Sexton to the Lakers makes a ton of sense.

This deal saves the Celtics a ridiculous bag. It is probably around $80 million. I would in intrigued by their first and Sexton / Anfernee are similar players.
Swap springer with Juzang or Svi and it still works but it doesn't save the same bag.
I could be talked in to giving them a pick swap in 2027 with the worst of our 2 picks so long as we retain the 2026.

Celtics considering flipping Anfernee Simons’ contract to keep Luke Kornet, Al Horford
Looking to continue shedding salary, the Celtics have explored the idea of flipping Anfernee Simons’ $27.7 million expiring contract, according to league sources. In such a move, they would be aimi…

That’s good. IF the Lakers like Sexton, I wonder if a bigger deal could be pulled off with Boston, the Lakers and our Jazz. Something around…
Lakers gets Sexton
Boston gets Vincent, Knecht, and massive savings
Utah gets Simons and draft assets from both the Lakers and Celtics
The Celtics didn’t retain so much draft capital by throwing around picks in salary dumps.
They have to send something, but it ain’t a 1st.

Yeah, i doubt it, but if they want expiring contracts for nothing... it ain't happening. Who in this market is going to drop $8 - $9 million extra in salary to get Anfernee Simons without getting an asset in return.
And we are talking about HUGE money. $80 million is a lot of Cavier and Cheese.
Just depends how badly they want to get below the 2nd Apron and what other avenues they have to do it.

They saved a lot more money in the Jrue and Porzingis deals and didn’t give up a 1st. They also got under the 2nd apron already (still in the LT, though).

Why do you want to burst my bubbles numberica? I blow one and you pop it. Sad face emoji every time. Lol.
I do see us as a natural trade partner for the Celtics given relationships and expiring contracts and their desire to reduce payroll but what's in it for us?

You make some fine points but it’s not going to be a 1st… though maybe they’d do a lottery-protected, but those become a nightmare for the sending team regarding their ability to trade other 1sts. I need to take a look at what they have available, maybe they have another team’s 1st that is already protected or something.
I think we’d be looking at 2nds, maybe a swap.

Its a moot point now. Sexton and trash for Simons feels like a winning move at this point. Simons would hurt the tank whereas Nurkic only helps.

Yeah. Not sure what the plan for Nurkic is, but it seems like flipping him into a different trade doesn’t seem that likely.
Fascinated to see how this JC deal pans out. Looks like we'll have to attach something to get back next to nothing.
Still holding out some hope on Collins. IMO someone should value his production, efficiency and age. He's a damn nice player just doesn't fit here at all.

Only trade that could happen is a negative salary deal. Dejounte Murray, Dame Lillard, or Brad Beal. Otherwise is just a buyout/waive situation. Clarkson might be willing to sit on the bench all year, but hard to convince a guy to basically end his career.
From Locke's comments today, it doesnt seem like a certainty Collins gets traded in the off-season.
We just keep Clarkson unless he wants a buyout. He might not get picked up anywhere if he gets bought out, so he might not want a buyout.
I'll be pretty surprised at this point if Collins gets dealt this week. Seems like he's more of a last option when other things dont pan out kind of addition for a team.
