Rumor: Celtics trade with Bucks, Middleton and Monroe...

Do not want!

Oh cmon. 16 and 23 and another dude for Middleton and Monroe is an easy win for us.

Bucks fans on Reddit don't seem to give Gery Woelfel much credence, but then again I can't imagine they'd be too happy about this deal...

That other player could be some one drafted with our seconds too......  Amir, JJ who knows.   

All these deals could be in place if these other teams are close to signing a big FA.  L

Boston ends up with middleton, monroe and noel?

So we get Monroe, who couldn't play next to Drummond, and Noel, who couldn't play next to Okafor. What a fantastically convoluted way to completely implode.

I cannot tell you the extent to which I do not fear putting talent on a roster with Brad Stevens. I really can't

Things I do not fear

Sword weilding maniacs....I got a ranking in all three olympic fencing weapons. (A C ranking in saber. Not overly impressive in the world of fencing) Give me a broom or some scissors. I got this.

President Trump destroying the world...sure he will. Sure he will.

The media. Ruuuuunnn. It's the media!

Cops. No reason to be afraid of them.

Alien invasion. They don't even answer our calls let alone invade us. 

My wife with a credit card and hundreds of dollars in her hands. Really. I have nothing to fear. Nothing whatsoever.

Giving coach Stevens talent.

Wait, what??!!

I misread. That would be an unreal steal.

Probably like us dissing Sherrod even if he reports something true.

We'd have to match salaries, right? What would that mean for outgoing players?

I dont believe we would.  Boston has the cap space to absorb as much as they need to

Exactly right.  Because we are under the cap we do not need to match salaries in any trade.

Neither Detroit nor Phily had three shooters like Thomas, Bradley and Middleton on the court at once - that largely offsets any front court shooting concerns.

Noel would be the perfect guy to cover Monroe's defensive limitations, and Monroe actually improved his midrange jumper significantly last year (remember hes only 25 too - not yet a finished product).

Monroe is a far less one dimensional player then Okafor is.  He can pass, rebound, get to the line, and has a better jumper.  Okafor can do nothing bar score in the post.

Also if getting Monroe/noel and middleton is enough to raise Durants eyebrow, then who cares? 

Thomas/Bradley/Middleton/Durant/Noel would be nuts, and wed have the chance to try and move Crowder, Bradley ànd Monroe to the bulls for Butler.

Thomas, Butler, Middleton, Durant, Noel.

Sign me up!!!

When is the last time Sherrod reported something that turned out true? (and I mean when he wasn't the last one to learn)

I don't see any evidence that Monroe improved anything. His shooting has been all over the place, and isn't appreciably better now than it was 2 or 5 years ago. And he still takes the bulk of his shots within 10 ft.

Amir and Jonas together only get you to 17. Maybe a sign and trade or something, but maybe with the salary cap going up it's not such a big deal. Plus you don't have to pay the picks. Further we have space. We only have like 52mill spoken for

We have money why do we need to trade contracts? We can easily take on 30 mil in our current situation.

To me the deal would make more sense if you took Monroe out. Smart, 16, 23 for Middleton.

Not in any likely trades at least...
