Simons is a good three point shooter, but he's not replacing Tatum. He's got an expiring contract, so they'll kick the tires on him and decide if they want to re-sign him after next season. Holiday had a bit of a down year last year, and the C's need to trim payroll, expect more moves from them, wouldn't be surprised if Porzingis is next

Poole is a cancer where ever he goes. Saw a couple instances where he wasn't part of the huddle during TOs in Washington. They're lucky they got McCullum. yep 33 but I've seen him take over games when he's not hurt.

I'm not against them trading Poole, never cared for his game, but why not get a young guy for him, why trade for an injury prone veteran? The Wizards are going nowhere, sure CJ makes them better, but that roster is still bottom five in the league. Only thing that makes sense is hope he stays healthy and puts up good numbers, then flip him at the deadline for a pick or a young prospect

Porzingis is going to ATL

For Georges Niang, LOL. The true definition of a salary dump. The only thing keeping me sane right now is this was expected, every Celtics fan knew they would shed salary. Next year will likely be a lost season, a reset until Tatum comes back in 2026
Boston, Atlanta and Brooklyn are finalizing a three-team trade that sends Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick to the Nets, and Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics.

his mom is hot and a player. She is the all-time leading scorer at UW-Green Bay. Better jeans I guess. Sorry I meant genes

The new owner of the Lakers is best bud with Magic thru Dodger ownership. No way Magic wants Pelinka as GM after he said Pelinka back stabbed him when he was assistant GM. I hope the rumors are true and they pry Bob Myers from ESPN and he takes over the reins. They need a fresh face to move beyond LeBron.

Now I'm hearing rumors Jaylen Brown and Derrick White might be in play. I get the moving of Holiday and Porzingis, the team saved 180 million in luxury tax, but moving JB or DW makes no sense, if they trade them they might as well blow the whole thing up, which makes no sense and the fans in Boston won't stand for it. I understand next year will be a tough one without Tatum, but it's just a reset, no reason why they couldn't be contenders again the following year, just keep their core together and rebuild around them

Trade for Luka then lose your job? I guess it's a tough business

Makes sense. Knecht is dead man walking on Lakers after they tried to trade him to Charlotte.
Wiggins will make them more athletic too.

Someone needs to explain to me why Charlotte doesn't want Mark Williams. A young athletic big who can run the floor, he's been in the league for three years and has gotten better each year. He's coming off a season averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds, shot 60% from the field and 80% from the line. He's the type of player teams covet, but for whatever reason the Hornets didn't want him, I don't get it

He supposedly failed a physical (Lakers trade) but played the rest of the season….

Yeah he failed the Lakers physical, but played out the season in Charlotte, he also passed the Suns physical. Maybe the Hornets know something about him injury wise, but he's the type of player a young rebuilding team would want to keep I would think

I feel Lakers had second thoughts on giving up Knecht and purposely failed Williams physical.

Laker GM did him dirty spreading rumors he had a bad knee so they could re-sign him on the cheap.
Naturally his agent found out.

Not surprisingly the Heat have interest, then again the Heat seem to have interest in a lot of players they don't end up getting. Now I'm seeing where Kuminga would like to come to Miami, but the Heat's intertest in him has cooled, still early in free agency, but as name after name comes off the board, the Heat have done nothing

They dropped the ball on Durant, he wanted to be a Heat, but Riley was nickle and diming them with what he was offering.

It all came down to Kelel Ware, the Suns wanted him bad, the Heat didn't want to give him up, had Riley agreed to part with him KD would be on the Heat right now. Time will tell if Riley was right or not, it all depends on the development or lack of with Ware
