No thanks on that one
That TT trade would make my year, even if we didn't do anything else. It doesn't hurt that O'Neal played high school ball in Columbia, so he'd be coming home, so to speak, to end his career.
I'd love it.
Though, I can't find any legit article about this other than a blog.

If Cho pulled off the Boston deal, would be amazing. True genius.
If Ainge agreed to the Boston deal, would be an idiot. True Lunatic.Originally Posted by ohara831

You all about killing cap space? How about we dont make panic moves like those. Keep on the path we have been on in removing unwanted players to clear cap room while sucking enough to get high picks.
The only trade that I heard that interest me is that Bos, Char trade....
Out:TT
In:O'neal + 1st round pick.
We lose a long term contract to get an expiring and 1st round. This is killing two birds with one stone.
I'm just not a believer of clearing cap space for the sake of having cap space, otherwise when we get our young players we'll just end up like Sacremento although I do agree the O'neal trade is good.
Im pretty sure we are not clearing space just to clear space. Its just pointless to trade for a guy/guys that we have to still pay 20 mil to just so we can get a late 1st rounder. If paying that much money for an extra 1st rounder is worth it, thats bad management. That is also preventing us from using that same cap flexibility to use in future trades. Sometimes it can be better that we just let the contract expire so we can use that money on better players for more reasonable salaries. Ex.) We can resign DJ for 7 mil or we can sign OJ Mayo/Batum for 7 mil or 8 mil. Way better upgrade at an equal or slight increase in pay.
Its not just about picking up all the draft picks you can get and hope that they turn into something great but a mixture of drafting and signing players.
I don't think we're in any position to be handing out contracts to people coming of their Rookie contracts (Batum, Mayo). Look where it got us last time (Tyrus) that's how teams get in a financial mess only rookies i'd be interested in handing contract extensions are the ones on there rookie contracts that we have now as we'd probably have a better idea of where they are at. To be honest the whole idea of clearing cap space is so that we can turn it into assets. Right now or next year we have an opportunity to turn our cap space into some toxic contracts which will come packaged with some nice draft picks to aid our rebuilding our rookies will be due extensions basically right after those contracts expire so it's a win win
