I don't particularly want to give away Horford nor gain Jrue Holiday. I give Irving a probable designation to be on the Celtics next year, but doubtful he'll get extended and essentially play through his prime with them. I like seeing Kevin Love and LeBron James at the press conference taking questions together. LeBron talking a little like he is only committing to giving the Cavaliers high effort and nothing more.

resilient part 2 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I thought Kyrie had only one year remaining on his contract, but ESPN trade machine says 2. If Kyrie does have only a year left Boston won't get top return from him. What does he have left on his contract??? Anyone know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I love Marcus Smart, man. He will drive you crazy at times with his decision making on offense, but he always plays hard. He works his arse off defensively and I love when he got in JR Smith's face after he pushed Horford while he was in the air. Smart is just one of those dudes that plays in the trenches and I love it.

Its been true all playoffs more or less, but he doesnt even try. Its not like they hide him with the best matchup and he gives solid effort, he just completely doesnt care and costs his team buckets. Let's just ask him to do everything everywhere always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need better role players to surround their superstar, young big man. Giving him away for that weak of return does not help that organization.

DoleINGout Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Bulls: Irving Morris Nader Celtics: Markkanen Felicio Asik Protected Future 1st Round Pick Celtics have Aron Baynes and Greg Monroe as imprending free agents. If Baynes decides to look for a regular starting position and better pay, he'll likely get it in free agency. Monroe is easily upgradable. Felicio could work with Brazilian Celtics assistant head coach and prosper as a rotational guy like Baynes has. Although not quite as good as Baynes, Felicio is young and offers a lot of potential plus slightly better athletism than Baynes. Asik would represent a minor upgrade over Monroe in my opinion although the impact is rather neutral. Asik and Felicio are coveted as much to fullfill replacing role players Baynes and Monroe as much as it is necessary to make the trade work cap wise for both teams. Essebtially this trade boils down to the Bulls improving fast and getting Kyrie while the Celtics get another 20 year old who can shoot the lights out and as an added bonus rebound and start at center or power forward standing seven feet tall.

You're right, but I think it's actually a big loss losing Horford more so than it is Irving. Horford started the culture shift and is the Celtics leader. Davis is so young and a little unreliable due to his injury bug so while he is better ehen healthy, I don't think it is a great improvement overall. Jrue Holiday is a good player who would probably fit in with the Celtics but I don't know enough since his ACL tear over a year ago to say I love him on the C's.
