Should've specified, everyone in the media.

"Look instead of losing him for nothing, Ainge turned Gordon Hayward, a 1st round pick and 2 2nd round picks into Al Horford. What a genius move by a great GM"

I think they’ll probably just roll with Theis and Thompson at C, barring injuries. I doubt they use the trade exception at all, unless they have some crazy injuries.

I don’t think they would want to turn it into negative assets, unless they were basically forced to.

Ainge tried to play hardball with Indiana who was offering Turner, and in the end he has to pay 2 2nd's just to get a trade exception

*That will be used to "almost" trade for a star player like every other asset Ainge has accrued

They could absorb Gobert with it

Or even Horford!

Trade exceptions are rarely used, but I could see it as valuable in an emergency for them.

Are you on Twitter?

Because it was all over there last week.

According to @BillSimmons, Bradley Beal was reportedly “driving” the potential Westbrook x Wall trade, and that the Wizards were potentially going to include a draft pick.

Could see this, but it is just Simmons after all.

Small town introvert that just want's to hoop and chill got drafted to a media circus in LA and then got thrown away like trash by LeBron. Being able to contrast NOLA and LA probably makes him like it here 1000x more than if the Pels had drafted him.

Per Shams, GS called about Harden. Would have to think they would try to move Klay in that deal.
