Get Bibby - by Triple OT
Theo, Telfair, West and the Portland 08 2nd round pick for Bibby and Vitaly (expiring $3.6m).
The Cs get a PG, even though it takes them out of the Gasol sweepstakes. Sacramento cuts salary and goes with a solid young combo guard and a true PG that needs time to develop. Â
Bibby is the type of PG that needs talented offensive players around him to be most effective. He should thrive with Pierce, and Wally/GG out there to spread the court. This move is a commitment to AL in the low post, with Gasol out of the picture.Â
Bibby makes the Cs a playoff team immediately. They would have a quality PG, scorer, and low post threat, the three elements a team needs to build off of.Â
Sacto doesn't get full value, but if there aren't any better offers, the Cs could score here.

Nah. Bibby will be opting out, most likely.
People just don’t realize how valuable Ratliff’s contract is; it is insurance protected, and huge (12 MIL). When the deal comes around, go for it. Otherwise, trading for Bibby who’d only be a stopgap at best, would be a monumental mistake.
Trade Wally, West, and Telfair for Bibby if you so choose.
Do NOT part with Ratliff’s contract.

If becoming a “playoff team immediately” is Danny Ainge’s goal, he should be fired.

Just say no to Bibby.
West will probably pass him in all around production by the start of next year.
Bibby might be just a hair better than Telfair on an eastern team.
We dont need a hair better when we have West improving 5 to 6 dimes as of late and when we have Rondo who will probably also pass Bibby by the start of next year . Rondo can give you 11 dimes on any given night as a rookie , lets develop that
i’m all for getting off the lottery bandwagon. i would love to spend the rest of the season cutting down playoff teams and basically getting warmed up for next years post season run. however i jst don’t think bibby is the cat to do that.
at 6 assists per game for his career average he has never been that great a play maker.
i’d much rather get our selves a high post enter to compliment al in the low post and pierce on the wing (much like divak, webber and peja back in the day). then west and rondo can do their best impersonation of mike bibby and the rest as they say will be history.
bankshot:
i’m all for dre, he and rondo would be a great 1-2 punch at the point. and i agree wait till the off season to sign a vet guard.
i’mo rondo and west should be given until the end of the year to work the kinks out.
also if a player like pau is available, go get him. offer anyone other then pierce, big al and rondo and get er done!
idk if sac-town would do it, but if the celtics ever had an offer like that, they would have to take it.

Bibby is finished, and he always was a lousy defender. West is better already. Another silly proposal.
Why not go after Jason Kidd instead? The package that the Nets are offering for Kidd is pathetic. The Celtics could top it, with the caveat that the price for Kidd may be considerably higher for a divisional rival like the Celtics.
Bibby makes the Cs a playoff team immediately. They would have a quality PG, scorer, and low post threat, the three elements a team needs to build off of.

Immediately? Hardly.
Not a great trade. Bibby at this point is just average. I’d be more interested in renting Kidd for a couple of years at that price to mentor Rondo.
They have the worst record right now because of injuries and poor coaching, not because of West and AJ. I think without the injury problems, they would be a solid second place to Toronto this year. Without the handicap of Doc as coach, who knows?
This move doesn’t make any sense. Not many do until draft day (except to get a real coach). Stand pat.
I love Bibby but i would prefer to see this deal go down after the season so we can get the best draft position possible.
