Its Silly Season: A Harrison Barnes Roundup

Welp, it’s silly season in the NBA. 

As the trade deadline approaches, things will certainly ramp up clickbait style. Rumors will fly, “sources” will say this thing and that thing will happen, and about 1% of it might actually come true. 

So as my way of protesting all the clickbait, I thought I’d put some of the clickbait into my own article, which is…..basically clickbait.

Uh oh! The trade to the Celtics “could be coming!” 

The Celtics are interested in trading for Jerami Grant or Harrison Barnes as the trade deadline approaches, via @SIChrisMannix.

This is a place saying my guy Chris Mannix says the Celts could be going for Jerami Grant OR Barnes. 

Rival executives say Marvin Bagley III is up for discussion in trade talks, per @TheAthleticNBA pic.twitter.com/X9JJChKXG1

BAGLEY?

Not likely, unless it’s a godfather offer. Tough because his value is such an unknown. But at least we know what his Dad wants. 

Celtics Interested In Trading For Harrison Barnes https://t.co/FAQUgCzX0n

Ah, sounds like the Celts REALLY are interested. So now it’s definitely not happening. 

Simmons: Give me one trade prediction before we go, player and team.

MacMullan: Scal says Harrison Barnes to the Celtics, let's make it happen. But I think you lose Payton Pritchard on the way back, at least. You lose a pick too, probably, and someone else in there.

Bill Simmons at it again, via our friend Tony Xypteras. I’d take Peyton Pritchard and a pick. Heck yes. 

There are many many many many more, but you get it. Needless to say, it’s only going to get sillier.
