Celtics trade
Kunnert Kenon Drew Young
for
LBJ
My take is that Celtics just went from being favourites to win it all (4 players 20ppg+ on their roster) to possibly the 5/6 seed in the East depending on what else they can trade for.
Magic are probably the new title favourites

Pretty sure magic are 1m short in cap space for this to work. They need to send someone back to celts. Splitter or Dudley would get it done.
Certainly puts the magic up the top of the east that's for sure. Thought celts would walk it in after getting kunnert.

The Celtics do take a step back now, to stay in the title hunt for a LONG time to come. With LBJ, Pierce, on rookie deals, he can still add talent on shorter term deals until the young guys need to be extended/resigned. The Celtics will wind up being the dominant team of this version.
I don't blame the Magic for doing the trade, either. They become instant contenders for this season. If they can keep Drew and Kenon for a few years, this trade is even better for them. Actually, even if they just keep Drew among those two, they're in good shape still.
Love this trade.

Are send downs for dlge done during or after FA?
Wouldn’t make any sense to do them after FA though

You guys all pretty much get it. I’ve had a nice 4 year run and would have been up there with Hornets and Lakers for favorites again. But Drew and Kenon despite being young are expiring and are both max guys. I was also getting a little bored running the same team out 5 seasons in a row
this happened too late in FA so we won’t be good this year and the heat have our pick, but next season when we fill out a real starting 5 we’ll be solid again
also I’m moving LBJ to SG and then playing him as my PG

Magic are probably the new title Ya were not gonna be good this year but obviously it’s a long term trade. Wanted to shake things up. I have my favorite player in nba history and now the arguable GOAT for like 15 seasons

See now there's the rub. In real life he is arguably the GOAT.
BUT if for example you go back to ITP4 he was #1 pick in 1984. He played all 13 seasons for the Grizz but it took him 8 seasons to become MVP (though he did hold it for next 5 seasons). So it could be a long time before he pays back lol
Plus in all that time the Grizz made the finals twice (1989 & 1995) losing both in 6 games.
LeBron at 30 was impressive though LeBron James SF 30 6'8'' 240 A A+ A- A+ A- C LeBron James SF 81 39.3 33.3 8.9 5.0 2.6 1.3 1.8 .506 .941 .494

After TCs he could be low 70s or even high 60s before I give him the +12 the thing I really like though is what made drew amazing at PG. 80 strength with really good handle passing quickness. No one in the league will be able to guard him. So obviously for a couple years I’m gonna have to build him up but I’m not even gonna try to trade for or sign another young guy. PP and LBJ will get their double vamps every single season until they’re 30 and I’m gonna maximize them both. Then just fill in the team with vets. I easily could lose this trade if Lebron doesn’t become MVP (Drew is 3 time reigning MVP alone)...but I also just think it’s cool to have Lebron James. In the end it’s just a game and this is how I wanna play it

LeBron and Pierce it was meant to be.
One guys a bitch, the other guys a bigger bitch that needs a wheelchair to be taken to the bathroom. And of course they should be on the scumbag fucking Celtics. Green assholes.

You Celtic fans and your loyalty for Pierce. He was trying to leave you guys. He was saying "get me the fuck outta here" before Ray and KG came. And KG didn't wanna be there either until Ray Allen came along.
It's funny. KG and Pierce get all the love. Ray Allen gets all the hate even though he was the reason the Big 3 even happened. You Celtic fans are all ass backwards.

You Celtic fans are all ass backwards. Of course Paul wanted out. From 02-03 (0-4 2nd round sweep to New Jersey) to 06-07, the Celtics were garbage besides Pierce. Kobe wanted out of LA before the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol. We don't know what its like to be the only bright spot on a terrible team. Ill just chalk it up to YOU HATE US CUZ YOU AINT US. Paul Pierce, Tom Brady, David Ortiz.... Gods country.
