Yeah no doubt

Prince is horrendous. Thank God these are only his fake trade ideas….

Agree with Jeff...

Clearly, Simmons is no fan of BBD.

I do like Prince…but the price is a bit too steep under Simmons` scenario.

the prince trade proposal sounds nice to me who is not a big fan of bbd

the trade of Calderon to the Celtics for Eddie House (EC), Tony Allen (EC), Glen Davis and $3 million is the one that cracked me up

I like both trades

Anytime you can consolidate several bench players into 1 player who is an upgrade over the rest, it’s pretty much a smart idea. I really like Caulderon too.

Sorry, but that statement is ridiculously wrong in the case of the Celtics.

Old teams need long benches.

On another note, thank god Simmons makes a lot of money and is well established as a writer, and no one connected with the Celtics will ever be tempted to invite him into the front office.

While I can see the value in depth, the Celtics are a playoff bound team. Teams in the playoffs have a condensed roster, therefore it is optimal to have a better player come in than have an inferior player come in and 2 others sit on the bench. If KG goes down this team isn’t winning the championship, so depth is only so important. As I stated before, if they could consolidate the last few roster spots with an improved player, I’d absolutely go for it.
