PHX wanted a 1st for Tucker, which is a dumb deal for BOS. If nothing came out of here I'd expect them to make a push for Bogut once he gets bought out. Really outside a star deal buyouts probably more likely than trades to start with.Not even a rebounder or a PJ Tucker type defensive bench wing? Christ.
I think it was more of a short regional dream.Our long national nightmare is over
You should have listened to me days agoAll this and all we got were some cheap emojis.
All hail E5. You were spot on.You should have listened to me days ago
But he was trying not to beAll hail E5. You were spot on.
I will admit to being disappointed that the JaMychal Green rumors came to naught. He was just what the doctor would have ordered for this squad given that there was going to be no shakeup on the wings.Not even a rebounder or a PJ Tucker type defensive bench wing? Christ.
He got traded with Doug McBuckets and a 2nd for Cam Payne and garbage.Really wanted someone today. Anyone. Taj Gibson woulda been nice for rebounding
Ugh.Tucker has been traded to Toronto.
Yep, that's a miss. Rozier especially seems pretty replaceable for BOS since they are keeping this pick.Ok, but maybe we could have beaten that shitty offer the Raptors made for Tucker. Would have been fine letting Rozier go.
That's weird to me. You need depth and assets to chase stars, PJ Tucker would be the 4th or 5th guy in a wing rotation. He'd barely get any minutes in the playoffs then he's gone.Yep, that's a miss. Rozier especially seems pretty replaceable for BOS since they are keeping this pick.
There's always next season. Trader Danny needs a new nickname.Woj reporting Celtics standing pat.
Rozier? Woulda used him for Gibson or PJ tucker. Raps just moved back ahead.He got traded with Doug McBuckets and a 2nd for Cam Payne and garbage.
So we really could only have done it with Marcus since we don't have any other PGs who can't shoot on the roster to offer CHI.
Bogut going to cavs or spurs most likely.picking up Bogut after buyout > trading Zeller + picks?
if they can convince him to come to boston over cleveland or houstonpicking up Bogut after buyout > trading Zeller + picks?
Which would be a double-chicken burrito bowl from Chipotle.Ainge has examined the menu, asked the waiter about substitutions, and decided on the usual
Even back when Bill Simmons had a good feel for the NBA, his made-up trades were the worst.Bill SimmonsVerified account@BillSimmons 28m28 minutes ago
My prediction (if it happens): 2017 Brooklyn pick (no protections), Crowder, 2018 Boston 1st, future Grizz 1st + Zeller/Young for PG-13.
Rozier can shoot. Also salary cap implications make a Rozier trade for Gibson difficult.Rozier? Woulda used him for Gibson or PJ tucker. Raps just moved back ahead.
Most of us only claimed one of those things... Not the composite you built.My post is more satire than sarcasm. Those are all things I have read from more than one person on this board in the past couple of weeks. I don't mean to merely denigrate those who hold those opinions, but I feel like there is a serious disconnect between some folks and how well this team has played. Now, I would surmise that most of that has to do with the divide over whether it's worth being anything but a "legit" title contender, and if you aren't that, you're better off being a .300 team than a .600 team, but I think it still bears occasional reminders that the Celtics are a very good team right now, even if they aren't likely to beat the Warriors, Spurs, or Cavs. And, you don't get to be a very good team without some very good players.
meant Zeller + picks for Bogut (original post should have been clearer)Bogut going to cavs or spurs most likely.
Per the above, tucker would be backing up crowder and move ahead of brown in the rotation in the playoffs.
This would give the Larranaga Family Crazy Eyes the publicity they deserve:Maybe Bird's holding out for Stevens in a PG trade

Where is it though? Has to be a player who would actually get minutes for us (so basically has to be a big) and there has to be a salary match, AND they have to be expiring.... not a lot of guys fit that bill. Bogut was one, but he got moved in a bigger deal. I'm a bit surprised they weren't able to work out a Zeller/Min 2nd for Bogut deal, but... meh they'll probably take their shots in the buyout market instead.The idea that there was nothing for a couple of 2nd round picks that could have helped the Celtics is baffling.
When the Celtics are being out rebounded to lose a series to Toronto I'm going to die.
Here you go.Even back when Bill Simmons had a good feel for the NBA, his made-up trades were the worst.
Someone should compile a list.
