I like this idea for all teams involved. Celtics want good youth and picks. Duran looking like he wants a pay bump and out of Detroit. Portland makes a big special with Brown and Morant. Memphis is going for a rebuild.

I have the Celtics doing a sign and trade for Duran, by sending Holiday to Detroit to pair with Cade in the backcourt. Duran said he was looking for 40 million and year I have him at 33 so 130 million an change over 4 years. Also seeing the Celtics locking up Scoot for a 4 year deal at like 15 a year so 60 million over 4 years. Puts him these two on the same timeline as Sharpe who is also on a 4 year deal. Now the Celtics

This puts the Celtics at 177.7 million in cap and the salary cap is 165 million. Even doing these trade it they're 8 million roughly away from getting completely under the salary cap. They still have Hauser's 11.25 million contract and White's 30.3 million contract to trade. These two players could bring you some more help/picks and get us under the cap completely setting up even bigger moves next summer.
