Just watched OKC win against the Timberwolves. Where to for Giddey? Looks lost in that team. Where do they trade him ? He can't shoot. The team know it and you can see it as his teammates don't use him. Will just his passing ability keep him in the NBA?

More Dante Exum :cool:

I hope you can see this or at least look up the play, he's going alright now (y)

A freakish act from Aussie comeback star Dante Exum is blowing minds in the United States.

Exum had 13 points in 33 minutes after starting, with six assists, three steals and four rebounds in a solid performance as his Dallas Mavericks fell apart on Thursday.

Luka Doncic raged at his teammates as Dallas allowed a 20-point comeback to fall to an injury-ravaged Cleveland at home.

Celtics don't bat deep enough. 8 players than drops like a massive sink-hole. Probably best starting 5 in the league then Al, Pritchard and Hauser make the 8, then nothing after them. Most other top teams bat down to 10-11th player.

come play off tho 8 players is all some teams need.
anyway they will probably be able to add a rotation player through trade or the buy out market.
still favourites i reckon.

contenders in the East are probably Celtics, Bucks, 76ers (and the Heat)
in the West the Clippers are probably starting to join the Nuggets as favourites. Minnesota and OKC might lack experience for this year. Suns and Mavs would still hold hope of putting it together.

Hearing lots of Keltics talk Kelly Olynyk, who spent his first 4 years as a Celtic, may be traded in. That would definitely help the front line as Porzingis tends to miss 10-20 games a season and Al is 37 years old.

Haven’t heard that rumour - but Kelly would be a really good addition. Hope it doesn’t happen.
 
The Olynyk trade can't really happen unless the Celtics trade a player/players to Utah as Olynyk's contract is to much.

But the best trade value out there is this 3 team trade with Utah and OKC. Celtics get Wiggins and then can sign the waived Olynyk for 1 year. OKC get Markkanen, and the Jazz get 4 first round draft picks, a 2nd rounder plus a couple of players.

Utah Jazz executive officer is Danny Ainge, and we know what history he has with the Celtics ☘️ 🤞:notworthy:

Nice work GM Rice. But I don't see OKC making major moves until the off season. A third of a season gone - doing well. But let's see what holes are revealed during a 7 game play-off series.

On a really sad note - Exum out with plantar fasciitis. Terrible news for his career and Olympic hopes.
