    Holy cow give me RW3, Brogdon, and two Celtics firsts. Then flip Brogdon to the Heat for Lowry and a first.

    I might be crazy… and nobody’s even floating this, so I guess I am, but I don’t hate sending him to Brooklyn for Simmons and the rookies + 2 1sts.

    Then flip Simmons as a rehabbed expiring next year when expirings are going to matter with the new CBA.

    Why do the returns for Jrue sound more appealing than Lillard lol

    I wouldn’t mind the Heat trade because it’s funny.

    Clips for Kobe brown, expiring contracts and picks!

    If the clippers trades include Kobe brown and 2 firsts im pulling the trigger

    I like the warriors package the best. I think their pick could be very valuable, and we need a wing. Kuminga is not a finished product but would be very exciting and add to our versatility and athleticism. We could flip cp3 if a contender wants him or just waive him since he’s a team option, essentially an expiring.

    I fully expected this trade to happen today. Kinda figured Cronin told everyone interest to submit their highest and best and he would set a deadline of sorts of Friday so everything was done by media day. Hopefully this doesn’t drag on too long.
