IT HAPPENED
And as I mentioned, the Celtics were in a terrible position after the Kyrie fallout. Couldn’t risk including Tatum.
You know who I am.
If we can dump Bonga/Wagner onto another team, it's possible to do what GSW did with KD. Offer a 1+1 slightly short of the max to one of the 7-9 year vets (Jimmy, Kyrie, Kawhi all fall into this category), then re-sign using non-bird rights for 120% of that salary next summer. How does that work?
Let's say we sign that player to a $28.5m contract for this year. 120% of that would be $34.2m next summer. The hypothetical max we can offer this summer is $32.7m with 5% raises, which means his salary next season under the 4-year max is $34,335,000, almost identical to the 120% offer. Rinse and repeat until we get full bird rights. Essentially he'd be taking a $4m pay cut to join Davis and LeBron.
Boston Celtics center Al Horford will not exercise the $30.1M option on his 2019-20 contract and become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell ESPN. Horford and the Celtics both have interest in working toward a new deal in July, sources tell ESPN.
Major change in the Al Horford situation: Per source close to Horford, his side is no longer discussing a new 3-year deal to stay with the Celtics. He is expected to sign a 4-year free agent contract elsewhere...
Boston and Al Horford had discussed contract scenarios, but the gulf is too great for sides to believe they can close on a new deal now, league sources tell ESPN. Horford is prepared to enter the free agency to find a three or four year deal elsewhere.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Per source: Aron Baynes opted in with the indication that he would not be part of a trade package this summer. There is an understanding that a trade could happen down the line, but Baynes opted in with the idea that he would be staying in Boston for at least the near-term.
Aron Baynes opted in with the Celtics under the idea that they would be a contender. With it looking like things are heading the other way, Boston will work on finding Baynes a role with a contending team, while opening up cap space for themselves.
Sources: Boston has traded center Aron Baynes to Phoenix.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Don't forget that Danny Ainge promised everything is on the table for Anthony Davis lmaoooo never trust that guy.

Because I'm sick of complaining about the Lakers to my friends and on my Facebook, I thought I'd channel it productively.

And there we have it, AD waives his trade kicker, Bron gives him the number 23 jersey.
Heat Bron, Bosh, KD took pay cuts to give their teams more cap space to build a team. Dirk and Duncan both took pay cuts for years to do the same. But AD waiving his trade kicker (which most players do) makes no sense? He still gets the amount he's owed on his contract, and it doesn't impact his next contract whatsoever.
