NBA Trade Deadline 2018

[MaNu4Tres]

Boston played the long game when the writing was on the wall with Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Rondo, ect. And it has paid off handsomely.

Ainge has been killing it for years now.

[mo7888]

Those ers in Boston sure know their stuff. Must be nice.

Patty is a veteran perimeter player...jus sayin..

Yep. Wish PATFO would have done the same with some of the current guys

If Pop and RC were in charge of Boston they would have given Isiah his deal after they would have drafted Fultz tbh..

They would have never had the #1 pick.

They would not have traded Garnett and Pierce. It would have been, "until the wheels fall off". Rondo's acl would have meant an extension.

[Chinook]

Personally glad that Ainge wasn't the Spurs' GM. He would have traded Tim and the others in 2011, and the team would still be waiting for the young guys to improve enough to get les. 2014 is more valuable than anything the Celtics can get from this current era.

Eddie House would be on the last year of his 5 year 60 million dollar deal as well tbh..

Agreed 100%. Bird in the hand. Even with Ainge’s big payoff let’s see if they have any run of success like SA has had (still having) and if they even get to a finals.

[DPG21920]

I guess Im missing something but how does money come into play for Monroe? Was he not bought out and doesn’t any money his new time sign him for just get removed from what his old team is paying him?

And yet the Celtics don't have a le and don't seem particularly close to one. , event the "broken-down" Spurs are closer to a ring than the Celtics.

The Spurs don't have the same assets, they would'nt trade duncan wich i understand and this brooklyn offer comes from the sky.

Not the same situation but Ainge made some good moves and had some luck also.

First, the team may have agreed to waive set-off rights (this is usual in buyouts). Second, even if set-off rights weren't waived, he only has to give up half of whatever he makes over the min.

Got ya, thanks

Celtics won the le in 2008 and probably should have one another in 2010.

Um 2008? Almost had one in 2010...

And they now have the best young nucleus and roster in the NBA that should remain tops in the East for at least the next 4 seasons (outside of the Warriors).

[Chinook]

Try to keep up with the conversation. We're specifically talking about after the Brooklyn trade. Boston obviously has plenty of les from the past.

[Chinook]

Seriously, WTF is with people bringing up les before the trade? We all know Boston won a le with their vets. The comment was in response to people praising Ainge for trading his guys.

Spurs have only one championship since 2007.

[Chinook]

Yes. And they won is because PATFO didn't pull an Ainge and dump the Big Three for "value". Instead, he got them help through draft picks and heady min signings.

Do you not realize that the trade just happened in 2013? Do you not realize rebuilding takes time?

You act like all their 1st round picks were used years ago. They got the 14', 16', 17' and 18's first round picks from Brooklyn .. its only the beginning right now. Wait til they reach their peak. Unfortunate for them, they have the best team ever to get through to win a le. I actually think Celtics will beat them in a few years tbh..

Can't believe the state of ST has gone so low that people are seriously suggesting the Spurs should have traded Tim Duncan ing idiots.

Almost as bad as RealGM.

No one suggested that. It's the dumb-asses who like to go to the extreme end of the spectrum and imply that's what we meant.

I guess what you meant was making up alternative universe scenarios so that you can about what the Spurs FO would do in them.

[cd021]

Saw a rumor earlier spurs are interested in trading for Stanley Johnson and Willy Hernangomez

Love the idea of getting Willie (pause) young big with upside and on a cheap deal, so long as that trade would include Forbes (wishful thinking) and not Bertans (Latvian connection with 'Taps) or a first (which would be an overpay for a former second rounder playing so few minutes off the bench on a bad team)
