BOS/PHX Trade

BOS/PHX Trade

BOS: Memes and jokes aside Brooks brings some of that edge and toughness the C’s lacked in this year’s playoffs. He doesn’t solve all their problems but it’s a start. Also doesn’t affect their quest to remain under the tax going into next summer.

PHX: Flip Brooks’ expiring deal into a cost-controlled asset in Hauser who brings playoff experience and shooting. Garza showed he can be a solid big off the bench during the regular season.

MIL/GS/LAC 3-Team Deal

MIL: Starting over with the 5th overall pick in this year’s draft, and acquire valuable future assets from Golden State.

GSW: Acquire Giannis to pair with Curry to give them a real shot at deep playoff runs for Steph’s final years, also AJ Green as a depth piece.

LAC: Move down from 5th to 10th overall and pocket the 11th pick along the way, go into next season with Kawhi, Garland, and two lottery picks.

GSW / PHI Trade

GSW: Embiid joins the Warriors for one final run in the Curry era.

PHI: Do the Sixers make another run with Embiid or start to look towards the future with Maxey, Edgecombe, and draft picks. Here they’d receive 11th overall this year, the right to swap in ‘31, and an unprotected in ‘32 well after Curry and Embiid have hung it up.

BOS/ATL/LAC 3-Team Deal

BOS: Receives Leonard, Okongwu, and Dunn. Switch out JB for Kawhi in the starting lineup and avoid having to give JB the massive contract extension he has looming. OO and Dunn help fill some of the holes the team still has after the departures of Jrue and KP.

ATL: Receives Brown. After seeing how much success their team had late in the season, would the Hawks add Brown to the mix and try to take the next step.

LAC: Receives the 8th overall pick, Daniels, Risacher, and salary filler (Hield). They’d have a chance to start over with a core of the 5th & 8th overall picks, Garland, and Daniels.

BOS/TOR/DEN 3-Team Trade

*Works with 26-27 salaries on Spotrac

BOS: Restocks the supporting cast around Tatum. Braun dealt with injury this past season but is still only 25. Barrett provides decent ball handling and scoring off the bench. Poeltl, only a season removed from averaging 15 and 10, strengthens their big man depth. Would also receive the 19th overall pick from Toronto.

TOR: Raptors add an All-Star with championship experience in Jamal Murray to their Barnes/Ingram/IQ/CMB core.

DEN: Essentially swapping Murray for Brown, the argument can be made JB is a slightly better player overall, however, the chemistry Murray and Jokic have developed over the years may make the trade not worth it. Boston would also send the 27th pick, giving Denver back to back selections at 26th and 27th overall.

Rockets/Celtics Deal

Not sure if Boston would do this, but posting anyways for the feedback

HOU: The lack of ball handling and shooting was evident in the playoffs. Yes, getting FVV back will help with that but adding another ball handler in White would set them up for a solid guard rotation going into next year with FVV, Sheppard, and White. Rockets can throw in the 39th pick in this draft as well.

BOS: The Celtics would receive Jabari Smith Jr, who’ll be 24 going into next season, and Adams who’ll be 33 and coming off season ending ankle surgery. The C’s would be looking at a starting line up of Pritchard/Brown/Tatum/Smith Jr/Queta and a bench unit of Scheierman, Hauser, Adams, and Gonzalez. They’d also have the 27th pick and the non-taxpayer MLE to address the ball handling role available with White gone.
