    I feel like every draft/trade deadline we expect fireworks but never get it. Tonight i think we will. If Paul George is already coming to LA then it doesn't make sense to trade for him. Use #2 and Ingram to get another star, maybe Zinger and use Randle to dump Dung. Porzingis still having 2 years left on his rookie deal would be very attractive to them.

    If the Celtics had guarantees from George and Lebron being like 50/50 I would say to jump on those moves. But it seems like the C's will land Hayward and their big move probably comes next year. I don't think a lineup of IT/Butler/Hayward/Horford/Porzingis is out of the realm of possibility if Ainge wants to make it happen.

    Tradeable assets that could easily get both done.

    Crowder
    Bradley
    Smart
    Zizic
    Yabusele
    Rozier
    17 #3 and #37 overall
    18' Nets
    18' Celtics
    18' Lakers 2-5 or better of Kings/Philly 19 (top 1 protected or you get the other pick)
    19' Memphis 1st (top 8 prot., top 6 in 20' and unprot. in 21')
    19' Clippers (1-14 prot. in 19', 1-14 prot. in 20' or 22' 2nd rounder)
    19' Celtics 1st (although you can't trade 2 in a row so might be 20' 1st)


    Danny is super hesitant to part with any of these though. Porzingis should be one he isn't hesitant on though, size is a little worrisome for future injuries but he would be a perfect fit in Stevens' system.

    Well this George deal may take longer than I thought, gotta wait for free agency now too apparently.

    1 positive move followed by 2 negatives. Can't even get a fire sale done correctly.

    I mean Embiid not really in position to call ppl out despite being special for 30 games. Lonzo has handled the hate his pops generated as well as you can tbh, got a lot of respect for the kid.

    Feel bad for Bulls fans to be honest after that trade. Feels similar to what us niner fans are going through. Build a really good team and get a really good coach and just like that in rebuild mode without getting a championship. Who knows what happens if Rose doesn't tear his knee?

    I think we win the title in either or possibly both of 2012 & 2013. Starting lineup of Rose/Butler/Deng/Booz/Noah with guys like Korver, Omer, Taj off the bench? Makes me tear up just thinking about it.

    Rose will be arguably one of the biggest 'what ifs' in sports history.

    From my understanding of it he started using drugs to cope with the death of his son. Probably not a joking matter.

    "What I was told is — and I don’t know who it was in the front office; I don’t have a name — but that he was told, 'Well, if you don’t take this, we’re going to play Tony Snell your minutes. We’re going to play Tony Snell over you, and then good luck trying to get this kind of money when your number sare down. And that, if it’s true — and it’s what I was told, and I believe it, but it’s the same thing of any gossipy industry that you’re in — then it doesn’t make sense that Jimmy Butler can’t stand the front office and loves Thibs, because Thibs apparently went, 'No, I’m not playing Tony Snell over Jimmy Butler. Are you freaking kidding me?'"

    You can't tell me the Bulls management isn't the worst in the entire NBA. This on top of them just not listening to Thibs and his staff and them trading a pick away for cash is infuriating. This is mid 00s suns level of bad management.
