You rang? Jake Fischer: Boston has been exploring the combined outgoing value of Danilo Gallinari and Payton Pritchard, sources said, as the Celtics search for center reinforcements. Two names of big men that match that outgoing salary: Jakob Poeltl and Mo Bamba. Nurk and Watford for Grant Williams, Pritchard and Gallinaro
I'm reserving my judgment of Joe until tomorrow afternoon but if he lets this atrocious roster stay the way it is, I'll be livid. I don't want to here about not knowing what was and wasn't out there. GMs around the league are able to make their teams better. We have a team that is not necessarily high on talent but it isn't devoid of it either but what it is devoid of is roster construction that makes sense neither as complementary pieces or within the system of the head coach. It's Joe's job to correct that shit and Dame said it needs to be urgent and the way he is lighting up the league the front office should have some fucking urgency. That being said, I think they do have some urgency and I'm not expecting hall of the roster to be turned over by tomorrow but I do think some meaningful trades will be made by noon. Prove me right Joe!
No one is going to pick Westbrook up from waivers because no one has that kind of cap space or probably the desire to pay him that much, so he'll clear the waiver wire for sure. I think he will definitely get picked up in the buyout market though, I'd be shocked if he wasn't on a playoff roster.
What part of reality am I missing? Edit: Are we devoid of talent so there is no way for the team to improve? Do you think the roster is well constructed? Should Joe just get a pass while we piss away a phenomenal year from Dame?
It would be hilarious and pretty shocking but as talented as he is I wouldn't want him on our team fucking shit up. Maybe enough GMs feel that way that he just ends up staying home.
The thing that blows my mind is teams are willing to bail out the Lakers from Westbrick and give them good players in return like a DeAng -- i mean we ( I ) will have to see what else in terms of picks and such but damn does the Lakers org have some nude pics or something else on a lot of the GM's around the league or something. My point is we all know unless the Blazers decide to trade Ant or i guess Nurk to a super lesser degree the only real chip outside of a 1st round pick they have is ( maybe ) Sharpe and Hart and the Lakers have even less I believe so what the hell -- LOL
I wanted Vando on the team, but he definitely isn’t worth a 1st. There may not be a move to be made this trade deadline. And that’s fine. Joe said that this team is far from complete and this season wasn’t the goal to be a contender. But if they don’t make a move and do punt on the season, they definitely need to throttle back Dame’s minutes. There is no point in running Dame into the ground just to miss playoffs.
