Which is kinda perfect for them right?Miami doesn’t compromise. You fit or you git.
I think Ja has less value than Trae, who was at least putting up decent counting stats,Which is kinda perfect for them right?
Huge upside play for what? maybe Herro straight up? Or, if not, he’s got 2 years after this one, no need to commit to extending him, and he becomes the big salary for a potential Giannis trade this summer.
Hauser 10-15 from 3 tonight.
Yeah, the further along the season goes on, the less I want a big like Okongwu/PJ/John Collins at the 4 spot and the more I just want another wing that can shoot on high volume. Fox's shooting has regressed back to the mean, and while I think Harper and Castle can get up to league average shooting from deep eventually, I don't think it's going to happen in the next 2-3 years to where they're going to see hard closeouts in the playoffs. We just have to accept that at any given time we're probably playing 2 negative spacers relative to position in the backcourt. If that's the case, I'd rather see a shooter at the 4 who gives up some rebounding and defense and accept that we're going to have trouble against big physical teams, and maybe try to play Wemby-Kornet more against those teams. Castle did a pretty good job against Siakam a couple games ago, so it'll be interesting to see just how far his strength can get him defensively. Wemby does a very good job of rebounding and the coaching staff will just have to emphasize gang rebounding to help out.Hauser should be the key target. A perfect motion shooter who isnt just catching and shooting it but doing it off the dribble, off cuts and is also a SF/PF sized wing to boot. A true Barnes replacement for the medium term and someone who can threaten Barnes for his slot in the SL.
Trouble is that his heating up might make the Celtics want to hold him and pay the luxury tax as they are going to be in the Top 2 in the East (without Tatum ..what a coaching job by Mazulla). Stevens might be tempted to give him up only if the Spurs give back the top 1 protected swap in 2028. Which the Spurs must resist and insist instead to be ready to give up the Utah SRP this year.

? Miami isn’t trading him…I would look into Kel'el Ware if I were the FO.
Yeah, there's no chance they let him go now after they decided to keep him last summer when they were shedding salary to drop below the second apron.I'd be super happy with Hauser, but he's on such a good contract that I have a hard time envisioning the Celtics are willing to trade him. He's under contract for another 3 years after this season, making 10/11/11/12. That's huge value.
I'd be very interested if all it took was expiring and second round picks.
If Miami is looking to salary dump him, Wiggins for Barnes + Sochan works for me. Some second round pick(s) could be added if needed.
There's a lot of smoke rn I think he is available.? Miami isn’t trading him…
Smoke doesn’t always mean fire. Just for giggles,though,say he is available. Do you think he’d be happy as 3rd string, because that would be his role. Kornets not going anywhere.There's a lot of smoke rn I think he is available.
Am I trippin' or was this convo about Wiggins? He'd be among my bottom 200 choices for 3rd string center and I'll die on that hill.Smoke doesn’t always mean fire.

No, Kel’el Ware, and I agree that he’d be a bad 3rd stringer.Am I trippin' or was this convo about Wiggins? He'd be among my bottom 200 choices for 3rd string center and I'll die on that hill.
It allows for more flexibility in the double big lineups, he's also shooting 41.7% from 3 this year (on 120 attempts). Would fit nicelySmoke doesn’t always mean fire.
