Boston Celtics Dame Trade ideas and rumors

We don't need Brown, because we're obviously getting Tatum!

 

All the attention around Dame and who we get for him is great, but I'm way more concerned about getting some young, talented, length in the frontcourt. Most importantly, they need to move on from Nurk and get a PF so they can move Grant to SF and get their C of the future.
Not that Nurk is trash, but his attitude is showing out lately and I think most of it is because of the Dame situation.

 

Going to be really interesting to see if this gets worked out.... because from what I have heard from various reporters, it's extremely odd that he hasn't signed his deal yet.

 

Since when do players negotiate for their contract? lol Total propaganda that Brown needed to get back to Boston to negotiate his contract.

EDIT: I'm responding to the Tweet. Not you. Hope that's clear for you.

 

I think normally you're right, but with these super max I think they're capable of getting 35% of their teams cap, but maybe Boston doesn't think Brown is worth that full 35%.

 

Robert Williams. He would be great for us. Exactly who we need at center. Maybe we could get White too.

 

Williams isn’t scraps.

 

definitely an over pay but what are you gonna do?

 

No brainer but still a wild number.

 

Well that will finally kill the Dame for Brown 3 team trade ideas.

I keep hearing how Ben Simmons and DeAndre are on such massive overpaid contracts. Josh Hart was going to be massively overpaid. Sometimes even Ant is mentioned as way overpaid.

Simmons is an expiring next year - DeAndre is ~30 something million for one year longer. Ant only makes $25 million. Hart picked up a $12 million option.

When Brown makes $300 million and guys like Dillon Brooks make $100 million, LaMelo Ball is making $250 million those other contracts start looking much better.

 

So if his contract averages $60.8 million per season - I'd think the first seasons are closer to $50 million. That means the last seasons will be around $70 million?

Yeah its hard not to wonder if a player like Scoot/Sharpe on a rookie contract is way more valuable. Even when he is eligible for an extension it'll be a much lower amount. Then there's the 2nd apron limits on the horizon.

I wonder if we are going to get to a point where All-NBA players aren't the most valuable players on a team any longer? Maybe it'll be fine to have one of those guys, but we might get to where it makes more sense to not have a 2nd or 3rd max player on the roster. Instead fill the roster with a depth chart of ~8 solid rotational players with only a single star.

For a few decades the blueprint to contend was always 2-3 stars and whatever role players or even vet minimums can fit around them. Not sure that is going to best the best blueprint in the years ahead.

 

Lmao, he just signed the biggest NBA contract

 

Capitalism at its best.
If the networkes and league ownership wasn't making billions from people like us fan's, that propel the golden goose, players wouldn't do so well.
Im cool with it as long as a percentage of it is given back to those in need.

 

Doee this make KATs contract more palatable?

 

The dream is dead.

Guess we'll have to eat the Heat garbage.

 

Honestly, I'd be more open to Ayton than KAT. I think he'll be a better fit next to Scoot.

 

IF KAT is healthy - he's a significantly better player.

 

He's better, but foundationally more flawed. I don't love the idea of a center as soft as him. He's also paid much more and older by 3 years.

Ayton is and will always be better defensively.

I'd take Ayton at his price over KAT for a rebuilding team.
