Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

I don’t necessarily think Danny will be eager to shake things up in a substantial way. He could quickly put a huge target on his back and there’d be no scapegoat.

I think JZ was less likely to make a move than Danny but I still think a move is unlikely… in part because we are rolling so any move he makes has more downside than upside for his report card.

I do think Danny will avoid doing the Matty Ice type of trade where we give up a second for no ****ing reason at all.

Imma drive to Utah and fight him if he trades Ingles. I’ll fight through security Isiah Stewart style.

Hate to say it but trading an aging player like Ingles seems like the exact type of think Ainge would do. He doesn't give a **** about loyalty.

If Ainge makes a major move (and trading the cultural heart of the team would count as one), then we can be sure that Smith and Danny have already discussed it and are in agreement.

Smith isn’t going to bring anyone onboard and just hand him the keys to a contender

Here's the good news:

We're definitely moving on from a number of our end of bench guys. He is waiving Oni and bringing in a real NBA player.

It would also be a great DL irony if we are able to trade Udoka for a second round pick.

Get your logic and reason out of here… I’m going to irrationally freak out okay?!?!?

Probably a safe assumption.

Probably a safe assumption.

Seriously, though. We're all worried about him coming in with no-strings-attached and moving some of our key pieces, when in reality if we're set on keeping the key guys (unless it's obvious), then he's going go hog-****ing-wild on the deep bench where we don't want to give up on "our guys."

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

It will be interesting to see the dynamic between Quin and Ainge. Quin already won a power struggle… trade one of his guys and piss him off and see what happens.

The good news is, is that we know Udoka, Oni and Hughes aren’t his guys.

I think the other guys are guaranteed at this point but I think Oni is for sure gone and they will replace him with a minimum. Churning the back end of the roster could get expensive just to cut a few guys.
