Oklahoma City 2018 first-round draft pick that Minnesota will receive from Utah in exchange for Ricky Rubio is top-14 protected ...

George Hill likely to walk.. wasnt he good buddies with Gordon Hayward?

boy, i thought rubio was good enough as a pg to merit more than a late first round pick with a ton of protection.

show you what i know.

There are good trades for the two teams executing them.

I think this is bad for both.

Clears the way for Minnesota to chase Kyle Lowry. If that goes through all the sudden the T Wolves have pulled off the type of build many of us hoped the Celtics would have.

Thibbs finally got himself some talented veterans who can defend their position to place around his emerging young MVP candidate. Potential 3rd seed in the West if things gel right(and of course if they can pull Lowry)

 He can't shoot. This is the new NBA.

So now.. Hayward ultimately could have three choices here.

MIA: Dragic & Whiteside + Waiters/Johnson + Spo

Boston: IT & Horford + Smart/Bradley + Brad Stevens + Maybe George?

Utah: Rubio/Gobert + Snyder

From this aspect the Celtics actually look the worse.

i wonder if this means thibs is going to go hard after rondo

Yeah it kind of does LOL. Yikes.

Miami might be an even bigger threat than we thought.

But not sure what going from Hill to Rubio really does for Utah.

Eh, lottery protected for 3 years isn't terrible.  Should convey in the late teens or early 20s one of those years.

Hill was one of the guys Hayward wanted resigned, this might be a plan B for them, and it mightnotbe a good one. At lest not for them. 😁

Uh you got to be pretty insane or trolling if you think Rubio/Gorbert is more appealing than Thomas/Horford/Bradley/Smart/Tatum + maybe george

How can you even explain that?

Or Lowry or both.

Do the Heat have bird rights on Waiters? If they don't I don't believe they can get both Waiters and Hayward. I am also not sure how appealing a 31 year old dragic and Whiteside is. I mean there is a reason the Celtics won 10 more games than the Heat and also have more young talented players improving (Brown, Tatum, Smart, Zizic). From a purely basketball standpoint pretty hard ti figure how someone would think Miami is more appealing.

It puts them in better position to bring back Ingles - who Hayward also really wanted resigned... And who shares an agent with Hayward.

Your move, Boston.
