Shams: Porzingis to Boston?

[bdm860]

Reminds me of when the team traded Perk.

Ya we got a better player, but we're losing the back bone of the team.

[radiohead]

Give Brad credit for not running it back.
He has first round picks to make more moves

Still can move brogdan if needed

Still has options with grant

We wanted fireworks, Brad gave us some! I’m expecting more moves.

I find it best to have a stable, reliable backbone. Smart was far from that.

I think both Brogdon and PP will be elsewhere next season.  .

so is the next step to sign chris paul and/or trade for another guard? they cant have pritchard as their third guard all season long.

[jpotter33]

Well, we have ammo now. We need a solid fourth big, a backup wing, and I’d still like to upgrade the playmaking at guard. Let’s see what tomorrow holds.

This hurts almost as much as the IT trade… 

[tenn_smoothie]

I'm trading Smart and keeping Brogdon all day long.

So, did Porzingis pick up his option ? If not, this is all moot, right ?

[0003323344]

Love all the love for Smart.

How 'bout losing Gallinari, who've been a diehard Celtics fan growing up and never even got to sniff a minute or second on the floor in a Celtics uniform. Just to get traded. Yikes. The media pitchforks will come out and say we're disloyal for not keeping a guy who tore his ACL and never getting to play for his diehard team.

Not that I'm oppose to it...it's all business, and I am for losing Gallo for a key contributor like Kristaps.

Would have been intriguing to see him play but then he decided to play for Italy and got hurt.

Porzingis picked up his option.

We hardly 'lost' him, given we never saw him suit up

I would trade Pritchard.

I am happy with JD Davison as 3rd string.

I find it best to have a stable, reliable backbone. Smart was far from that.

Also, we hear all of this talk about Smart being the "heart and soul" of the team.  Yet the team constantly had its "heart and soul" questioned. 

Just saying...

[RPGenerate]

That Warriors pick is an absolute wild card. An old team, with one more year on their tires, as well as possibly losing a key piece in Draymond? With limited avenues to get better? That could easily be a lottery pick.

Total speculation- could a Lillard trade be in the works?  Horford and Brogdon gets it done financially.  Throw in Pritchard (the pride of Oregon.)  They now have picks to add to sweeten the deal.
