Trade deadline discussion

How heartless will Ainge and Smith be here. Like will they trade Joe's deal to save a few pennies in luxury tax? I wouldn't put it past them.

Like Matt Harpring who was salary dumped to OKC and retired before he could put on a Thunder Jersey. Korver too, who lasted about half of a season after we traded him. But neither could compare to what Jingles done for this organization though
 
I’m kinda in Standpatsville. I’m probably too sentimental. Maybe trade JC for Smart still and get K-Hustle. Re-tool in the off-season almost no matter what. But let the team come together after this and fight to where they will.
 
Bill Simmons had a brief excerpt on his pod today and talked about Jazz and trade stuff. He mentioned quietly JC's name was out there... Not much to it but its the first we have heard of JC's name being out there.

I don't recommend we do anything drastic at the deadline. I would be very reluctant to trade JB. He's started hitting shots and I think he will be more necessary with Joe out. I think it will be harder to live with Forrest's offense without Joe.

Go ahead and position yourself cap wise and player wise for something... but do not throw a pick in trying to chase something that just ain't happening. Head the advice of TLC.... don't go chasing waterfalls.

It feels kinda pointless to do the "all in" move now. It was always likely not a worthwhile endeavor. If there is something good that gives you some flexibility then do it. If there is a big pivot deal with Bogey or Mike that might not be there in the offseason... then go for it.

If I can get off of JC's deal I do it. If you can get something that helps open up the window more for next year or 2-3 years from now then do it.

I honestly don't know what the play is right now. I don't know what to do.

This is a crushing blow. The only silver lining is that he was probably done after this year anyway. Doesn't make trading him right now any better.

I mean, I guess we could trade him, he gets waived and we add him to the coaching staff just to end this season. But that seems a little unprecedented.

Yeah... IDK either. Not sure the coaching thing can happen... not sure what the rules are on it.

I just hope they don't move him for a lower expiring deal just to save some money. If they have to use his contract in another deal I get it... its a business. If its a Miye Oni type of deal then Ainge and Smith can go to hell.

Yeah, if they just trade him to save money, that's an awful look for Ainge starting this role with us.

I don't know why we wouldn't be allowed to bring back Joe in a "non-player" role if he is waived/bought out by a team we trade him to. But at that point, does he even want to come back and sit on our bench while he recovers?

This whole situation sucks.
