reNoel would solve the problem. My understanding is he could play this year by Feb or March. He can be got cheap Smart and our own first rounder. No worry on re signing Smart. Why not just use the DPE and the Mavs don't have to take back salary ... that way they can fight off the Lakers for George or LeBron because this way we get to get rid of Smart!! |

Hahaha ... but seriously, can't we get something for him. This guy wants to use the DPE (worth a $17MM contract at the deadline) for Tyreke Evans ($3.3MM/yr) ... can't we get him for VM or a late 2nd round draft pick? www.celticslife.com/2017/12/making-case-for-celtics-to-acquire.html |

Lets not piss on Smart too much. He can be signed for low. We need such players on the bench, rotation players that are not expensive.

Talk around here is that Smart will get $20MM, if not here, somewhere else.

The Mays are doomed for a couple years and I like Cuban but I see them a bottom dwellers for at least two years. I just want to snap on the process on Noel. Smart is shooting himself out of a job again toight. Rozier is getting more miutes recenthy and responding a little better. |

If Bulls waive their team option and want more cap space and our 1st round draft pick we could use the DPE for this guy ... Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic Would Still Accept TradeDecember 25th 2017 at 12:23pm CST by Arthur Hill Despite the Bulls’ improved play since Nikola Mirotic‘s return, he remains willing to waive his no-trade clause to join a contender, reports Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times. His relationship with Bobby Portis, who hospitalized Mirotic in an October 17 altercation, is still strained and they haven’t spoken apart from team business, Cowley adds. The organization isn’t trying to force them to resolve their differences as long as they communicate effectively as teammates. Because he didn’t re-sign until late September, Mirotic isn’t eligible to be traded until January 15. His representatives have told the Bulls’ front office that he would accept a deal if it puts him on a contending team. There will be a 24-day window to trade Mirotic before the February 8 deadline, and it’s an option the team is considering, according to Cowley, who says there’s a good chance he will be moved if Chicago can get a mid- to late first-rounder in return. Privately, the front office is concerned that Mirotic is messing up its rebuilding plans, Cowley adds. The Bulls appeared headed for a high lottery pick with a 3-20 start, but won their first seven games with Mirotic in the lineup. They are now 10-22, the fourth worst record in the league but just seven games out of a playoff spot, with Zach LaVine expected back in January. Mirotic is putting up the best numbers of his career since returning from facial fractures. Through nine games, he is averaging 17.9 points and 7.6 rebounds while shooting 51% from the floor and 48% on 3-pointers. With a $12.5MM salary and a team option for the same amount next season, he could be an inexpensive pickup for a contender, but for now he’s enjoying his success in Chicago. www.hoopsrumors.com/2017/12/bulls-nikola-mirotic-would-still-accept-trade.html |

He is the glue guy, the kind you pay to get over the cap once you have other pieces. Don't see too many teams out there in such situation. I see more 14 to 17 range unless his shooting picks up. 20 would be the max that is doubtful. .Just my guees |

He's playing well and he and Portis will soon separate that is obvious. Our own ist rounder? |

He'd certainly help our rebounding and fit's nicely into Brads game plan ... sort of a younger Horford (aside from assts). DPE and a pick (other than Lakers) should work ...  Then go get Tyreke Evans or another wing to help the scoring ... |

Here's another option: Bucks Discuss Trade For McGee Or PachuliaDecember 26th 2017 at 8:56am CST by Arthur Hill In their search for help at center, the Bucks have talked to the Warriors about JaVale McGee and Zaza Pachulia, reports Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic. Rookie Jordan Bell has moved ahead of McGee in Golden State’s center rotation and now is considered a co-starter along with Pachulia depending on the matchup. McGee hasn’t been pleased with his playing time or the fact that he was only offered a minimum contract last offseason and wasn’t promised a starting job. Thompson said he hasn’t been a problem off the court, but the Warriors are willing to move him if they can get value in return. Pachulia would be tougher to part with, as coach Steve Kerr considers him the team’s best defensive big man. Thompson believes the Bucks also asked about Bell, but were probably turned down right away. The teams seem like natural trading partners with the Warriors having five centers on their roster and Milwaukee needing frontcourt help after parting with Greg Monroe in the Eric Bledsoe deal. Golden State has been moving toward smaller lineups with Draymond Green and Kevin Durant seeing time in the middle, so McGee is reduced to playing in garbage time. The 29-year-old is averaging a career-low 8.1 minutes through 29 games.The Warriors will probably seek guard help in any deal, Thompson adds, as Stephen Curry‘s injury has exposed a lack of depth at point guard and a need for another outside shooter. The team will eventually need to open a roster spot for Quinn Cook, who is on a two-way contract and is expected to surpass his 45-day NBA limit. www.hoopsrumors.com/2017/12/bucks-discuss-trade-for-mcgee-or-pachulia.html
If you trust Rozier/Smart as backup to KI then this trade works ...

That would still leave the entire DPE for an elite scorer ...

That's what Danny's hoping will shut the huge window but don't be surprised if someone is willing to overpay for his defense & hustle ... That will have to be a big overpay as the Celts can match a minor overpay. |
