We are talking about the wrong guys to trade!!!

Gm’s are now thinking twice about giving up multiple players for a mega star. Just reminded of Knicks OMG! They get Carmelo Denver got W. Chandler (15 ppg last year), Gallinari (37 points last night vs Knicks-ouch)), Felton (Good PG) and Mosgov (7’2, and can run the floor). what a fleecing that was. Rondo might not bring back enough in trade to solve our problems- especially with lack of bigs available. Smaller deals for rebounders like Thompson / Bierdrens/ etc may have to be the plan.

Rondo for Nash and 1 First Round.

or Rondo for Harris and 1 First Round.

Both unprotected.

First off I’d like to say I’m a huge Celtics fan, but I’m also a realist. I don’t see Boston winning a title this year, even if they continue to player like they did against Orlando (let me remind you its only one game). There is still the Heat and Bulls to get through, that’s not an easy or IMO a doable task for this team right now.

Trading Rondo or Pierce or KG, etc. will just put this team in a funk again (Perk trade). This team plays with their heart on their sleeve (the KG motto) and that can be a problem when they lose a piece of the team. Trading the core (PP, Allan, KG, or RR) is not the answer because teams will be foolish to trade a young talent (Gay, Lowry, Martin, etc.) for an aging vet with 2-3 years MAX on their careers. -- Saying that let me backtrack because a team like Memphis/T-Wolfs is a Veteran like Pierce away from being a contender or even winning it all, so they might consider the trades (call me crazy). But I see no other teams that are willing to throw away the last 5 years of rebuilding for a year or two window of maybe contending.

How I see us winning banner 18: Play out this year, rest the vets more and improve on our young talent (Bradley, Johnson, Moore, and Stiemsma) to get more game time experience. Bradley played well against Orlando, damn he played the best defense I’ve seen this year. But lets not forget Nelson is no Rose, Wall, Wade, etc. and Bradley isn’t going to play this well every game, consistency is what they have to learn. - Back to my winning idea. Once this season is done, if KG and Allan are willing to take lesser contracts (which i believe they will, if they see we can win if we add another piece from FA) If we can keep this team together and add one or two pieces from FA we will be back to our winning ways

Potential Line ups
pg: Rondo, Bradley
sg: Allen, Moore, Daniels or Pietrus
sf: Sign Iguodala, Pierce coming off bench, Pavlovic or whoever
pf: Either start Bass or KG, third option is JaJuan Johnson(I really think Johnson is going to be a player, I hope we trade Bass and get good value for him and play JJ more)
c: Sign somone like Okafor or Jefferson or Blair or Cousins and Stiemsma off the bench (I’m looking for defense here, so maybe: Okafor/Blair/Stiemsma combo)

With something along those lines and willing the big three stick together and understand they are not the starts anymore, we can have a stacked team.

PS. “This game isn’t just about talent, it’s about Heart, Passion, bringing it EVERY night.” - that’s referring to Rondo??? - That’s BS and we all know it. Don’t tell me Rondo has no Heart, Passion or that he doesn’t bring it every night. He is the motor of our team and he hustles his ass off every game, we overplay him at times — so give him a break if he’s tried every once in a while. And yes, he can score and create not only his own shot or drive to the basket but he creates open shots for everyone else on our team.

thanks for reading, had a lot on my mind about this team, hope you enjoy.

The Grizz want a 1st round pick for OJ mayo. I say we go for it. Rondo and Mayo would be nice for the future. Maybe we should go after Gortat for the Center position.
