Because if we gut our roster, what's the point? Especially when we can just sign Gordon Hayward with our cap space and not give up anything

And yes I know Gordon Hayward isn't as good as Paul George but if that's the difference between keeping all these guys and the picks then that's better

I don't see how him to Boston is a done deal just because he's coach is there. His coach was there a few years ago and he had a chance to sign with Boston and didn't

And he can get a lot more money staying in Utah

He got 80 million off his OKC stint, he straight

See you going all off track,that's not the point,Russ got Reggie Jackson money in his sleep,who cares? Like I said tho,Russ and KD knew all along Reggie wasn't that good,and now it's showing.

Also I understand that Butler is not a guy you build around to win a title. He's probably a 2nd or 3rd best player on a title team tbh.

But more then likely the Celtics would only have to give up one of the Nets picks and one valuable young asset. So they'd still have enough future assets to be in the PG or Blake Griffin sweepstakes in the summer or whatever disgruntled star becomes available

Whats your list of players who can be the #1 guy on a title team?

With Butler, IT, Horford, and Avery Bradley that is a pretty serious 4 man setup though:manny:


Kyrie - IT
JR - AB
Bron - Butler
Love - Horford/??
TT - ??/Horford

Bradley crowder and the 2017 Brooklyn pick is too much imo

Bradley is always injured though, and you get to keep a potential stud in Brown. AInge can ask for Butler and Gibson to make up for what you lose in Crowder. Nets pick is a gamble, 2017 best prospects are guards which we are already stocked at. IT isnt going anywhere so why get another PG so soon. 2018 has some good potential big men and very athletic players, you can keep 2018 pick.

Thing is, we need superstars to attract other free agents to Boston. Crowder aint the reason people are signing with Boston. Ask KD.

One of them would probably be enough, especially if Boston or a 3rd team takes on Monta. I really like Crowder but I think Avery Bradley would be a better fit with us.

For example, something like this could work.

Boston Gets:
Paul George
Lavoy Allen
Andrew Bogut

Indiana Gets:
Amir Johnson
Avery Bradley
Jonas Jerebko
Tyler Zeller
Brooklyn's 2017 & 2018 First Round Picks
Dallas' 2017 Second Round Pick
Boston's 2017 Second Round Pick (From Clippers)

Dallas Gets:
Monta Ellis
Pacers 2017 First Round Pick
Pacers 2019 First Round Pick (Top-10 Protected)
--
Two firsts might be a little too much for Dallas though, so perhaps just the 2017 pick.

Bro an arguably top five player JUST got traded sunday and another top 10-12ish player is also rumored to be on the move :dahell: what you want Steph or a nikka like LeBron to be moved?

:mjlol: nikkas want Russ,Steph and Bron to be moved!!!

Cousins getting moved was HUGE and he got placed on a team where now the Pelicans have no question the two best bigs in the league.

I don't get guys on here
