    200 million contracts for 100 million contracts.

    If they sign kyrie irving max they would have to pay 1000 million luxury tax for next 3 years.

    Better than Love at this time and can bring more within 2 years than Capela

    I would like the trade if it included another pick

    A Harden fanboi calling out another player in regards to sinking under pressure and dependability issues. Only on Clutchfans.

    More clutch than anything Jim’s ever done in the playoffs.

    How many time we have to go over this....win now teams, have no use for young developing talent. It makes no since to have them...n font say look at the raps...all this young guys was developing already n they brought in vets gasol Kawhi green with Lowry there to put them over...oh n surge. Shikam is rare. But that's only really one young guy

    So it’s an opt in and snt like Paul right?

    I assume it would be Capela, Gordon, Shumpert and Nene for Horford and Hayward.

    Paul/Rivers
    Harden/Green
    Hayward/House
    Tucker/Faried
    Horford/DJ

    Well that should be better than last year but I see injury prone players up and down this roster.

    Boston will only make that trade if Irving leaves which is very likely.

    Ya’ll act as if it’s some straight-up sort of trade. Obviously you know there would be other moving pieces (other players, picks, whatever)

    God knows who or what would be involved, IF there’s much truth to this.

    I remember reading that Horford was pretty impressed with Morey’s pitch a couple years back. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to be here. I can see Morey wanting Jaylen Brown and maybe draft picks. But watching Morey and Ainge out-douche each other over a trade? (Shrug)

    EDIT: ALthough if Horford opts out and signs-and-trades for nearer-Capela money, well, I’ll leave that for the capologists and those who understand hard caps and such.

    I would love tho If we did get al that we would also have Gordon. I feel him n ego would play well off each other. Horford is a elite passer at his position n would be wasted on us having guys that dont really move lol

    Nah, Horford is better, he gives you what Love gives you on offense but he's also good on defense. He's older, but there's also a chance his contract is going to be much better going forward.

    Not likely.
    Additional 100 million make Celtics worse.
    Other teams make max offer to brown 2020 and Tatum 2021.
    They can’t match due to Paul contract. They have to let Tatum and brown walk for nothing.
    Paul contract goes to bad team, bad teams don’t pay tax.

    Opt in and trade seems more likely and then next year he would go on a smaller contract. Sign and trades can end up being limiting for a team due to the hard cap that comes along with it.
