What's new

We HAVE to make a trade.

Boston not going trade their best big men. They are not looking at the lottery like Utah. They have championship or bust attitude so they not trading Horford. This another dumb idea
... ok. The Celtics are one game up on the Jazz, after the Jazz have had the toughest schedule and the Celtics are in the eastern conference. But whatevs.
 
Favors for Otto Porter straight up makes a ton of sense.

Favors would immediately become their best big and would probably put up pretty good numbers as a full time starting center.

Washington gets an expiring contract and a good fit. Does our trade exception make the salaries match? Also, how do trade exceptions work?

They cant be used to increase incoming in a trade like that.
 
Kangz looking at OP Jr. always made sense to me.

He does have a trade bonus that could help him block a trade if he didn’t want to go there... Wiz could just take the hit but it might prove onerous.
 
from 538 website

Rubio has generally been able to hang his hat on his defense and his passing whenever he’s struggling to shoot. But this season, he has sometimes looked a half-step slower laterally on D, allowing nearly a 10th of a point more per drive he defends, at 0.98 points per play, than he did last season, according to Second Spectrum. And while opponents have long sagged off Rubio, daring him to shoot, that experiment has paid far greater dividends this season, as he’s logged just a 46.6 percent effective field goal rate on jumpers when given 6 or more feet of open space

Shots from at least 10 feet away.

— down from 53.5 percent just last year, and the worst percentage he’s connected on since the 2013-14 campaign, according to NBA Advanced Stats.
 
wonder what we could get for rubio

I think he has pretty decent value for the few teams who want PG help. His expiring contract allows another team could test drive him for a year and walk away if they choose to. Teams looking for PG help or would consider adding PG:

Orlando
Phoenix
Detroit
San Antonio
Chicago
And New York

LMFAO. You would be a GM's wet dream. The hate for Favors/Rubio and want for a stretch 4 is perplexing. You all willing to throw away assets for a guy like Ariza?

Phoenix takes any of these offers and orders a lobster dinner.
