Celtics 2022-23

[upstater1]

Looks like a lot of media idiots are wanting the Celtics to trade for 33 year old Kevin Durant. One proposal I saw was Smart, White, Horford and Pritchard plus 2 first rounders. Lou Merloni's deal was 3 1st rounders and Smart.

These all sound like good trades to me.

For the other team, yeah...

For the other team, yeah...

Durant is a game changer on a good team. If we keep Tatum and preferably Brown and Durant, that’s closer to a title than this year even subtracting Smart.

Could be good for all parties. Tatum gets a vet who won before in a Kobe/Shaq sort of duo. KD would still be considered the best player and wouldn’t get the disrespect he got on the Warriors.

Also we want to 7 with Miami. If he goes there, it’s another block in the East

I worry about Durant's age... And his lack of desire to play here...And his health post-Achilles'...

What if I offer everybody not named Tatum, Time Lord & Jaylen Brown, and keep the draft picks?

Barring a change of heart, Galinari's signing with the Celtics.

And, now, a trade:

The Indiana Pacers are trading guard Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN.

The Celtics are sending Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and a 2023 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Celtics are also including Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts and Juwan Morgan in the trade, sources tell ESPN.

 

[Deus Irae]

The Celtics wanted to land a true playmaking point guard and now acquire Malcolm Brogdon without costing themselves a core player. The Pacers land another first-round pick in the deal.

 

[BTTA]

This is f'in awesome. Udoka asked for "more IQ" at the end of games and man did he just get it. Wow.
Plus frees up playing time for Bryant.

Very nice trade for the C’s. Definitely another shoe to drop, one of our PGs is getting included in a trade. Probably Pritchard.

GREAT trade.

This writer called it a week ago.

Malcolm Brogdon is the missing piece for the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics fell just short of their ultimate goal this season and heading into next year, Malcolm Brogdon could be the missing piece.

Good trade. Lessens the sting of taking that bust nesmith over Cole Anthony.

True.

Hopefully Brogdon can stay healthy enough to give them ~70 games.

 

[captain stone]

Where's the Beef, Brad?

 

[Deus Irae]

New: Sources said the Cs spent weeks seeking ways to use their $17.1 million trade exception, but no deal was better than the Brogdon one. Also, a source stressed that Marcus Smart remains the unquestioned starting PG on this team.

According to a league source, the Celtics are expected to agree to a multi-year deal with Sam Hauser when the dust clears in the coming days, too. Boston made that route pretty clear when it declined Hauser's team option for next year.

 

[Deus Irae]

Free agent center Luke Kornet has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the Boston Celtics, league sources tell @YahooSports.

 

[jimnance]

Nobody heard of him so Kornet will have to toot his own horn.
Thank you very much I'll be here all week

We were Durant’s first choice before Kyrie convinced him to go to the Nets

I don’t know on that. The lack of depth will be a problem. I wouldn’t mind trading Brown to minimize some of the hit from that end.

League sources tell MassLive that 2023 first round pick the Celtics are trading in Malcolm Brogdon deal is top-12 protected. If it doesn't convey this year, Pacers get a second-round pick instead.
