There is a lot of basketball still to be played but it looks like we should be a getting a top 5 pick with the nets pick. I was thinking recently about if crowder could move to the 2 and we use Bradley as a trade chip instead? Do you guys think it would be a good idea? It could open up more minutes for hunter and young later on? My thinking is a draft night trade that has us sending Bradley out for assets (hopefully a center) drafting Ingram and moving crowder to the 2. But could we also use him to package up with sully and others to trade for any star that could be available soon? Just bored and thinks about the Celtics lol  ;D

Everyone is tradable but idk about Crowder at the 2. I would try it in stretches first before slotting him there.

well anyone can be traded. But Ainge would have to get a really good return to move AB. AB is a hustle guy, does and says all the right things, plays D, gets better every year and is locked up on a steal of a deal contract. I think we would have to get a clear upgrade to move him. Like Jimmy Butler. Also, I think Crowder would play the 4 before the 2.

I like Bradley but I think he's reached his limit. By he beginning of the year showed how could he could be. But being inconsistent and injury prone you'll never get that consistently. No prefer smart on the floor over him.  I think Rj hunter could fill in nice as the off the bench guy if Bradley is traded.

Good attitude, good defense, good jumper, good contract
Undersized, below average ball handling, limited offensive game

Funny thing is as good as a defender as Bradley has been in his career I'd say he is the third best wing defender we have, crowder smart
We need upgrades at different positions so I'd assume everyone our the Celtics can be had
My preseason trade bait was sully Bradley and pick(s) for a big.
Right now I'd say crowder is our only lock as a starter

Depends on WHO the trade envolves for me.  AB is fun to watch.

I d let him go in a package for a serious young big ...like Townes , AD , Drummond , maybe Noel.

So many stars are awful team players .  I just don't want to see the Celtics play ISO ball all game. I can't watch a Rockets game it's line driving 45 mph , I fall asleep watching Harden shoot threes and free throws for 48 minutes.

I agree I really enjoy how our team plays the game. I'm trying to think of a young big that might be available and worth it. Hopefully we could use him to move up in the lottery if we get unlucky (more than likely) with the nets pick or he could be a nice piece for a bigger trade for a star.

Smart-Crowder-Ingram-KO-FA? With IT off the bench that would be a good unit elite defense from our guards and hopefully center scoring and floor spacing from Ingram and KO I would be happy at least.

If you trade Bradley it's to get a better asset, not create space for Hunter and young.

Just saying one of the benefits is to open time for our 2 first round picks who aren't getting any

Fait enough. So rj is under contract for what  4 years? Is that right? Do whatever you need to do to develop steph form and pierce clutch. Trade bradley for VERY high first rounder as part of a larger deal which further short-term weakens a certain whipping boy divisional rival?
