    He brings the interior D and rebounding we need.
    Plus, there's likely some upside.

    I'm not sure about dealing with Ainge, but...

    Would rather just bring back Steve honestly, unless we end up trading Sengun in some kind of mega-deal. Kessler is good though

    Also... random trade ideas thread?

    Trading for good players still under their rookie contract is a waste of time.

    Would rather just keep Adams and draft a young center.

    If there's one thing that we were good at , it was interior D and rebounding

    You said it. Dealing with Ainge. Never a good outcome. And I’m convinced shooting is a far greater need than rim protection. We are so far away on the shooting; that’s where I want to see us focused this offseason.

    I’m sure of dealing with Ainge. Not worth it. And supposedly has turned down some terrific sounding packages.

    I remember when his name was Alec. And we traded his brain for a future champion. Houston's own Carl Hererra.

    Adams is a glue guy on and off the court. This a guy you go to war with.

    Pointless. Not trading anything for a guy that won’t play here. Shooters and scorers only please

    Just that Walker Kessler & Kyle Filipkowski are the same size, same reach. But different games. Kessler is interior paint shot blocker, Filipkowski a stretch 5. Meaning that while size still counts, doesnt mean that a big man mentality & ability comes with it. "He's good cuz he's tall & big" might be an unfair slight, because many big players dont maximize their size to play big

    Can he make his free throws? I’m all in on acquiring Kessler but I don’t like dealing with Danny aige
