But not the absolute worst:

Anybody remember that dude?

96 turnovers, 4 assists

If Boston truly wants to compete for championships then there is no reason to let a TPE expire just because of cost.  Now sure, if you don't find a player that makes sense that is one thing, but there are reportedly guys out there available that would fit into the TPE that would, if nothing else, provide some quality depth and insurance.  There is no reason Boston shouldn't be making moves.

Agreed!
What are the names you have heard reportedly available that are realistic and at what cost (ie draft pics, etc)?

Duncan Robinson is certainly available and the C's might get an asset to take the contract.  He'd be a nice shooter off the bench. 

I'd see what Detroit had planned for Noel.  I'd ask the Kings about Holmes and/or Len. 

And of course the big wild card is the Clippers and all those wings.

What would adding Robinson cost?  And extra $80 million this season?  More?

Also it is highly debatable if he can even play in the playoffs. He also has like 3 more years left. That would be a full blown disaster.

Yeah....not my money and still not worth it.

Anyone filling that role would cost that, but if the goal is to win, you make moves like that.  I'm not sure the team as currently constructed is good enough to win.  They should absolutely go for it this year and they can cut costs next summer if it doesn't work.

[ashanm10]

If you are not gonna do anything with the exceptions etc turn them back into Picks if thats possible - have to use it somehow lol not just expire without nothing

[goCeltics]

Can't see who they would get i be happy with a vet minimum guy like Whiteside or Dwight or Boogie, Unless they can find someone they think is undervalued and a trade asset somehow

I would be into that more than Robinson. Really anyone except Robinson. We are helping our conference rivals get out of an extremely bad contract for a guy that would maybe be a 10th man? That is just awful.

Noel
KO
Terrance Ross (only one year)
Favors
Birch

Mo’s idea of Len or Holmes are also good.

Heck I would even rather take a flier on saric
 I would probably even rather have Fournier back at this point. At least we don’t care about helping the Knicks out right now.

That Robinson contract is a poison pill.

It is at this moment the worst contract in the nba. Wall has been bought out and Westbrook is now expiring. Horford is also now expiring. There are some that could surpass it, like beal, lillard and butler off the top of my head. I’m not sure who else is currently close to the Robinson contract.
