2019-20 Boston Celtics Season

You could work your way using cap matching rules (though involving other teams gets more complicated even if just from a timing standpoint). For example (as I've seen suggested), you could trade Kanter and Semi to OKC for Roberson. Roberson plus pick for Capela.

TBC, my intent is only it highlight the math of it all. Not suggesting OKC would want to be a part of that (though if they find a taker for Adams, maybe they WOULD want Kanter).

Sure. Though there is an argument that Theis is the perfect fit for what they do and under your control next yr (vs having to pay Kanter when he opts out).

For the math, though, either would work.

Never trade The Captain. Nice win tonight, things got exciting late but nice to see Hayward leading the charge to end it. Grant looked really good and we got lucky Theis wasn't seriously injured.

Proposed on The Ringer:

Enes Kanter, Romeo Langford, Vincent Poirier, the Celtics’ 2020 first-round pick to the Thunder for Dennis Schröder
OR Langford, Grant Williams, the Grizzlies’ 2020 first-rounder to the Kings for Bogdan Bogdanovic

I hate them both. I don't see a bigger trade I'd be happy with, honestly. I like this team, I think the young guys will be key rotation pieces, and I don't see a way to improve the bigs situation without gutting the team. If healthy, Kanter/Theis/Timelord with sprinkings of Grant Williams and Poirier can do enough against a lot of teams. Especially if Smart, Brown and Tatum are balling on D.

Look for a Wanamaker upgrade or turn Semi and the Celtics 1st into something.

When we have bad stretches it seems we fans are in woe is us need. But right now, we feel fat (phat?) and happy. Maybe add dumb.... if the team doesn't plan ahead. Perhaps because we play so hard and are a bit rotationally short, injuries are an ever present and particularly dangerous lurker.

None of our top guys are going in salary matching... Too much risk in loss of chemistry...or impending free agency. So I think Danny will use the bulging goodie bag of flotsam in Semi, Poirier, too many not ready for prime rookies and draft picks to 'net' a very good second tier floor spacer... As to Kennard, I think he has his own repetitive injury issues.

Reports say they have an offer from the Mavs, expiring contract and a first round pick. Are just seeing if they can beat it.

At first I got it, last year you don't want to play for a rebuilding team. Now it's a little crazy though. Mavs are a flawed team, not much difference from the Grizzly in my opinion. D matters in the playoffs and the Mavs game is to just try and outscore you.

Yeah but he flat out should not be getting paid, this is a disgrace to the league. If I'm the Grizzlies owner I'm making a point about this.

Every year is the same basically. Danny is in on everything, he explores every option. Every year because of that we expect a trade and they don't happen. Yet this year feels slightly different, like we are a bench upgrade away from being legit contenders. I certainly don't expect a big trade, but a piece for the bench seems semi likely. Yet it does take two to make a trade. First round picks have been hard to get at the deadline lately and we shouldn't be scared to trade a late first when we own three of them. It really comes down to how Danny values the players and what teams want.

The more I research Woods, look at boxscores, watch videos I really like him. Yet he doesn't have Bird rights coming off a two year deal. His early bird rights won't get you close to his market value. So I have a hard time coming up with a trade, unless they take a 2nd round pick. If he had full bird rights I could think about a first. A big part of a trade for me is adding future salary for trades.

I've loved Bruce Brown since the draft two years ago and wanted Danny to take him. He's just a Celtic type of player. Good defender, can play three positions, can pass the ball and play team Basketball. I would love to get him, yet I don't see why they would trade him. He's signed for the minimum next year. I would give up a late first for both of them in a second though.

I don't mind Burk, I love how he gets to the line. Good solid player. Yet I don't get replacing Wannamaker given how he had played and when we are fully healthy he doesn't even play much. Burk also doesn't have bird rights. It's like upgrading from Green. It might help a little bit during the season, yet I don't see a playoff role for him.

I only say this because I feel like we'll be lucky if Danny adds one guy. So let's add someone that adds a dimension to the team. A guy that can take Semi and Williams minutes and actually score on a consistent basis.

Pick. That thing keeps dropping in value every single day. Romeo seems like he could be a important piece here someday. It'll take time though.

Color me confused, I get trading Capela for Covington in today's NBA. I don't get the Rockets having to trade a first round pick, plus Capela to make it happen.

I haven’t done a fantasy basketball league since college. Do we have enough people in here to do one next year? Can do it Roto style and keep it simple.
