Woj Trade Deadline Show Live

[PhoSita]

Raps get Tucker and Ibaka.  Celts make no moves.

Alright, we're officially playing for the second round and that's it.


I think we're building for 5 years from now, guys.

Boston now to me falls behind the Raptors in the East

I can see the Cs winning the opening round and that is about all at this point. Sooner or later Danny has to stop collecting assests and use them to add some help outside of the first round picks

[jpotter33]

What an absolute fail this deadline was. Thanks, Danny. Everyone gets better, and we just stay the same hoping for lottery balls.

Woj: The Phoenix Suns are trading PJ Tucker to the Toronto Raptors, league source tells @TheVertical.

Toronto are getting better and better.

It better be for a 1st.  If it's for a second, I will be cranky at Ainge (as I said in some thread about trade deadline disappointments.)

So stupid. Can't wait until we get effed over in the lottery and are picking third and fourth again, because "flexibility" and "building for the future." 

[TA9]

Jared Sullinger and two future second round picks are going back to Phoenix for P.J.

Soooo we could have gotten P.J. for Zeller?

Two seconds.  I is angry.

I knew the #2 seed won't be lived for long.

The Raptors got a major upgrade in Ibaka and Tucker.
The Wizards picked up Bogdonovic.
The Hawks got Ilyasova.

The Celtics did absolutely nothing but get an ailing Avery Bradley back from injury. We're looking at around the 4th or 5th seed by season's end.

It is for Sully and two 2nds.

yeah, that trade p---es me off too.  Toronto seems to have moved ahead of us in the last couple of weeks.

The opportunity to make a play to contend this year wasn't there, so Danny chose to keep his options open this summer.

I don't think that's crazy.

Main question is if the Celts made a mistake not trying to get Cousins.

[jpotter33]

Lol Philly still can't find a deal for Okafor lol

I say we swipe up Okafor for cheap

Freaking anything to upgrade our bigs rotation at this point. It will be a complete failure by Danny to not at least upgrade our bigs rotation in some way.

Why?  Why give up assets just to gain a marginal advantage in a hypothetical second round matchup?

We have WAAAYYYY too many assets as it is, and we're not going to be able to use all of them. Might as well use some of our minor assets and upgrade our team now. Nobody is saying using Brown, Smart, or the Nets picks for that stuff, but something like the Clips pick?

 Boston Celtics: No deals. "Standing pat," source says.

Lol.

Right now, we need Tyler Zeller more than we need PJ Tucker. Tucker was only relevant for us if we sent some combination of Bradley, Crowder, and Smart out in a trade.
