73 mil for Walker next 2 years.  OKC, having secured the #16 pick to go with their own #1 - will now look to move Kemba again

Celts also get usable big guy Moses Brown

They could have just paid Rozier. Williams, Brown, and Fall make a pretty imposing gaggle of young bigs with Al getting good money in his role as assistant coach.

No Al Horford to Knicks


As I suspected - back to Celtics

OKC gets Kemba and a first rounder.


Ainge's mess cleaned up - sort of.

heh

Brad showed he can make a deal. IMO its a net positive, Kemba as an on/off managed minutes PG who couldn't play D, had to go. Al as a sound fundamental 4-5, who maybe plays 20+ minutes, who provides leadership on court and in clubhouse who knows JnJ and they know him, and who can mentor Time Lord. That Brad felt comfortable bringing him back is telling. Brad needs to find a Rondo-lite PG to orchestrate the offense and play D.

Celts are still a pretty young team with a lot of home grown 1s who may produce as the NBA returns to normal.

Kemba was a good guy, who caught a bad break. But he became almost unusable for a team with contender aspirations.

Who would you trade a 24 YO AS quality player for?

I can think of maybe 2-3 guys on my short list I might consider.

You're joking right?

Doc can't play Simmons in crunch time unless its a blow-out and you want a 2-way AS player on a good contract for him?

Nope-We're not remotely on the same page.

Pass on Wiggins, and that 1 will be the 30th pick

You should probably move to your next best idea.

I've read the same names you have. Seems Billups or Cassell are favorites.

And I like Simmons with Tatum

Warriors would do that trade in a heartbeat.

Celts would laugh at it.

And Simmons and Tatum could have been team mates in Philly if Philly had taken Tatum with the #1.

As you may have heard they payed up for Fultz.

Another guard who couldn't/wouldn't shoot.

Not interested in Philly headcases.

If you want a young star on a good contract you don't offer question marks.

Knicks - 21st pick

I do like sophomores in the draft generally. Think he’ll be available at 32?

WHY

Why would the Celtics move on from Jaylen?  Absurd on the face of it.  He and Jayson are cornerstones.  Getting better and better with each passing season.   

Impressed that Stevens pulled the trigger.  The #16 pick is a significant gimme.  Horford an asset at the 4&5, even at 53 million, still a savings of 20 million over Kemba.  And yes, Moses Brown is a young big BIG with some potential. 

I suspect Sam Presti is going to look to flip Kemba and find him a happy home. 

They certainly have the draft assets to do so, but not many teams with the cap space to absorb such a contract.  Those that are at the bottom end of the salary cap spacers, such as NY, Charlotte and Sacramento would seem unwilling or already flush with PGs.  Meanwhile the Thunder have big PG/SG Alexander and young PG Maledon. 

MEANWHILE...

Some of my Knicks friends texting me about how ZION's family is unhappy with New Orleans, and LUKA upset with the Mavs.  And a host of untenable, absurdist trade scenarios in the blogosphere.  One of which would amuse Brother Bank, where we trade Frank for Marcus. 

False hope springs eternal.

Guys I could see falling to us & jumping in among the draft eligible this year.

Backcourt: Bouknight, Mann, Duarte

Wings: Jeremiah Robinson Earl, Trey Murphy III, Z Williams,  Franz, Belgian Vrenz

Bigs: Bassey, Day’ron Sharpe, Filip Petrusev, Jay Huff, Sandro, Moses Wright, Kofi Cockburn

This might be subject to change, but not much. We could find some decent depth if we stay put.
