What's new

Royce to Brooklyn for a first rounder

The flip side is maybe Collins can net you another, better first in a trade later.
I’d still like to try to get there without adding a first if possible. Collins trade market has seemingly cooled, and I could easily see someone like Bogey’s heat up depending on what happens with other deals happening today.
 
What did this say?
Basically how smart we were for doing this before the league year turned to avoid the tax... but it doesn't work that way... tax is already "locked" in bruh.
 
So far this off-season Ainge has:

1. Not traded Rudy.
2. Not hired Don's guy.
3. Got us under the LT.
4. Cleared out the way in the starting lineup for those minutes to be occupied elsewhere.
5. Got us a first round pick.

I'd say he's executed this pretty good and has been pretty well rounded in being able to make both basketball and financial moves. I'm getting more optimistic.

If he signs Queen today imma laugh my *** off.
 
In the Sicilian with White I usually play the Smith Morra Gambit. With Black, I like the dragon.
Both of those are fun. I like playing black against the Smith Morra, that extra pawn can be huge if you can hold onto it. I tend to lean toward the accelerated dragon with black.

Acquiring a long term asset in a trade of Bogey is very difficult given his age and contract status. If they can parlay that into a near-20/10 guy with a chance to rehab value, that might be the best we can hope for.

Obviously, if they can do it straight across without the pick then you do the paperwork so quickly that it is hardly legible.
