Irving, Hayward, Tatum, ???, Hoford

I guess...

 

[Chase17]

Still won't have rebounding.

Is it possible the Great C alliance has finally gone too far 🤔🤔🤔

Tampering charges are being issued

 

[msdstc]

solid bet imo

how many games did linsanity miss last season? like 30?

They lost by far their best player. The crabbe pickup was nice, but IDK.

The bottom of the east will be an absolute trash heap no doubt. Orlando, Indiana, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Chicago, etc. will all be trading wins hopefully. Again this trade isn't a fleece job if it's outside the top 5.

1. Bagley
2. Porter
3. Donkic
4. Bamba
5. Ayton

If we miss on a shot at one of those 5 for Kyrie? UGHHHH

Plus there are others that can shit the bed even harder... Bulls, Pacers, Hawks, Magic...

Or perhaps not far enough?

 

[Jarate]

Bagley, Porter and Doncic are all top tier prospects. Top 3 will be ludicrous next year.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Celtics betting that the Nets finish outside the Top 5 next year.

they traded their best player and added D'Angelo Russell and a bunch of other teams' shit contracts. I wouldn't bet on it.

Irving thrilled w/ joining Celtics and they'll have great chance to eventually re-sign him. Boston made deal with strong belief he'll stay.

I want to see ITs reaction

 

[LyleLanley]

Irving, Hayward, Tatum, ???, Hoford

I guess...

I assume it'll be Irving, Brown, Hayward, Hortford, Baynes to start the season. Maybe Tatum at the 4 and Hortford at the 5 eventually.

 

[LeroyPantwether]

So happy . It is gone . Back up the brinks truck...FOH

 

[msdstc]

I think Smart starts over Brown.


edit- Leroy I agree. Glad that headache is elsewhere.

He gets to go to the Finals once.

 

[BlackGhost]

I haven't been paying attention to the draft cause we haven't had picks. I guess now it's Tim to start paying attention.

Tall4life pls provide me with the list of players I should be following.

 

[Slizeezyc]

I'd probably rather just trade IT and Nets pick for Butler if they weren't actually off the table after all. But hey, Ainge gonna Ainge.

Considering what the bulls settled for, you probably could have gotten Butler for just the BKN pick and filler. Danny overplayed his hand.

Yeah. Though the GarPax spin of THREE LOTTERY PICKS FOR BUTLER(!) makes it seem like maybe it would need to be both. But both teams had the same amount of contract year leverage, and only Kyrie had demanded a trade so the Cavs had even less leverage than the Bulls.

 

[panthapanda]

Feel bad for IT (not really). He did a lot for the Celtics. A lot of recruiting too. But hey, it's a business.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

The losers are the Knicks
Still have no idea what they are waiting for with Melo

Yeah so rough that he gets a free trip to the finals.

Cavs trade Jae Crowder for Melo, do it GM LeBron...

 

[Slizeezyc]

Yeah, poor guy probably gets to hide his regression now as well since he'll be getting so many more easy looks.

PS, If I'm the Cavs, I'm saying F it and going all-in and seeing if I can't use Love and the Nets pick for another big-time player.

[jbug617]

Mannix brought up something. What happens if the Cavs are not happy with IT hip. IT suppose to get another scan next month.

They either review his medicals now or waive them i believe. They can't call trade backs in a month.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

They can't wait a month to undo the trade. They probably already spoke to doctors, and they'll get more to look at him ASAP so the league can finalize the deal.

 

[phanphare]

they're waiting for a team to be like "you know what we're missing? melo"

 

[friskykillface]

Crowder x Zizac for Melo
It'll happen during all star weekend
Wade signs after getting bought out during that time too

3/4 banana boat happening

The Cavs are going to need to make some corresponding roster movers here. Stay tuned

Kevin Love and the Nets pick for Greg Monroe. Who says no?

 

[TTG]

Wow wow wow. Who is gonna pick Boston over Cleveland to the finals first?

JR for a second round pick

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wouldn't, not if Thomas is healthy and probably even if he isn't. Cavs still have LeBron, and that's worth a ticket to the Finals until proven otherwise, particularly in the east.

After next season, though...

 

[Officerrob]

I really like this deal for the Cavs, the unprotected Nets picks just seems like too much

I mean, Boston is gonna have the second and third best players on the floor in the conference finals and the superior coach by a margin. But then again I was the one yelling about Bulls over Celtics before Rondo went out. Imma need a minute.

 

[jbug617]

trade is official. Celtics just sent out the press release

LBJ, though.

But when he bolts, the Kyrie Irving/Jayson Tatum

Spoiler

(Blue Devils)

era will begin. Celtics will be like not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4...

 

[Cre8]

Oh shit, Celtics at Cavs on season opening night on Oct. 17 now is a must watch TV. Looking forward to LeBron and IT putting 50pts each on the Leprechauns.

 

[Line_HTX]

Dayum, Danny. That Nets pick you got from them earlier?

Where is Kiritobread when ya need him? OH-HOHOHOHO!!

Damn, should have bought tickets last week

You missed your chance on early access Goatward, killface.

 

[Line_HTX]

Those idiots are still waiting for that elusive 3rd team in whatever the fuck 3 team trade they were trying to do. They are still sitting on their asses for nothing.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

Cavs fleeced the Celtics hard with this trade smh

 

[Slizeezyc]

Yeah but Tim Hardaway Jr.

 

[FallingEdge]

2k better change their cover.

2k curse is real

 

[Boogs31]

I assume it'll be Irving, Brown, Hayward, Hortford, Baynes to start the season. Maybe Tatum at the 4 and Hortford at the 5 eventually.

They may start Baynes but that would be a mistake. Baynes is not a starting caliber center. And if the Celtics start both Horford and Baynes, who plays as the backup 5? Zizic is definitely not the answer.

If I was Boston my starting 5 would be....

1) Irving
2) Smart
3) Hayward
4) Morris
5) Horford

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Especially since he'll be in Cleveland.

 

[BlackGhost]

Cavs say something. Cavs, lebron, IT, Koby?! Anyone!

Probably not hearing anything from them tonight it seems

 

[bbd23]

opening night is going to be hype

 

[Tall4Life]

Cavs say something. Cavs, lebron, IT, Koby?! Anyone!

Danny Ainge conference call is tonight so you'll hear from our C

 

[mjp2417]

Has it been confirmed that the Nets pick is fully unprotected? If so, Danny got fleeced.
