Get Lou Williams

[SHAQATTACK]

With Gordon out , he would be a huge asset to picking up the scoring slack for the bench . 

They are  ganging up on Tatum , because nobody else can hit shot .

I see it differently. Tatum is ganging up on double teams by passing up a perfectly good shot and dribbling into traffic.

I don't think Rozier is a problem. He's great off the bench at times. We could've used Smart in last night's game because he would've hounded Curry. We just don't need Smart's offense.

As for LWill, he may be too expensive but we need to find scoring....Tyreke Evans should also be strongly considered.

These offensive droughts cost of that game last night. Curry went berserk but I can point to many offensive opportunities that we just flat out blew....including Horford's missed bunnies. We need to find a way to sustain a lead off the bench and not ask Theis, Smart or Larkin to be the go-to guys when that's not their role.

Tatum may be losing his legs, so I expect him to be up and down until after the AS break.

I don't believe Ainge will make any trades involving any starters this year. The only move I see is a  few picks or the DPE. Let's just ride this season out and see how far this core can get without Hayward.

The one interesting guy that we may be able to get on the cheap is Rodney Hood. Others are

Evans (versatile and a big guard)
Mirotic (stretches the floor)
Matthews (Smart with a shot) - Didn't Ainge want him before he tore up his knee in Portland?
Monroe (gives us scoring on the block)

I like Evans (if we can keep him long-term).  I am lukewarm of Mirotic (no D).  Matthews is horrible post-injury, so NO thanks.  Monroe I would love OR Chandler IF he gets bought out.

What makes you think that we could get Rodney Hood "on the cheap?"  He has a 14.7 PER and is solid.  I DOUBT that the Jazz will give him away "on the cheap!!!"

I still want to make a move for Vucevic!!!  I don't care that he is out until the All-Star break.  He is on a very cheap contract thru next year!!

If he doesn't do nothing, he will waste the DPE and waste a year of Kyrie, Horford

Fine you don't want to give up a 1st...team still has lots of 2nds and rookies like Yabusele , Larkin , Nader they can dangle

Danny needs to/has to make at least one move by the trade deadline

I may be misreading future draft picks owed but I don't think the C's have "lots of 2nds" to dangle. In fact, I don't think we can trade a 2nd until 2020.  Our 2018 and 2019 are protected, but owed in deals with OKC and Memphis.

What I mean by cheap is maybe a few 2nd round picks and someone like Nader. Hood isn't worth a 1st round pick and what do they plan on paying him? They have a lot of redundancy.

As mentioned in post above yours we don't control our own 2nd rounder until 2020 so a "few" 2nd rounders may not be practical.I think a 1st (our first) + Nader for Hood and a 2nd from them might be good.

Hello Jerry, this is Danny. (click)

Hello Jerry, this is Danny. (don't hang up)

Ainge: Since you're blowing things up, let's talk Lou Will.

West: What are you thinking?

Ainge: Smart and Celtics 2018 #1. You can pair Smart and AB again

West: Let me sleep on it and call you back

Ainge: I will just call you back

I think now, if LAC is truly planning on a rebuild, the Cavaliers can offer Nets Pick + salary for a DeAndre Jordan + Lou Williams package. WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR US...

[LRNation_]

Would it be worth it to also pry Jordan?...
I'm sure he's quite expensive though.

Between Tyreke and Lou, who would you choose?

I wouldn't be surprised to see that deal, but include IT with the Nets pick and salary.

IT and Bron cannot co-exist. Bron doesn't want anyone handling the ball more than him, why do you think Kyrie is gone.

IT and Bron can co-exist. Give them time. IT will adjust. He JUST got back from injury.
