Celtics Rumors

Bobby’s reaction to Lebron to Philly?

Steph Curry to the Celtics?

According to Sports Illustrated's John Karalis, Celtics president Brad Stevens may have already reached out about a potential trade for Stephen Curry.

"There's no doubt Brad Stevens has already been on the phone with the Warriors brass to pitch a deal if they want one," Karalis wrote.

Curry golfing with Tatum on Marthas vineyard. Has not requested trade. Watch for the deadline.

Warriors would not trade 4 first round picks for Jaylen brown last year, because he was not a player that could “lead a franchise”

Can we dream? Top Team in the East?

Celtics get: Curry
Warriors get: Paul George, Sam Hauser, the draft assets they received from the Sixers

Yahoo – Keith Watkins - Making the math work would be extraordinarily difficult. Curry's contract carries an annual value north of $62 million, meaning any trade would likely require a third team to help balance salaries. Boston would probably need to include a significant chunk of its remaining draft capital, up to five available first-round picks, along with players like Payton Pritchard, George, and Sam Hauser just to make the financials work.

Optionality? 70% of the cap tied up in two players?

Is this team better than what they currently have anyway?

Curry                     Mike Conley

White                    Schierman

Scheirman           Gonzalez

Tatum                   Garza

Robinson             Queta
