Probably. To be honest I never paid that close of attention to the trades. Outside of Tatum I can't think of another player on the roster right now from those Nets trades.

I'm not sure either, and those picks got spread around a bit.

Jaylen Brown

Also got Kyrie by trading one of the Brooklyn picks

Thanks for the info. I thought there was some others but I wasn't sure who.

I'm just looking forward to what the Celtics will look like w/o Kyrie. I wasn't happy when they traded for him. But I'll be happy when he's no longer in Boston.

So, James Young, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, and a piece of Kyrie (who held down Brown and Tatum), while the Nets got Kuzma (but traded that pick obviously) and Sasha Vezenkov, who hasn't come over yet (in terms of draft picks used to offset the active players at the time involved in the deal).

Giannis wants Bucks' free agents back next year

I guess this means they won't resign Middleton huh? Ohh wait that is just @buckalis opinion

 

[dtgold88]

How much have the Celtics really profited from that Brooklyn trade so far? Just Tatum?

Brown, or was that their own pick?

 

[dtgold88]

I knew I hated that guy from first sight. Just oozes douche.

hoodwinked a blind man...all ya need to know.

Does Giannis know he wants them to trade Snell, and can get PG for him?

To paraphrase The Godfather, we won't see him no more

yep...totally forgot Kyrie. But might not even have a part of Kyrie from the deal in a couple months.

Banned or he just walked away with his tail between his legs?

I don't see why, his style was pretty different, obviously a foreigner. But sure maybe

Since you are among the trolls that twist everything they "reply" upon, I never said that the Bucks "won't resign Middleton"... What I've said is that it will depend on Khris' requirements, If he asks for more than 5/110M, the Bucks won't resign him and they'll be right not to.

 

[buckalis]

In any case, I'm pretty confident that Khris will accept a new contract that won't be of more than 20M for next season.

Nothing surprises me w/ the dysfunctional Celtics this year. They took a step back from last season. The only thing different is Kyrie. I'll be glad when he's gone. And Stevens has the off season & next years preseason to see where Hayward is after that injury. He may never be the same, which wouldn't surprise me. But if he doesn't show the right improvement maybe he shouldn't be playing 26 minutes a game in the future.

To be fair, the top of the East is significantly stronger than it was last year.

It is safe to say the Celts did not maximize their talent or live up to expectations. But it is hard to say if they were truly worse this year than they were last playing without Kyrie.

 

[tlance]

I will and have said what I like about Stevens being overrated is players actually get blamed when they screw up. Usually the coach (or refs) take the fall by most fans.

Ainge has definitely made some decent moves but he's pretty much living off the Brooklyn deal. Would be comical if they were able to pass his team even though he was able to use their best picks the last half decade or so.

Pretty sure Ainge made the deals to get KG and Ray Allen too.

He built a superteam out of thin air. That was pretty amazing.

Want to bet on that?

He was bad in the ECF. Teams will still be willing to pay him once they strike out on the top tier FAs.

And if Giannis wants him back, Milwaukee is playing with fire if they let him walk because they got cheap.

They have a contending caliber core. They need experience and time.
