Trade Deadline Rumors and Deals Thread

[Donoghus]

Boston putting everything (including the success of this season) into the future basket of AD. I just don't like that. Too many variables.

Rock bottom is going to be if they lose Kyrie and AD is traded elsewhere. Then we are right back where we were a few years ago...collecting young players for the next big deal.

Not necessarily.  They have a timeline and not panicking to what's going on around them.   They have a long term plan.  Guessing one that includes a move for AD and one that doesn't.  They're not going to deviate from that just because MIL & TOR perceivably improved today.   It's not Danny's M.O.

But how does Kyrie feel about that?

Yes, it's not the time that Brown and Tatum (and obviously Williams) are in their primes, but Irving certainly is. We made the conference finals twice in a row, a second round exit is a step back.

Beats me.  I'm not in his head. And I'm not going to project like half the posters on this board.

I'm also not that worried about him walking yet.

so 44 minutes left to add Vucevic.

I remain hopeful

I also want Vucevic to the Celts.

Giving up Rozier, Baynes, and Yabusele will not hurt the chances of the Celts getting AD.
The question is what kind of pick will the Magic be asking for?

Doesn't Baynes have a No Trade Clause.  Doubt he'd waive that.

Not a trade clause, but the Celts would have to ask for his permission.

Boston needs to create roster spots for buyouts. Bird, Yabu, Semi all need to be sent packing.

[Donoghus]

This is like two years ago when a bunch of people were clamoring to trade Jaylen for Serge Ibaka.

People want to be in on the fireworks.  As shortsighted a move it might be. And if they don't get the fireworks, there is frustration and fury.

I'm here to crush your hope. Ain't happening.

I so wanted to see Rozier traded today. Think is the cause of all problems in the locker room and on the court. He is selfish, a liability on defense and a walking minus player.

have a tp

[Silky]

so 44 minutes left to add Vucevic.

I remain hopeful

What's your offer for him?

Rozier, Morris, Bird and Yabusele

clear roster spots for buyouts, gives Orlando a test run on Rozier prior to offering a large contract to him.

We pick up Ellington and another bigman of waivers.

Smart goes to bench, Brown to starting lineup, Hayward controls ball o second unit.

I don't think it's wise to trade Morris now.
He's been the most consistent Celtic this season.
Celts are going to need his scoring in the playoffs.

I'm with you on this.

people are so worried about Kyrie not resigning if we don't get Davis.  We have to get Kyrie off his current deal before we can get Davis anyway.  If Kyrie resigns (which I can't see not happening), then go for Davis.  If he pulls a shocker and leaves, C's still have some terrific young players, a hopefully-recovered Hayward and 2-4 first round picks (depending on what happens with Memphis and the Clips) to add more talent. 

I'd love to add Davis but the cost makes me a bit leery that adding him guts the team and throws off the chemistry for another year or more.

Wasn't Zubac one of the pieces they were offering for AD?
