I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

the Celtics have approximately $9 million to sign Smith.

since when do we have 9 million?

seems like we are just a hair under the cap. Seems like we would have to ship out zeller, and some others to get cap space.

Smith's Agent using the C's as leverage on Cavs contract....he aint coming here.

Can't be worse than Hunter and Young (playing wise that is), but I doubt Danny would sign him given his bad attitude. ::)
Most likely, J.R. and his agent are using us as leverage

For a good price I would actually like it but like others I suspect this is all a smoke screen.

OH, HELL NAW!!!!!!!!

More scoring. I doubt this happens though.  It would maybe swing things in our favor but what would we give up? Bentil and a 2nd round pick and have to cut 2 players anyways?

Yeah, there's no way. The C's have to cut players, not take on more contracts.

Would he even be better than Gerald Green? Not happening.

It's a lousy smokescreen since we don't have any cap space or roster space, and there's no great way to clear that space.
