I think you're right for basketball reasons, but I just think for psychological reasons minimal success with Cousins > minimal to even moderate success with random eastern european kid.

right. but you still have KP's rights in your back pocket.

you would think that the knicks would insist that noah be attached to any porzingis trade
so would you do KP + noah for cousins & a 1st?

do it dell
wish holiday the best, thanks for the fish, and move on
I'm on this train, would prefer this then waiting with our dick in our hands while Jrue makes his decision

thats tough. Noah looks done and he's got a lot of money left to go.
if i could attach Ajinca to Cousins + 1st to get total salary roughly even, probably.
but the on court questions about Davis/KP are legit. they aren't running point big man with those two. i don't see much High/Low game with them. they would need to be back to spread PnR with an excellent distributor/creator. and i don't know if that maxes out each player on offense the way Davis + Cousins in a Denver type offense might
the defense is likely a hell of a lot better though.

Marc Stein? @ESPNSteinLine
The Celtics remain in trade pursuit of Kristaps Porzingis, league sources say, trying to assemble a package to meet the Knicks' demands.

I'm guessing they don't want to give up #3 or next year's Brooklyn pick and they're hoping they can sucker some team with a top 10 pick to trade for a combination of Smart/Crowder/Bradley.
Posted on 6/22/17 at 1:51 pm to TigerinATL
NY wants BOTH #3 and brooklyn 2018. They also want crowder AND brown.
that's ridiculous

Supposedly Ainge offered a player, #3 and another lottery pick they think they can acquire. I am guessing maybe Phil is pushing for future picks too. We will see. I think Ainge wins out on this.

No way I would trade Brown. Phil backed himself into a corner with confirming the rumors. I'd give up Crowder, a first, and maybe one pick in 2019, take it or leave it. The celtics could easily be better off just keeping the picks.

Is Crowder or Bradley alone enough to get 7? Both seems like too much though. Bradley/Crowder for 7/Rubio then Rubio for Moore?

Something like Crowder + 2018 BOS + 2019 LAC may be enough. So could end up something like Brown/Smart + 3 + 7 + 2019 MEM for Porzingis.

Disagree. Rubio's best skills are passing and setting up teammates and you diminish it in Chris Finch's offense and make him someone that plays off the ball, cutting, and spotting up.
Posted on 6/22/17 at 2:17 pm to cgrand
Why would we give up the better player and a first?
Posted on 6/22/17 at 2:18 pm to TigerinATL
I think Crowder for the 7 is probably fair, due to his low salary and 3 years remaining on his deal.

Also the latest ESPN updates on what is going on in New York make me think anything can happen with this situation.
"Celtics offer number 3 pick, a potential additional lottery pick and one player for KP."
"Phil Jackson dozed off during prospect workout with Knicks."
What is going on with Phil?

is it though? 21yr old, 7'3, great fundamentals. Those aren't easy to find.

So the Knicks want 2 first rounders, Crowder, and Brown for Porzingis?
So you're telling me NYK would trade their best PF for 3 SF's (Josh Jackson/Tatum being the best players at #3) while they already have Melo? Not to mention that package is WAY to high for Porzingis. Even the Phoenix proposal is absurd.
Knicks gonna Knick I guess
