The stoop with dat dope fanny padding

I'd be shocked if the Celtics didn't trade David Lee. Even if they do trade him, there's a decent chance he still gets bought out.

Boston has too many picks and has to do something with at least a few of them, even if it's a minor upgrade. This is when picks are at their highest value as opposed to the draft when they couldn't trade 4-6 picks to move up from 16 to 10

I hope my Hawks can strike a small deal for an average level SF. Like trading Mike Scott for a backup SF who fits our system.

that would mean they've given up on ilyasova pretty quick

They have given up on ilyasova
He was never considered a long term solution at pf. He's on a 1 year contract with a 2nd team option.
Not surprised...but wouldn't Anderson essentially be the same player. They need a playmaker at the 4. Imagine if Draymond went there:wow:
The difference between Illyasova and Anderson is that Anderson is not hesitant to shoot. If he has some daylight the shot is going up. Far too often illyasova passes up open shots by pumpfaking into more difficult shots and it kills the flow of the offense.

And a player like Draymond would be ideal here, but those types don't grow on trees. He would be everything Stan wants out of his pf in this system. So for floor spacing sake for Drummond, right now a knockdown shooter will do. Illaysova would be a solid bandaid right now if he would just take the fukking shots.

That's not a bad deal for Chicago. Doesn't move the needle for Toronto. It's seems like they want a clear PF upgrade
