Since no one has linked it yet, here's the rumored trade that Scal was talking about... 3 way deal involving GS/Boston/Philly involving Noel, Crowder, AB, Brooklyn Pick and Klay. Boston would get Klay. GSW would get Noel and one of Crowder/AB. 76'ers would get Brooklyn pick and other of Crowder/AB.
Quote from: tazzmaniac on November 14, 2016, 04:26:00 PMBradley, Crowder and the 2017 Nets 1st is too much for Klay Thompson. We'd need to find a starting SF in addition to a starting big with less tradable assets. Not clear how we'd build a contender around IT/Klay/Horford. Without the 2017 Nets 1st, it wouldn't be hard for other teams to outbid us for Cousins. You're a Celtics fan?

I've made quite a few posts on my desire for Ainge to trade for Cousins as the best path for us to become contenders. My Sixers interest is 90% Embiid and 10% on seeing the results of the Hinkie process which I thought was the correct approach for the Sixers rebuild. Unfortunately we had no chance to draft Embiid and have even less chance to trade for him now.

Honestly, I'm pretty confident the Cousins thing won't work out because he is clearly a loser and a terrible leader. He reminds me of Melo in that way. However, the Celtics don't have an option at this point. There is no one available and those picks are about to turn into poo poo
Quote from: Surferdad on November 14, 2016, 12:21:55 PMNope, not worth Jae and a BKLN pick. Bradley is pretty much as good as Klay now.That's an absurd comment. Bradley may never make an all star team. Klay is the best 2 in the league.

There has always been twitter trolls and realgm idiots who spread completely nonsense fabricated rumors. We've always had our Croters and CelticsThugs, but it was for the most part contained. Within the last year, there's been a growing problem with nonsense clickbait blogs that literally make up bull**** daily. Off the top of my head we have morningledger.com (where this nonsense Klay Thompson rumor comes from and the same site which had us trading for Paul George last month, for instance)... there's also, Inquisitr (which has us trading for James Harden this week), Sportsrageous (which has us trading for Carmelo Anthony this week) and Yibada (which has us trading everyone for everyone). I'm sure there's others. You merely need to google "(Popular Player Name) Trade" and you'll find some nonsense rumor from one of these nonsense sites. Can we have every thread associated with these garbage sites locked? Can mods create a ban list or a warning for every "rumor" thread that says "please do not post from one of these sites". It's a sickness and it needs to be destroyed.

...fake trade value of the Brooklyn pick has been impacted by their hot start.

Bradley could made the ASG this year. However, my main point is that Klay doesn't move the needle over Bradley, especially if you have to give up Crowder and I pick (if not more). So let me modify my statement:Bradley is pretty much as good as Klay for what the Celtics need now.

These news aggregators seem unwilling to combat fake news, probably because it means fewer clicks on ads.
the fake news on Facebook is a scary thing. We're living in a time where more than ever perception can become reality. You can post entirely fictional things on Facebook and people will believe it. It's a real problem.
