Anyone else think Danny is not done yet for the summer?

I can't help but think that another shoe is going to drop. This Kyrie trade seems like the beginning of an all in move by Danny.

[Moranis]

Boston can't really make a major trade without trading Horford unless the player being acquired has a pretty inexpensive contract.  Neither of those is likely to occur.

As such, I don't think there will be any major transactions, but do expect another free agent or two to be brought in.

Someone like Kristaps Porzingis could be had with little salary and loads of picks. I understand that the Knicks would have to be willing to trade him.

Isn't there a roster spot open? If so, I think Ainge might do one unexpected vet min signing and call it an offseason.

well yeah that is the point.  the Knicks aren't going to trade him and who else is really out there.

Horford for AD works salary wise.

You just distinguished "price" versus "value"!

We still have one open roster spot, so there's that.

As for trades, he already traded everything that could be traded apart from rookies. Players we signed  this summer (Baynes, Theis, Hayward) can't be traded right now.

I think Danny Ainge will wait for Anthony Davis to be made available in 18-24 months time before making another major move.

The balance of the team seems good at the moment so not expecting a minor move either. So no more moves between now and the season opener.

There would have to be a boat load of picks with Horford but the salary works is all. As a framework of a deal...

Agreed.  If NOP does not crack the top 4 in the west in the next two seasons, their management will have a very good reason to fear that he leaves for nothing in free agency.  Celtics could offer Al Horford's salary to match + one of Jaylen/Jayson + a presumably good prospect in the LAL pick + another future draft pick.  That package will likely be one of the best on the table.  Ant Davis will also have some say in where he gets traded to by indicating which teams he would likely resign with.  Teams not on that list will not offer as much.

[liam]

If the trade is rescinded I'd say there was a really big chance of another move.
