I'll leave this thread here cause it'll get more attention.
All things Celtics and NBA related for the offseason of 2022.

Any of you have any interest in John Collins? The Hawks are intent to trade him before the draft.
He'll make $23+ mill this upcoming season, so we'll have to do a multi-team trade where our $17 mil (and probably non core players and draft picks) gets spread out among a few teams with us ultimately getting Collins.
I'm not a big fan, but we could do worse.

Anyone watch enough of him? Looking at the stats, he strikes me as someone who has inflated numbers and might look better on paper since he's the [HASH]2 guy there in Atlanta? Only reason I can imagine why the Hawks want to deal him at 24 years old.

Shows that we have had interest, but it has to be at the right price. Now that ATL is intent on moving him, maybe they'll lessen their asking price.

Only reason I can imagine why the Hawks want to deal him at 24 years old. My impression is he wants to be a guy who contributes more to winning. When ATL went deep into the playoffs two years ago, Collins was a big factor why.

If Kyrie doesn't reach an agreement with the Nets, he has a list of teams he's open to be sign-and-traded to. And if Kyrie goes, Durant will most likely asked to be traded, because he didn't sign with BRK to be the lone banana (it was supposed to be big three od KD, Kyrie and Harden).
It was Kyrie who masterminded the plan for all of them to collaborate their talents in BRK and win a title. Now, he's gone and damaged another NBA team. They once looked promising, with head coach Kenny Atkins and a lot of hard working youths. Now they have a questionable coach (Steve Nash) and players jumping ship (even Bruce Brown might be leaving).
SMH at Kyrie. BRK again heading into a rebuild.

Keeping a close eye on the draft in case Brad throws a curveball and makes a trade for a pick.

Our former fan favorite, Kemba Walker, is now going to DET. And then he'll probably get bought out there.
Wonder if he'll stay in the East? Charlotte, Boston, New York, Detroit, ??

Just for talk during the offseason, if Durant becomes available because of BRK's meltdown, would you trade Jaylen Brown and a couple of future first round draft picks (and fillers to make the salary work)?
Discuss.

Discuss. Absolutely not. I think it destroys our team over night. Durant is possibly one of the most overrated players in the history of the game.

For me, the fact that KD is 9 years older than JB is the killer. If Durant were 27 it would be different.

Clippers are said to be shopping Luke Kennard. He led the league in 3 pt shooting percentage last year at 44.9%, and shot 44.6% the year before, so it was no fluke. He turned 26 today, has two years left plus a team option for a third and his salary of $13.7 mil fits into the traded player exception we have.
Any interest?
