Cavalier reunion
Why would the Nets take that offer? One first round pick and scraps? I guess a massive expiring deal is useful if you go full rebuild but…. I don’t get it.
Also Joe on his own is worth a decent pick. Yeah he was injured last year, but unless the prognosis is terrible, he’s a nice piece.
Brogs to the Celtics
Because Kyrie could just decide not to play this season. And his value is only going to decrease unless you can get the Lakers to bid against themselves.
Not to mention they have another player on their roster who opted out last year in Simmons. Wouldn’t want Kyrie’s bad energy around him. Having Ben self-select to miss more time would be disastrous.
I’m not sure about Joe’s inclusion but it may be needed to match salary?
Yeah i think the Lakers obviously need shooting but also makes things work salary-wise.
Tremendous trade for Boston.

Absolute steal
This is great news! A Hoo on a real contender.
That’s great for Malc, and our resident Cs fans on the board. Does seem like a great deal for the Cs, though I guess injury history + amount of guaranteed money on contract played into that. Seems like a good fit for them though, so I’m hoping for good health and a strong season for Malc.
Wow. It was basically “the back half of our bench plus a first round pick for a solid starting pg”. That’s a freaking steal.
Man I love me some Brogs but damn it’s gonna hurt me to have cheer for the C’s now. I tell you what this current group of Celtics is doing all they an to make me a fan and this might just tip the scale.
Just catching up on this and what a steal of a deal. C’s are still deep enough that they don’t have to ride Brog into the ground with meaningless mins all season. And they finally have a secure ball handler come playoff season.
Definitely some roster spots available in Boston. Also sounds like they want to re-sign Sam for a longer deal.
Yeah, I didn’t even think about how this is good for Sam, too. Suddenly the C’s need a bench and he’s already there. Win/win!
Forgot about Sam, but he certainly slides into the rotation with a cheap pricetag and usable talents.
Been tough times for the NBA middle class. Thought these Pacers squads might have been a little better the last few years. Excited for Malc to get back onto what should be a bigger stage.
Next step: Jaylen Brown and 5 firsts for KD and Joe Harris
Brad stevens got Sam Hauser some help
Celtics are also deep enough that they might be able to manage Malc’s minutes in a way that maybe cuts down on his injuries.
Kyle Guy needs a landing spot too!
