Good for the Nets.

Go Marks.
Magic is going put everything on the table to bring a star name to the Lakers and validate himself in the process..His hiring isn't good news for Ainge and his precious assets..
Good trade for wizards
They are my pick to reach East finals if Boston stands pat..
John wall is possibly the best penetrating guard in the league tbh. The amount of corner threes he generates is unreal.
It's actually a good trade for both teams (Nicholson's contract is well worth a for a 1st, with a team so strapped for assets and his contract is irrelevant on a team with so little committed salary), but the Wizards backup backcourt is still shaky. Williams or Collison would have given them a better chance to survive in non Wall minutes.
As far as George goes, there's an urgency for the Celtics to get this done now, get him indoctrinated into their environment and probably make two ECF's (and maybe a Finals, if everything breaks right) trips before he hits free agency, otherwise he's more than likely Lakers bound. At the same time, I could understand wanting to get Crowder back, not only for his contract, but to fill the hole that George would leave at small forward. In the end, it shouldn't be a deal breaker though. In addition to the Nets' pick, Bradley and Jerebko's expiring contract, I'm sure they could get them to throw in one of their other myriad 1sts and that's still a nice haul, so long as the top of the draft is as good as advertised.
They really do need an Amare to Harden's Nash
If Im Boston no way to I offer up my top 5 pick for PG who is a FA sooner. Butler is under contract for years and while slightly different player than PG, overall just as good. PG seems very likely to at best test the market and at worst force his way to LA
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, but its very possible mst trades for tomorrow involve 8th to 12th men in the team....no more possible big trades except for Boston...
You're right..magic might be dumb enough to give away the whole store...all bird needs is one sucker..and there are a few dumb GM'S to choose from...he'll get a good deal if he's smart..
PG13 to Boston tbh
edit: re ed twitter with fake tweets, doesn't look real.
If they can't pry Butler loose, I'd do it. As hyped up as this draft is, especially with point guards, let's not act like these guys are O'Neal, Duncan, James, etc. The odds of any even becoming as good a player as George at his best are slim (not saying Fultz and Ball aren't considered better prospects, but to varying degrees, look how hyped up Smart, Payton, Russell and Mudiay, were and look at them now), because the odds are almost always slim of drafting a future top 15 player. I know he's having a down season, but he'd likely be rejuvenated with the Celtics and regain his form.
Horford will turn 31 this year and Thomas will turn 28. Their window to win is now; not a half decade from now, when this pick is and if this pick ends up as good as advertised. George not only times well with those two, but would fit well too.
Also, the Cavaliers are their for the taking. They'd still be an underdog, but they'd have at least have 2 realistic shots at them. If George walks away from that because he's dead set on being a Laker, so be it. It's a worthwhile gamble for the Celtics. The whole point of being a GM is to get to a position where you're at least in the mix for a championship. It's the most difficult league to get to that point and if you have a chance to do it, you take it.
edit: twitter is beyond re ed, another fake account. Why do people even make them?

Quit trying to break news, you look like an asshat.
To troll jabronis like you
Someone has to take the torch from tspense, I'm anxiously f5'ing his twitter page to get the scoop. I'll post it when I have it.
Doing the lords work TBH
Boston may well just whiff on these possibilities if they are not aggressive is all I am saying.
All you're saying is that the front office with the most leverage in the league should stop doing what got them there and act like the teams getting fleeced due to trying to force a trade.
How'd that work out for the Nets?
Boston doesn't have leverage. No one is hurting because they aren't making deals. They're the ones wasting their chance to contend.
Exactly...
AS TD 21 pointed out they have guys in their 28-31 year range... they don't have spots to develop multiple first round picks all at once either and these guys (star players) don't become available often or will be pried easily and they are not the only ones with interest.
Ainge once threw 4 picks at Charlotte for the pick that became Winslow. They probably need to be more aggressive than they are to convince someone to let go of a franchise player. If they go in with the mentality to try to swindle someone they won't get anyone worth getting.
All this dilly dally works against them bc they are not the only ones that would love to get one of these guys.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA
now Sixers are finalizing a trade to Ersan Ilyasova to Atlanta for Tiago Splitter and two second-round picks, league sources tell @TheVertical.
There is a difference between being frugal and cheap. Frugal is understanding that being selective with resources is meant to serve a greater goal at the right time and place. Being cheap is ac ulating resources for the sake of ac ulating with no vision/goal in mind.
Ainge is a cheap bas .
