TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 Offer everyone Butler is a poor mans #1(A very good one though). He absolutely is not a cornerstone. Like Payton said if we could keep Ibaka and Gordon we would be golden. I'd imagine Boston has a good chance at him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 With an 8-25 record so far this season, the Nets currently hold the top spot in our 2016/17 NBA Reverse Standings. If Brooklyn remains in that position at season’s end, the team’s pick will be a guaranteed top-four selection, with a 25% chance of it being No. 1 overall. Nonetheless, the Celtics, who have the rights to that pick, will listen to offers for it, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com (Twitter link). General manager Danny Ainge indicated today that, while nothing is “close or imminent,” he has had some trade calls, per Blakely. This year’s deadline is about six weeks away, so Ainge has plenty of time to continue scouring the market and fielding inquiries. The Celtics don’t technically hold the Nets’ first-round pick in the 2017 NBA draft, but they have the ability to swap first-rounders with Brooklyn, and given how the first half of the season has played out, they’ll certainly be taking advantage of those swap rights. Boston’s own pick – which the Nets would receive – currently projects to be No. 23. If they were to deal away the rights to the Nets’ 2017 pick, the Celtics would be left without a first-rounder in this year’s draft, and the ’17 class is expected to be a deep and talented one. Still, Boston would be well-stocked for future years — the team owns the Nets’ 2018 first-round pick outright, and is owed first-rounders from the Clippers and Grizzlies in 2019. The Celtics have been linked to a number of potential trade candidates already this season. According to multiple reports though, the team is intent on finding a deal for a star player, rather than settling for a complementary piece, so it makes sense that the Nets’ pick is in play. If Ainge and the C’s are unable to land that sort of impact player, they could circle back to someone like Andrew Bogut or Nerlens Noel closer to the deadline, but Brooklyn’s 2017 pick would almost certainly be off the table in that sort of deal. Would Ibaka get their attention? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 [/size] Would Ibaka get their attention? yes and no. He's good enough definitely. Would you give up a top 3 pick for a half season of anyone though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odin 137 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 yes and no. He's good enough definitely. Would you give up a top 3 pick for a half season of anyone though? I think it is a bit different for a team like Boston though. They have the prestige, history, and fan base that we lack. Of course the player can still leave. Dwight left LA. But there is a much better chance that a player would stay, I would argue- and GMs know this. Still don't know if they would do it, but it is much more likely than a team like the Magic doing it.

MagicNZ 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 I've been thinking for a while if we could put a dynamic scorer at either the 2 or 3 and leave everything else the same, the balance on this team would be so much better (and would bring the best out of Payton). Can we get him whilst keeping a starting 5 of Payton / Butler / Gordon / Ibaka / Biz?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
