    Yeah ok good luck with that trade. Brown is already resigned btw and Tatum has one more rookie contract year.

    Yeah your right, I used salary ratio.
    Salaries are actually close to 55 million over the durations of contracts.
    I never used realgm before, where as ESPN trade checker used dollars instead.
    Thanks TBF for bringing it to my attention even at my age never to old to learn and even be wrong on something.

    Can we tell anything by looking at when (if) Olshey makes a trade? It seems if he wants this team to go as far as it can this year, he needs to make a trade really soon. If he waits until the trade deadline, maybe not so much?

    You are correct. They still need a rim protector and may need to clear some salary for re-engineering? Tatum will cost them a bunch to extend or resign.

    Hayward expires when Tatum is to be extended so they don't need the relief. And they would never give up Smart, not even if we attached our 1st rounder.

    The trade you proposed must be the most short-sighted move in Ainge's career. He would never do that.

    Ok, but to say they would never give up Smart, not sure how you would know that?

    Agreed. The Celtics would have trouble matching salary for any big player this year. They do need big man help but their targets are likely lower priced guys or other rookie deal types. They'd be a perfect spot for Myles Turner if they had the contracts to make it work.

    Ok I don't really know that, but I know it is often overlooked how important this guy is for them and how well he fits with the rest of their guards/wings. They love him as well so I don't see any scenario of him getting traded unless he is packaged with somebody else for an All Star caliber player. They won't trade Smart for Bazemore or Whiteside.

    Im sure that would depend on the type player and if he could improve the Celts. I think Hayward has an option after this year so I guess much could depend on what he does. Im just an old fan though and most of my trade scenarios never come to pass like everyone else's. Expect the Unexpected!

    Bazemore is the obvious trade piece. Whiteside not so much. With Gasol gone, Zach not back until March at the earliest, and Nurk getting eased back in, we’ll need the insurance. Not to mention, imagine getting 48 minutes at the position from those two. That’s an advantage not many teams have.

    So if we have those two, the most obvious need is on the wing. If Covington is on the block, that would be ideal. Iguodala too, but I’m sure there are other options as well.

    I also think we should look into another point guard.

    Jumping off of this trade suggestion, I had a few modifications.
    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=vtlwnlp

    Clippers: Harkless + Robinson + '21 2nd Round (Detroit via LAC) -> Iguodala
    Clippers get Iguodala (possibly the best player in the trade) for the playoffs, without giving up too much to do so.

    Portland: Bazemore + Mario + '20 1st (PDX) -> Harkless + Josh Jackson + Melton + '21 2nd Round (Detroit via LAC) + '22 2nd Rounder (Memphis)
    Blazers give up a pick this year (in a poor draft) and 2 bench level players. I think Portland has really missed Harkless' defense on the wing. Blazers also get to kick the tires on a reclamation project and a PG with potential. Also getting two 2nd round picks (in much deeper drafts) are the icing on the cake. Having bird rights to Harkless & Jackson will hopefully make re-signing both to reasonable contracts easier.

    Memphis: Iguodala + Josh Jackson + Melton + '22 2nd Rounder (Memphis) -> Bazemore + Mario + Robinson + '20 1st (PDX)
    Griz get their 1st for Iguodala. They also get a reasonable prospect in Robinson.

    I heard Casey the other day saying that Nurk has no intention of being "eased back in"--basically that when he's given the OK to go, his plan is to go full bore. Of course we have no idea where Stotts' mindset is on that, or if he'll be physically able to what he plans, but I found it interesting that he's talking that way.

    man it’s Nurk, he’d play on one leg if he could lolol. But it would help if he’d return well ahead of the trade deadline so they could assess it. If he’s ready for a regular work load then trade whiteside. But we still need a backup center. Skal is not a center.

    I understand that roster size limits and tax concerns probably make this a no-go, but I think this is moderately interesting.

    Dame
    Jrue
    RoCo
    Melo
    Nurk

    w/CJ, Trent, Skal & Whiteside on the bench?

    I miss the summer when at least half the forum would take Simons over Jrue.
