Suppose Atlanta wishes they had all their picks and Gallo's salary back? They probably don't win the bidding either way, but this is the guy you go all-in for.
I think he goes to Phoenix for Ayton+ (Bridges?)...you don't trade a 1st for Royce O'Neal if you're not planning to be good
I don't think the Celtics will be in since unless we add Jaylen we don't have the juice, and I don't think Brad adds Jaylen.
However..... huge trades with big salaries are a nice thing to have happening when you're a team with a couple big trade exceptions

Are there BYC considerations there?
Someone---may have been Hollinger or Duncan---said that Golden State is not a completely insane trade partner. I don't think that's really viable, but it's amusing to consider.
I have a feeling that the Nets are pretty much done making any deals with the Celtics for the foreseeable future. I'll bet they've had enough.
Wow. Anywhere but Miami. I can’t handle another smug Reilly press conference. I’d prefer if he took his talents to the Western Conference.
GSW are probably the best trade partner in the league in terms of young talent they can offer, but unlikely for obvious reasons.
Phoenix, Boston, mayyybe Miami. Not sure if Memphis has the pieces. But if he wants Phoenix, that’s where he’s going.
Miami too. Fucker.

Bam, Herro, and picks would do it maybe.

Goddamn. Nothing beats the NBA when it comes to DRAMA.
I should follow this sport way more than I do.

The best way to follow the league is during the offseason, re-engage at the trade deadline, and watch the playoffs. The vast majority of players don't seem to really care about the season, so I'm not sure why the rest of us subject ourselves to it.
A PHX deal is almost certainly based around a maxed out Ayton and Bridges. I think the appeal to Ayton is he's getting maxed and he's going to a nice big market. Plus Kyrie might get shipped out.
I also think it's PHX. DeAndre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and draft picks would be my guess. Then BKN shops Claxton.
The Pierce kg nets won the same amount of playoff series as durant kyrie and the Celtics have now destroyed the Nets franchise twice.
When this was first discussed during the Kyrie stand-off, my immediate reaction was I’d easily give up Jaylen for Durant.
But Durant’s going to be 34. Say you get a year or two of prime Durant before he starts to break down or retire and you have to rebuild. Is Tatum going to want to stick around for a rebuild and extend his contract? As long as the Jays stick together, the Celtics will always be competitive.

Rockets fans are going crazy because of all the Nets pick and swaps they have, but Kyrie-Curry-Bridges-Simmons-Ayton feels like a workable starting 5.

This. This could be fantastic for us as part of a 4-team deal where Durant ends up at a place that he wants (or at least can live with) and we get a good player because we can eat. I expect that Brad has already let Marks know to keep us in mind.
If you're not at least 65, you sound it.The best way to follow the league is during the offseason, re-engage at the trade deadline, and watch the playoffs. The vast majority of players don't seem to really care about the season, so I'm not sure why the rest of us subject ourselves to it.
edit: I hope that sounded playful...

You don’t worry about the future if you can pair Tatum and Durant together. You’re gearing up for an incredible 3-4 year run where you have a good chance of winning a title.
This is going to do wonders for his legacy after joining GSW. Now he’s running away from the team he assembled.
And Kyrie is so toxic that even his friend wants out now.
