We'll see. If Danny gets a legit big, the Celtics absolutely have a chance.

He's better than Crowder at everything but defense and it's not like he is a slouch there.
Anyways this gives Boston another playmaker other than IT. They'll be good but they won't be beating the cavs soon unless they get some rebounding bigs.
Brilliant Pacers phone would be ringing off the hook right now from the Celtics but luckily they got their franchise altering Oladipo.

There are no legit bigs available.
My hot take is that if Hood is healthy and Burks has two functioning legs, the drop off in terms of W-Ls -- at least in terms of their overall metrics on the court -- shouldn't be impacted too badly.
The West being stronger maybe brings them down (I think with Hayward they were still the favorite for the 4 seed) but I don't see why this has to mean the Jazz aren't going to the playoffs etc.

"If Waiters turns us down", being said from a laker fan.
Ainge outdueling Pat Riley for the biggest DA available.
Love it. Not sure if I should be happy or sad that I essentially missed the entire ordeal while at the beach.
What a totally devastating blow for the jazz.
Exactly, because the only legit big in the whole league is Zizic and he's already signed to a Celtics contract.

Exum needs to show something for them to really improve. I think it's time they commit him at sg rather than making him a pg.
Also love the Mitchell pick. I think he has all star potential.

Tons of them. The problem is everyone will be asking for those picks and Danny ain't giving them.

Hayward has gone to the dark side... shame.

Not even the Memphis or Clippers picks potentially? Or any 2nds?

Awww, was that the time he saw dad Delonte cheering for him from the stands?
Drummond? I mean, we don't know what could change between now and the trade deadline. There will be someone available, the bigger question is if Danny is willing to part with his assets.

Yeah, go ahead and take Drummond. Go for it man. Just go for it. No need to hesitate
I would assume Crowder, Smart, and the #1 picks besides the Brooklyn and LAL/SAC picks are on the table.
Its barley more then Drew Holiday got, and Hayward is 100 times better the him

If they are cool with paying some tax money
LMA or Drummond probs.. but it's gonna cost them a Brooklyn and/or Lakers pick most likely....
? Never lol
Not much then, any of the bigs worth having at a non-fill-one-specific-role level (like a Dedmon) will cost something that's worth something real. Smart is RFA, Crowder is solid but not enough. Those other picks are firsts but trading five dimes for a dollar isn't gonna happen with this probably because none of the good bigs are in contract years -- except DJ.
Celtics don't want Drummond's contract. LMA doesn't solve their problems.
Zaza is out there

As a C fan I've already turned on him, boooo that man. Boooo!
This is gaf nba we had a guy here months ago talking about how LaMarcus Aldridge is better than Kawhi Leonard. I also think there was another guy saying CP3's career has been better than Curry's or something. So your really sure about that?

On the other hand though.
The Jazz fucked up that one summer of 2014 when Hayward was a RFA. Could have tied him down for more years (Hayward was nearly on the Cavs if LeBron didn't out nowhere contact the Cavs)

Actually Zeller has already been waived. Thank God.
This is why I respect you. You don't get on the bandwagon of hate you start it.
Get that shit outta my face
Yeah Dedmon probably makes the most sense among the free agents especially since that means Danny can continue to hoard assets. This is going to sound cruel, but I wonder if Derrick Favors might work as well in a trade.
I'll take Kawhi after losing Paul George.

Why would Sacramento agree to that, ever?
They actually have their heads back on these days. Papagiannis is incredibly raw, Skal is a power forward, WCS is young talent, and he's a Kentucky player (Kentucky players are incredibly valued by the Suns, Kings, and possibly the Pelicans)

I'd take LMAo for garbage picks and Crowder

I don't understand lol. Are you saying there are questions about Drummond as a player or questions if Boston has the pieces to trade for him?
You son of a b****. We will bring Matt Bonner out of retirement you'll trade for him and like it. In all honesty we're never getting rid of LaMarcus Aldridge
