They would finally be in a position to actually rebuild like fans have been wanting for a decade now. the Cs don't need anymore young players for a good minute but i'm sure there's someone that can offer a better package for grant than what the celtics can. if all it takes is a TPE and some firsts, then hell yer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum and Brown will keep them as late 1st and I would rather get an earlier first with potential to improve in the lotto. Grant is valuable, he isn't a throw away so they would need to add something aside from some late picks to get him IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum and Brown are not even in their primes yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather move him to a team like the Blazers for a pick 4 years down the road when Dame decides to do what Harden did. He is under contract on a reasonable deal for a third option on a team, so no point in giving him away. Its not like we can recruit good free agents to Detroit anyways so having cap space does us no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the 10th pick and is literally unplayable during a year where the Suns have championship aspirations, how is that not a meh pick? Even though passing Haliburton was a big mistake Payne has been so good it wouldn’t matter that much right now. It sure would’ve been nice having CP’s future replacement though. I wasn’t a fan of drafting STIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a higher pick is more valuable than 2 lower picks. But from Boston, this year's 1st would be better than asking for a pick 3-5 years from now.

Haliburton has been better than Payne and with his size/length you could've even used CP3/Haliburton/Booker on the floor together for stretches.

Supersuavesky Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Curious if this is just me. A friend floated around a trade that moved Patrick Beverly to the Kings. I argued that they had no reason to make this trade as it didn't help them win. Am I wrong? Does Beverly have some value I'm not seeing?

He argued it would help them with their mentality because Beverly has never been on a losing team and that he was already better than their current back ups. It got in to be a big thing.
