The Celtics aren't going to sign and trade Williams with the money they have to pay Brown this summer.Brooks wants in the 20’s too. Only team I can see possibly paying Williams $20M is SA, but I doubt it. After that, he’s kinda stuck with a bunch of teams that have MLE money. Getting Boston a replacement is the only obstacle. Maxi makes sense in that way. Grant gets somewhere around $14M to beat all the MLE offers. Brooks SnT for THJ has been talked about for a while and started outside this community. Same deal, Brooks starts at $14M to beat all MLE deals. Both players fit the description of the type players the Mavs are targeting. That’s $28.8M outgoing salary and $28M incoming. OG is seeking $30M and with that package we would give up for him, we’d pay it.
I was a huge champion of the bring OG here club, but the price to get him here and the contract to keep him is just way too much.
