My turn to try this GM thing out

by DPELL7690 on Jan 20, 2012 4:15 AM EST

Ive been spending alot of time looking at trade ideas for the big three and reading about peoples thoughts of the whole blowing it up thing. I personally believe its time to move on. All 3 of the big 3 are great, they have had great careers and have been great celtics. I have been a fan of all 3 for as long as i can remember following basketball and when i saw that kg and ray allen where coming to the celtics i was overwelmed. I couldnt believe my 2 fav players are coming to play on my favorite tea, with paul pierce. But now its time to to put the team first and do whats beat for the entire team, now and for the futre. Im sure danny ainge will do a fine job but if i could play his role for a day or 2 this is what i would try to make happen....

Trade number 1:

Kevin Garnett

Ray Allen

Chris wilcox

To the Atlanta Hawks for

Josh Smith

Kirk Hinrich

Marvin Williams

This trade gives us an athletic power forward that will have great chemistry with rondo, which is what every player brought in should have. Hinrich gives us a combo gurad with good defensive skills, 3pt shot and the ability to play point guard, something we seem to never find. Marvin WIlliams is more of a salary filler but he can be usefull off the bench filling in both forward positions. He could be a trade chip in the off season if need be.

Trade 2:....not in place of trade 1, a trade to go along with trade 1

Paul PIerce

Keyon Dooling

To the Memphis Grizzlies for

Rudy Gay

OJ Mayo

This trade helps both teams.the grizzlies get two veterans to go with a young team. Pierce can step right in and contibute and i think mesh better with the team of last yrs playoffs better than Gay has been. For us. Rudy Gay to me is one of the better players in the league, a top 5 SF. Hes got a great shot and can be a force on defense. Him and rondo would be great to watch. Mayo can either start or come off the bench and hinrich can start. Mayo can get his own shot and has good range.

I didnt include draft picks in the trade but im sure we would have to include some in both trades. I dont think either trade is too outrageous for any team involved

A starting line up of Rondo, Mayo, Gay, Smith and o'neil would be pretty good if u ask me. And next yr when they have experince and chemistry together i think they could be a force in the league. A bench of hinrich, bradley, pietrus, bass, williams, johnson and steamer wouldnt be half bad either.

Let me know what u think.

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

i think we should go after hibbert he is a

restricted free agent but i think he wants out of indiana so they sign and trade him in something like this http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=73e4arj
i threw in jones to make it work but we wouldnt need him because the extension for hibbert would balance the salaries enough. if it is a big enough deal we could throw in oneal for their first round pick its not a great pick but we get something. we have a 7’2 center to build around and having seen collison play a lot i know he has high potential and while hes no rondo hes not that far of a drop off. we would have our franchise center and a serviceable pg depending on hibberts deal we might lose a little cap room but we have plenty. this all hinges on hibbert wanting to leave indiana in the offseason anyway. we could then send the truth to LAL for their crap plus their two first round picks and we would have 4-5 first round picks to go out and get another play or trade up to take a franchise SF. really it leaves us with a lot of options but we would build around hibbert

im on a roll

the wizards are trying to build around wall but they have so much money tied up in lewis they cant make any free agency moves. we can help they have 42 million invested over the next two years in him so we make a trade like this http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7pv8ekb
we also demand their first round pick unprotected. we may have to send a little more but they get 21 million in cap room in the offseason and a good PF in bass. we have to eat the lewis contract but whatever. we get a good young definsive SF in singleton. he was the best defender in the country in college. we also get a top 5 (most likely) pick which we could use to take anthony davis or jeremy lamb and they are both high high ceiling guys

Why.

would we ever want Rashard Lewis. Singleton is a good bench player. That is a terrible trade for the Celtics imo.

we dont want rashard lewis

but neither does washington and they might be willing to give us a top 5 pick to eat the last year of his contract. we lose garnett but he can just resign with us after the season so we get singleton and a top 5 pick for bass and to delay 21 million in cap room for a year. lewis isnt awful either he just doesnt deserve that contract

Except Hibbert said the exact opposite. He wants to stay in Indiana.

Damn

The Pacers don't want to mess with their core right now.

They’re one of the top teams in the East, why would they basically start new again.

by CsFanTran on Jan 20, 2012 7:50 PM EST up reply actions

Rondo would be awesome for their core and this only happens if hibbert says he doesnt want to come back but as the other poster said hibbert seems to want to stay

by JuJuan some moore on Jan 20, 2012 8:40 PM EST up reply actions

Why

would they want to mess with something that’s working. It’s like Danny doing what he did with Perkins.

by CsFanTran on Jan 21, 2012 1:24 AM EST up reply actions

I dont know if you read the posts above

But I was saying this is only if hibbert wants to leave he is a free agent after this season

Why would...?

Why would ATL and MEM trade younger stars for older stars?

Those trades don’t make any sense from the perspectives of your hypothetical trade partners.

You have ATL trading their superstar PF, vet PG, and 6th man for two old players with expiring contracts (basically, they’re half-season rentals) and a bum that can’t crack our roster.

You have MEM trading its best young scorer and young back-up guard for an aging Pierce and old back-up guard.

Your hypothetical starting 4 (I’m not counting O’Neal) is good, but this is a pipe dream. It’s not realistic by any measure.
