DoleINGout Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Up until this season, Marcus Smart was a low percentage scorer and I'd argue a low IQ player on offense overall. Doesn't help that Kyrie Irving, Terry Rozier, and Marcus Morris led the trend of isolation basketball that ruined the Celtics season last year. Jaylen Brown would just try to jump over everyone, Tatum was always thrown off rhythm, Gordon Hayward was still fragile mentally and physically, and Aron Baynes went on runs of hucking up three pointers whilst going through the process of expanding his range. Even Semi Ojeleye would only seem to settle for threes if he ever got the ball kicked out to him. At least Al Horford wasn't completely selfish to the point of crippling the offense. Smart however prior to this season was as much a part of the Celtics problem on offense as anyone. This year? Smart is arguably the best player all-around on the team with Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker, and a healthy Gordon Hayward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) So @champ11 .. what would it take for Denver to trade Mason Plumlee to Boston? Would you do it for Daniel Theis or Kanter and perhaps a first-round pick? Edited November 23, 2019 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Nuggets would do Plumlee for Theis but I don't think the salaries would work for Boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off to Memphis for holding onto Iggy to flip him for something of value at the ASB instead of buying him out and letting him go to LA.

NYRaider Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Portland sucks this year. What are some realistic trades they can make? I'd look to flip Whiteside and McCollum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassan Whiteside, Skal Labissiere, 2020 1st Round Pick and 2023 1st Round Pick for Blake Griffin or Kevin Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if this could work but if there was a way to get an agreement with the team, let's say Boston, agreement is a buyout / trade to Boston for let's say a draft pick, so this way they can squeeze in his salary in the buyout and Boston gives some cash for the buyouts as well. Other than that none of the top teams have any kind of cap space to absorb 17 million for AI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland, LA, Dallas, Miami, and a few others could match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
