Trade (if sub 500 at deadline)

As I said in the opening statement, I think we would not go this route (extreme)- and I was having a bit of fun imagining. Wasn’t aware about Conley, so that would have to be Heinrich or somebody else. Thought a playoff team could use a Allen in some way. MOSTLY, i was posting this because I wanted to show that These are the players (minus Conley) that would most likely be AVAILABLE (due to issues of some sort. salary, etc). I would not propose an overhaul of this magnitude right now, but i tried to show a potential team that could come of such a bold transition. Some people have trade ideas for players who won’t come here, or are not on the block (or will be retained by current team)- and this is the “value” we could get in return for our players. Whatever we do, if it revolves around rondo, we certainly need to add speed and more committment to rebounding.

I like your ideas. I don’t know if cousins & ferdette are a quality package, jimmer is a rookie so I haven’t seen enough to say move rondo for him.

Kg plus for smith wouldn’t work cause the money, and I don’t know if Atlanta wants to trade him now that horford is out.

The Memphis one is something I like. I don’t think they would move Onley but I do think ray and dooling for mayo and d.Arthur and Sam young could work.

The chandler and smith moves I think they are FA. So they would just need to be signed after the salary space is cleared up.

So I would do the Allen + for mayo +.. than move JO, Bradley and wilcox to Portland for a Camry or g.wallace.. Wallace would free up 2 spots. Allen would free up some money to Atleast attempt to sign chandler or smith for this seasons remainder of games

JR smith is a free agent , Chandler is a restricted free agent. No need to trade, just sign them. The celtics should just sign JR and Kenyon Martin.

Please re-read the 3rd post — I tried to explain the original post there.

I thought JR and Chandler were under Nugget control (my bad)- but we should seriously look into one or both. If we can’tget a scoring post player, we need wings that can create and finish to run with Rondo. Keeping Allen AND Pierce AND pietrus leaves us with a dilemma. Either rebuild or let it go. Funny how people say nobody wants an aging SG like Allen, but say we should resign him because he is “ageless”. I think he would fit great with Memphis, OKC, and others- and he could be resigned by THEM too. Our loyalty could get in the way of truly building for the future – you can’t compare how good we could be to the Big three of 2 years ago. How can you really tell how a team will mesh- (Dallas anyone?)- but we KNOW what we have to do: get more athletic. I"m fine with PP or Ray off the bench as long as we split them up and combine them with another wing creator. Minus a big man who can score, we need scoring/attacking from the backcourt. Add a strong PF as a post option would be more llikely than finding a big man at this point.
