The Richardson deal makes more sense now. Might get that money from Knicks. Yeah, once the Richardson deal went down yesterday I figured Fournier wasn't going to happen. The only question is whether the Celtics will be able to work out a S&T wherever Fournier signs. On the big situation, I'm very comfortable with Roberts Williams and Al Horford. Williams injuries have all been really weird small things, so if he can get healthy he'll be a breakout player. The Celtics do need to find some veteran depth at that position though. I don't trust Williams and Horford for 82 games to be fully healthy, so we do need another guy. But again, if healthy Williams is really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but I'd guess his time as a full roster NBA player is probably over. He could snag a 2-way contract or be a guy that plays in the G-League and gets called up every now and then for 10-days, but I don't see him as a full roster guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they may bring him back…probably 2 way contract for sure. I’d play summer league and see if I can get a guaranteed contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 @BGleas Are you guys playing out Smarts contract? Would think you would be moving him for a more traditional point guard. With Paul opting out and likely signing a huge deal maybe swoop in and get Cam Payne?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Knicks sniffing around Myles Turner….Pacers not selling as of now. I don’t think they have anyone we want but maybe a trade exception or bring another player in the deal would be nice. Heck I’d even take Quickly and Robinson and maybe a 2nd to move Turner. Think we are going to be stuck with him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I love Marcus Smart but I would like to see the Celtics move him. His defensive effort has begun to slip the last year or two as he focuses more on offense. It's one of those situations where I think it’s better to sell high on him because I think once he begins slipping it will be fast. Also, while his shooting has improved a lot, he takes a lot of had shots and just too many shots. I only imagine that will get worse if he's the starting point guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good chance Lowry to Miami in trade for Dragic and Precious. Also Heat have talks with Derozan…they are going to be a tenacious team if that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not sure what it would take but two free agents I’d be interested in for Pacers since they appear to be running it back are Cam Payne and Malik Monk. If we make moves Batum but imagine he will want to play for a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shot his career avg last year from 3 at like 38% I think he would have had a lot more…since it dipped last year I think people will opt for just defensive bigs or go small for stretching defense. If he doesn’t have that value then might as well keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know how they fit Lowry, DeRozen and giving Robinson a huge contract? Robinson has been on a undrafted rookie deal this entire time, this is his first payday and he's going to want all he can get. He is restricted, so Miami can match, but they've got to be over that luxury tax if they do all of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t love Harris, but with Simmons there they kind of need him because he's someone that can get buckets in the 4th and put up 30 in a game when Simmons won't/can't score. I'd almost be hesitant to move Harris before moving Simmons. But again, I don't love Harris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 If I was Miami I’d talk to OKC about taking Iggy if they haven’t waived rights already. Throw them a future first or something since they don’t mind paying for picks and see if they can do a s/t for Dorozen. Not sure they even need him but if they really want him I’m sure they will find a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Simmons at point forward with McCollum and Maxey, Thybulle, and Embiid?? At least try to get Simmons value back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Harris' value is anywhere close to McCollum though. I mean, Portland trading McCollum for Harris is not moving the needle for keeping Dame there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figured that…probably have to add to it or find a team that loves him willing to move an all star to Portland. I mean Portland can’t stand pat can they though?

If there is an all-star than can figure a way to acquire then for sure they need to do that, but I wouldn't panic and just flip McCollum for a similar or worse player just to do something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
