Boston Celtics Dame Trade ideas and rumors

The flip Porter for other assets

 

Keep Brogdon. Hed be a good vet mentor.

You move Ant for assets

 

I don't think it was Riley's ego. I think he strategized with Goodwin on behalf of Dame to figure out a way to get him to Miami without giving up anything of note. I think they thought they could take advantage of us by "helping" Dame, and they collectively don't think much of our front office. The problem was they got greedy and overplayed their hand.

 

I was actually thinking that after I posted, that's definitely the right move.

 

In terms of what we could get, I still think the best move is sending him to Boston, the Celtics sending Brown to a third team.

Either Houston or OKC.

We could get a lot of picks and young players. I would LOVE to see that happen. I don't really want Brown here. I don't think he'd stay and I'm not in love with him anyway.

 

I listened to this particular national discussion on my way home. Dame for Brown. The bottom line is Dame would get over it real quick if he was traded there. How could he be pissed at being traded to a contender? The bigger question is do we roll the dice on a player who is a free agent next year?

 

Brown to HOU. Win-win-win for everybody. Dame would be on a very very strong team. As strong a starting 5, at least, as MIA. Def. a stronger bench than MIA. Dame would be under pressure to deliver, however. BOS fans often, shall we say, are vocal when displeased. No more excuses for Dame. Win a ring or he is fucked either in BOS or MIA.

 

I would like to know if BOS is planning on giving him that payday.

 

I suspect that if they can't get on the Lillard trade they will, but the fact that he has not gotten it yet means they are exploring options.

 

No. We don't. We send him to Houston or OKC.

Something like this

 

Boston is the compromise.

They have a better chance at winning a ring than Miami with Dame.

Jaylen Brown would net the Blazers the biggest return to a third team.

Houston can start with a package that might include Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason, and picks.

 

Yeah, I don't think Boston wants to give him the 5 yr Max, and wants to move him because they know he will be pissed. My question is will he take it out on the team he is traded to? I wonder how many teams would clear cap space next year to go after him, or maybe we try him for a year hoping he stays, or do a sign, and trade if he won't?

 

I'm not sure if Brown has THAT much value. He's not Dame.

I think we might be able to get Amen, another young player, and picks.

 

i'm torn on Jaylen vs other assets.

If we can sell him on staying long term, Brown would be a terrific foundational piece. We'd need to find a C in an Ant trade, but a future lineup of Scoot/Sharpe/Brown/Grant/? is really enticing.

Jarrett Allen or Claxton or hell maybe even Ayton is super interesting to me (for Ant).

Also... I want nothing to do with Amen. We have our nonshooting PG already. I'd be more interested in Jabari.

 

I bet you he does. All-NBA guy at 25 years old and coach Udoka would push hard for him.

While Thompson has the higher ceiling (because he hasn't played yet), he might be the worst fit. I'd take Jabari and Eason along with picks. Those two prospects are better than anything Miami has to offer. Houston would easily do that if it meant getting them Brown.

 

If we could get Jaylen Brown, I wouldn't mind routing him to Atlanta (we could get back Onyeka Okongwu and De'Andre Hunter), Detroit (Bojan and Jalen Duren), or Houston (Jabari Smith Jr.).
