Premium Member Diesel Posted July 11, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Meanwhile, there may be trouble in Boston... Quote A July 10 report from The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach states that Jaylen Brown is questioning his position on the Celtics hierarchy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Why should we be held hostage in any proposed deal? We have negotiated for some time on a deal. We know right now what we are willing to do. Our offer is on the table. When you decide, let us know. Meantime, we are going shopping. If we find another deal, remove our offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post Diesel Posted July 11, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 You ever think that the motivation for picking Siakam may be Money? All this time, it has been said that we want Siakam. He's not a good outside shooter. He's not an elite defender. The main reason we would take him over KAT is Availability. Yeah, the KAT people don't want to talk about availability. However, there's another reason that looms larger than availability.... We can see what he can do without making a longtime deal. Hawks get Siakam, they get their Big three, and Siakam is just a rental. Not to his benefit, to our benefit. He's got a good track record with injuries, so he will play. However, if we don't win a chip... What will people say? Can't say that we didn't put together a strong team. Can't say we didn't try. Can't say that we didn't have a good coach. Siakam and his 1 year deal becomes a good scapegoat. AND We've cleared some big contracts that we didn't like as much. To top things off, with his Bird Rights, we can match whatever offer he gets and more importantly, we can trade him. The thing about trading him, is that he will fetch something good. Unfortunately, KAT won' t be the same. Neither will JB. Their contracts will hold them here. The fact is that we have a cheap owner. So getting a contract like Siakam's is a good way to remain strongly competitive and at the same time, stay under the cap. We will Balk like Boston if it comes down to a 5yr 242 Million dollar deal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheroatl Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Let's pivot here. Let's say the Siakam trade isn't closed, Raptors stay stubborn and lose him for nothing in UFA. What are the realistic star trade targets now (besides JB and KAT, because those players are NOT on the block)? I'm sure the Hawks can run it back sans JC + plus Patty Mills, I think that team compete for a middle level playoff spot with Quin. However, going deep against a Dame Miami and Boston with KP we might not have it yet. Edited July 11, 2023 by theheroatl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've spent a week rather frequently posting some variation of "Kat and Brown are unavailable and never linked to the hawks by the media". Now you want people to do the same thing you've been somewhat complaining about, just with other star players?

Didn't feel like making another hypothetical thread. I'm still referencing players that could be available for trade sooner than later. I think the JB situation is fluid and KAT seems like they want to run it back. Hence I mentioned "realistic" trade targets.

I would completely understand; however, this team a year older with a huge coaching staff upgrade + Mills and - JC is at least better than last year. I’m not saying that this means we should be satisfied. Just don’t force a move… stay the course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would Orlando be interested in Siakam? They just waived Bol Bol to help clear up their abundance at the 4/5? Posturing? I'm sure they'd have to send back Carter and more so that could help, but are they going to play Banchero and Siakam as interchangeable PF and C? In other news, good to have my old username profile back. Thanks to those behind the scenes who got me back online. Although this username doesn't make sense for this season in life, it only feels right after years on this site using it. lol. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
