Celtics emerge as favorite for Kemba Walker!

[Shanemansj13]

simple. dont sign kemba. problem solved.

Make the Capela trade and sign DLo or Brogdon. Could probably squeeze them both into the cap, definitely Brogdon.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Damn... shut up you guys... all of you...

YOU'RE JINXING IT!!!

It's a guarantee Kemba signs with Boston

Book it in

 

[Stakesarehigh]

They gotta dump picks and get rid of Gordon imo

DLO max is a little over 27. So you would need to dump Bear and semi as well. And probably another player

i seriously think wannamaker can do it if need be. we have rozier (who only goes right if you watch, no left at all), and the 2 guys we drafted.

PG is a dime a dozen. celtics need size.

I need to see who they sign to their front court. They've got nothing with Horford and Baynes gone. Morris is too undersized by himself even if he does resign. I saw they were hoping to get in on the Phi/Hou Jimmy Butler sign and trade (if it happens) and snag Capela which would be great, but if they just end up with some average hohum front court player, I don't think they are contenders. They'll be a playoff team, but that's about it

This is what I was talking about.

Celtics Reportedly Trying To Become Third Team In Rockets-76ers Trade

"Who and what the Celtics would send out in the deal — and where — remains a mystery, and a rather complicated one at that. If the Celtics sign Walker to a max deal, the would only have the Room Exception ($4.8 million for two years) and league minimum contracts, so they’d have to trade away someone to fit Capela’s $16 million salary."

Would Boston give up Marcus Smart essentially for Capela?

It's an interesting conundrum.

A lot of hype by Woj on Twitter. Not holding my breath

How much cap space would they have left after signing kemba again?

 

[Rock Strongo]

gimme capella

 

[shopson67]

I'm guessing the Rockets won't trade anyone unless they can trade all 3, so it's still a long shot.

 

[Shanemansj13]

gimme capella

Close to nothing apparently. I thought it was $5M or so

 

[shopson67]

Looks like just under $2.3M, renouncing all their free agents and keeping cap holds for their two first round picks and Semi's non-guaranteed contract. Dumping Semi gets them to approximately $3M (dumps 1.6M, but adds a cap hold for an empty roster spot of $897K).

Report: Hornets offered Kemba Walker significantly less than max contract

Well I can see why the C's are favs now.

"By being named to an All-NBA team this past season, Walker became eligible to sign a five-year, $221 million supermax contract with the Hornets. They could also offer him a regular max deal which would be worth $190 million over five years. The most any other team can offer Walker is a four-year, $140 million contract. However, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith reports that Charlotte’s best offer to this point was $160 million over five years."

That's only $32M/year. Other teams can offer more a year, just a year less.

So if this is true it makes you wonder why Jordan did not move him a year or two ago..................what am I missing here?

Woj is about the only guy I trust, and even that is a Reagan trust but verify
