Spend Wyc's money: your quasi-realistic off-season

[Roy H.]

Scratch Lowry.  Most recent reports are that the Heat are going to keep him.

It would have been really great to get him as a veteran leader. We need a voice on the roster that has actually won a championship (sorry Al). Having Cassell helps a little, but it means so much more when it's a teammate with that experience as opposed to a coach.

Counterpoint: he’s an unlikeable turd

Wyc doesn't have much money, comparatively speaking... he is one of the least well-off owners in the NBA. His net worth is "only" $400M... but these other NBA owners are worth billions...

His net worth has been listed at $400 million for at least a decade.  He's the majority owner of a franchise valued at $4 billion, which is also one of the most profitable teams in the NBA.

I'm definitely not making excuses for him. BUT, *if* he is cheap.. this is what he could be telling himself to be cheap. The Warriors spent a lotttt to keep going so I hope he doesn't play games and goes for it and pays a big tax, even if just for a year or two.

I'd still go after Lillard.  He is likely available and Boston has the best package to offer (with Brown).

[goCeltics]

My plan would be similar at this stage but I would try and sign Taureen Prince to the TMLE, and Thomas Bryant and Kendrick Nunn as Vet Minimum Free Agents, as well as Walsh and Davison. End up I think just below the 2nd Apron with 14 players, with enough room to add a pro-rated free agent before the playoffs I think.

Tatum
Horford
KP
White
Brown

Brogdon
Prince
R. Williams
Bryant
Nunn
Pritchard
Hauser
Davidson
Walsh

[goCeltics]

It's not just Wyc, he has partners, and they are paying i think around $100 in luxury tax this year

[jmen788]

Would anyone ponder the possibility of trading Kornet and a protected 2nd round pick for Jokic??

In that case , let's go Get Jerami Grant

[DBCooper]

Offer Reaves the max he can get

[goCeltics]

Eric Gordon got released I wonder if they do and try and squeeze underneath the 2nd apron whether they will look to offload Pritchard, with his salary the Celtics can afford 2 vet minimum guys.

Looks like this 2nd apron is really going to squeeze the NBA middle class, major stuff up by the Players Association.

This scenario might occur if they want to use the TMLE, not necessarily on Gordon

[smokeablount]

Smokeablount Culture:

-Sign & Trade Grant for $12-15M TPE + four #2’s.

-Trade PP + two #2’s to Washington for Monte Morris.

-Sign Josh Richardson for the MLE.

-Sign Torrey Craig for the VM (Vet Min).

-Sign a VM Big, not sure who. If left with no options, Blake did fine eating reg season minutes last year.

-Sign Walsh for 4 years, $3-4M.

-Another year on a 2-way for JD to keep him cost controlled longer.

White/Morris
Brown/Brogdon
Tatum/JRich
KP/Craig
Rob/Al

Deep Bench: Hauser, Kornet, Walsh, VM Big, Open Roster Spot

Can’t pay Grant, but improve 2-3 reg season rotation spots and replace Grant on the cheap with an older less impactful version in Craig.

If we do go over the 2nd apron, I hope we make it worth it. The only difference between being $1 dollar over the 2nd apron and $20 million over is the amount of tax you pay, so if you're gonna go over this year then do everything you can to make the team better and retain options for next year (in other words, re-sign Grant both to play him this year and to potentially trade down the line)
