Trade Idea of the Day - 2/20

This is either the last or second to last Trade Idea of the Day.  Enjoy!

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.   

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. 

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. 

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.

Bibby is a good player, but he’s not a real point guard. He’s a better version of West, not what we need at the point. I’d go after Kidd (don’t care about his personal problems), Andre Miller or Billups (after the season if he becomes a free agent).

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!

Yeah, what he (bankshot)said!

by rtwx on Feb 20, 2007 8:34 AM EST reply actions  

idk if sac-town would do it, but if the celtics ever had an offer like that, they would have to take it.

by gmw1987 on Feb 20, 2007 8:47 AM EST reply actions  

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.

by slamtheking on Feb 20, 2007 8:57 AM EST reply actions  

Bibby can’t make anyone a playoff team. In fact, he’s a major reason why the Kings are headed straight to the lottery.

by Brickowski on Feb 20, 2007 9:18 AM EST reply actions  

West is better than Bibby, Big Al better than Gasol… Sometimes I wonder Why the Celtics are currently the worst NBA team?
Anyway, I agree with some comments here, Ratliff’s contract will be very valuable next year, I wouldnt do that trade either

by Galiza Ceive on Feb 20, 2007 10:15 AM EST reply actions  

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.

by reggie35 on Feb 20, 2007 10:30 AM EST reply actions  

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.

by wheres rondo? on Feb 20, 2007 11:43 AM EST reply actions  

I think it’s ironic that the Lakers have the pieces to get Kidd without giving up Bynum, but the Celtics aren’t even in the game.

Well, if I were Kidd, I’d rather play for Phil Jackson too.
