Bledsoe is like the hot potato. Odds of where he lands next? Do the clips even have the draft picks to get rid of him?

I liked Oturu from the clips I saw from him in college...he's the guy we drafted & traded to the Clippers. Had some decent moves in the post, if I remember correctly.

Have not watched the Clippers play in SL, though.

No room on the Knicks for him at this point, though, and I like having Sims as our 3rd center.

This is basically Brad Stevens saying,thanks Schroeder for the discount but this is going to be a one night stand. I love it when teams bid against themselves to give an extension.

I think he stays, they need scoring with kawhi injured for the whole year.

So the Fournier signing has turned into a Fournier sign & trade.
Knicks get: Fournier and 2 2023 2nd round picks.
Celtics get: $17.1m trade exception + undisclosed cash from the Knicks.

The two 2023 2nd round draft picks look like this:
* Charlotte's top 55 protected pick (not sure what happens if it falls in the top 55)
* the worse pick between Thunder and Wizard's second picks; if the Heat and Mav's picks are worse than the Thunder/Wizard picks, they will get the better one.

Exciting value.

Does that mean we used the room exception on him?

Well deserved. Taj looked pretty spry last year.

We got 2 second rounders (one seems highly protected and possibly useless) and we gave the Celtics a 17mm trade exception to play with at the deadline. Was that really worth it for us? Seems like we gave one of our competitors some room to maneuver.
