I'm not sure MKG is down to vet min status.
And you'd think if that's all he's gonna get, he'd try to find either a winning team or somewhere he can get decent minutes.
Possibly the latter with NYK, but you have to figure RJB and Knox (and maybe some toppings) get the Sf minutes.
RJB and Bullock and Franc the SG minutes.  So not much available maybe.
If I were MKG I'd try to get $3M - $5M or find a winning or good situation.

Hope Top Dog works out, but I would have taken Avdija, TyH and Vassell ahead of ObiT.


I had Avdija higher as well, but with less info than Rose and his staff had.  Like I said earlier - lets hope this isnt one we have to constantly revisit.

We know about Luka - and Rubio - but also about Bargnani, Milicic, Jan Vesely, etc.

[bodiddley]

Yeah.
Well, Bargnani was a skilled player but wasn't motivated enough and not up for contact.
Milicic had a great physique but didn't really like basketball.
Vesely was a mess.  No real skills.

I think international scouting is better and the int'l leagues are as well.
Though it's always tough drafting a 19 year old.
Who knew what Franc would be able to do, and the same goes for Hayes.

Avdija has a solid body and nice all-around skills.  Guys who can pass and shoot and have good BB IQ are usually gonna have success.  Though his shooting numbers were less than his form would suggest.

[kidcarter8]

Supposedly the talks were Turner and McDermott but Ainge wanted something more.

I find this hard to believe.


I dont know - does Myles Turner really fit the current style of Celtics play - or their culture?

[bodiddley]

It's too soon to know what direction the Knix are going in.
The team is still fairly unformed.

So it's not easy to know what moves to suggest until we make some other moves.
Except maybe some vet min deals.

I'd drop a 4/$94 on FVV, starting at $25M and dropping $1M per year.
Wouldn't he like to have his own team to run, have the big stage in NYC, and make $23.5M per.

Lock in a prime PG who plays D, can hit timely 3's, and can push the pace and make solid reads.  Would help the development of RJB, Tops, Mitch.  We'd really just need a starting SF.
be nice to have D from your PG and C. 

[kidcarter8]

But what would we get in trade?  Marcus Morris fetched a late first rd pick.  Would Harkless or Portis even fetch a first?  Probaby not.

Morris fetched a FIRST, a SECOND (early, since it is 2021 Detroit pick) and a look at Harkless.

Knicks did good on that one.  Every time you see Quickley think of how we used some of that cap space in '19-'20.  Ditto later on if we get something of value for Randle.

Just looked up DAVIS and they have him listed at 6-9, 218

That thin, really?

Interesting - of course I had to do a Jordan Hill compare.  Turns out that while J Hill would be top 50 status in rebound percentage, career had he the minutes to qualify, ED D makes the top 20 - and just needs 1700 more minutes (3 more healthy seasons?) to make the list.

(J Hill at 7600 minutes over his 8 seasons to Davis 13,250 with their impressive rates)

Not a bad comp.  Jordan with a bit better offensive numbers

Be warned - Davis shoots .583 from the line, career.

Knicks ready to sign 6-2 guard Miles Powell out of Seton Hall.

[FWK00]

Knicks ready to sign 6-2 guard Miles Powell out of Seton Hall.

Did they run out of pens?

[kidcarter8]

Antonio Davis options with Lakers -

2 years, 68 mil (option on year 2)
3 years, 106 mil (option on year 3)
4 years, 147
5 years, 189

Davis will take at least through Thanksgiving to mull his decision.

[kidcarter8]

So, what do we think - Hayward for Randle and our 2021 #1, top ten protected?

Would free up starter time for OBI

X
Barrett
Hayward
Toppin
X

3-85 for Gordo

[kidcarter8]

If Ainge is really bold he could give us WALKER as well

[kidcarter8]

3-85 for Gordo


Make it 4-120

[kidcarter8]

Never mind the Walker idea - bonkers on our part

There is this re:  Bogdan.  Seeks 18 mil per

Bogdan Bogdanovic believes he can get a four-year offer for more than what the Milwaukee Bucks can do in a sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings. “The word on the street, I always have to be careful of this because I get in trouble, the word on the street is he thinks he can get an offer, or there’s belief that there’s offers out there that average $18 million per year,” said Brian Windhorst. “Somewhere in the four-year, $72 million range. That, I think a lot of people think would come from Atlanta. I think the most Milwaukee can do is something closer to the $15 million to $16 million per year range. Over four years, that’s $8 million or $9 million, depending on where all the decimal points go. That’s not an insignificant amount of money.

Aren't we in at this price?

its the internet kid and there are lots of rumors out there.

If Gordo is healthy and can be a 20-6-4 type guy again, he's worth a lot. He's a smart player.

and he's probaby one of the better FAs out there, he'll get paid, or overpaid.

I dont know if Turner is the answer but he could be, he's still young and the Celts could use a decent big.
