    Buy outs only free up as much cap space as John Wall is willing to give up on his contract. He is owed about $90M after this year, how much do you believe he would be willing to give up for his freedom? $5M each year? That only deducts $5 from our cap space and the rest is sitting there still obstructing our "flexibility".

    funny; I used to stay at the nugget every year. I won’t stay at the nugget or eat at Tillman’s restaurants anymore. Not putting a penny in his pocket

    Everyone can say what they want about Les. “He cared about money and his business dealings more” blah blah blah...Dude had the right front office in place and he won.

    Tilman is an absolute joke. Sell the damn team please.

    Bro, Clutch is still shocked..

    the front page says Dipo to Miami ... more to come

    once clutch saw what was the more to come in the trade he said he was going to leave it as is because the trade gave us nothing in return...

    very accurate analysis by clutch

    We really had a trade rumors thread of 161(!) pages, just to walk away with Kelly Olynyk and Avery Bradley.

    LOL Ainge/Boston...

    Getting old already, nobody believes you, stop it.



    If there's one thing you can count on in a post-NBA trade deadline world, it's a report indicating the Boston Celtics were this close to getting someone big. How close varies from case to case, but the Celtics are somewhere in the rumors surrounding almost every star on the cusp of a relocation. Paul George. Jimmy Butler. Kawhi Leonard. Anthony Davis was once the grand plan. James Harden was discussed. In the end, the price was always too high or it wasn't the right time.

    The latest targets were Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon, both of whom Boston reportedly took big swings to acquire from Orlando before Thursday's deadline.

    It's always the same story when Boston comes up short on these deals. Either it wasn't the right time or the price was too high.
