JB recently had a bad playoff stint with the Celtics and now they have to debate if there going to pay two guys (Tatum & Brown) over 600m combined after both guys making the All NBA Team πββοΈ
Or Trade Brown and get some Value back so the future of your team isn't just two guys...
Timberwolves management has recently said they plan to build around Anthony Edward's from here on out and Ant is heading to France with Rudy to train leaving Kat in the dust... π¨
Portland needs depth and needs to get more defensive π
Why would the Celtics ππ do this !??
So they aren't only paying two guys over 600m
JB could potentially want out after his contract ends, so Celtics could get something in return
Kat is a franchise center whose only 27, just going into his prime and shoots from anywhere around the floor efficiently and effectively π―
Grant is a defensive anchor for the team and shoots 47/40 splits on 20 a game who will benefit Kats poor defensive effort at times
Celtics wouldn't have to give Williams a payday
What would the potential starting lineup be ?
Smart, White, Tatum, Grant, Kat
Notable Bench: Brogdon, Horford, Gallinari
Why would the Timberwolves πΊ do this !??
Ant is already getting chemistry in, while training with Rudy in France and there stuck in mediocrce as is
The front office said they wanted to build around Ant moving forward and what better way then getting a perfect 1-2 π₯ punch in JB that you can lock in long-term
Kat is your best tradable asset left, no picks and Rudy doesn't have the value, if you want to move forward moving Kat is the best way to go
What would the potential starting lineup be ?
Mike, Ant, JB, Jaden, Rudy
Notable bench: Prince, Anderson
Why would Portland π do this !??
Get a defensive π starting center, can trade away Nurkic
Depth in return by getting a very efficient utility forward in Grant Williams and Pritchard whose shown flashes of being a great all around player
Trading away Grant who could go elsewhere regardless hence being a free agent but they also have bird rights to give him a larger contract πΈ
This trade sets up the Blazers to trade away Nurk and trade for the heavily rumored Pascal Siakim with the 3rd overall pick πββοΈ
What would the potential starting lineup be ?
Dame, Simons, Matisse,(Pascal),Robert
Notable Bench: Williams, Pritchard, Sharpe, Watford, Little
Let me know in the comments down below if you would do this trade for either side ππ―
