Danny Ainge is known league-wide as someone who is willing to make a deal. But this is unprecedented…

Sources: Boston's showing interest in a 3-team sign-and-trade w/ Kyrie Irving (Nets), Kemba Walker (Celtics) and Terry Rozier (Hornets). Boston wants to create a full MLE and would likely need to surrender at least a first-round pick to Nets. So far, talks are exploratory. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2019

What Does This Mean?

Basically, Ainge knows that Kyrie Irving wants to go to the Brooklyn Nets, Kemba Walker wants to come to the Boston Celtics and Terry Rozier wants to go to the Charlotte Hornets. Ainge will try to negotiate a deal between the three teams so that everyone is able to benefit.

Who Gets What From All of This?

The Celtics would free up enough cap space for a mid-level exception. This would allow for the team to possibly sign Al Horford.

There are some league executives that believe the "mystery team" for Al Horford is…the Boston Celtics.



But keeping Horford's rights would require a number of complicated maneuvers, including a double sign-and-trade involving Kemba Walker and Terry Rozier. It wouldn't be easy. https://t.co/dCfSQcaEc4 — Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) June 30, 2019

The Hornets would be able to acquire point guard Rozier and possibly a pick or player from the Celtics.

The Nets, similar to the Hornets, would receive Irving and most likely a first round draft pick.
