Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Well, give or take. Gordon would be 37, but Irving could still be very good at 35. And Tatum and Brown are all-stars in the making. Celtics also have a few draft picks still to come, IINM. They're a contender already and will only get better. We're looking at the next W's.

No, they are not. They dont have 2 of the 3 best players in the NBA and 2 other all-stars to go with that. They have Irving who might be top 10. I dont see anyone on that roster being a top 3 player in the NBA and not two of them. They might have 4 all-stars but I am not sure of that either but even if they do that is not the same. They will probably be good for awhile though, but not dominate the league to GS level.

I mean, Boston will be good, but they will be challenged. Raptors are still a really good team. Lebron still exist in the East (for now at least). Phily exist. Miami exist. Washington exist. I don't think Boston is good to the point where they are just going to cakewalk like Lebron teams did for a decade in the East.
 
A GM would have to be insanely dumb to give up a first round pick for Marcus Smart. He is trash and at best a 10th man. Now in his 4th year in the league, he has not improved at all since his rookie year. He's probably the worst offensive pg in the league. Worse than Trey Burke. His solid defense doesn't come close to making up for it.
 
All the admiration for Ainge is so overblown. Their star player couldn’t guard a saw horse.

They arent going to become the next GS. I’m not even convinced that they will even get out of the East if Lebron doesnt leave.

Why are people still convinced that Hood is getting a 20 million dollar contract? You can stone lock guarantee that this does not happen.

I don't think the Jazz are scared of an offer that big. I think they are scared of him getting paid a couple million over what they want to pay him, and feeling obligated to match for a guy they are going to be bringing off the bench as a 6th man.

He isn't trash. He is one of Boston's best players. He makes a pretty big impact defensively, way more than solid.


But yeah, I cant see anyone giving up a pick for him.

I mean if some one wants to pay him 17 million, I guess that's his market value. You pay him and ship him off at some point as an asset. Thing is that all of the teams who try to get you to overpay on your RFA's like Charlotte and Portland, aren't in any position to offer a lot of money. Portland has been a dick like that for years. Glad to see them in capped out Hell. Wish somebody would rescue Dame.

Brown likely won’t ever be an all-star.
