This article brings up the Celtics going after Westbrook.  At first thought I didn't like the idea but after thinking for a second I'm loving this idea.  We have 3 2nd round pick and a 1st this year.  Clippers just unloaded a couple draft picks for Harden and needing to replenish them, and Westbrook is the odd player out I feel and is cheap.  Sending a player like Mykhailiuk with 2 2nd round picks for Westbrook or even our late 1st round I'd do it.  Westbrook would give us instant offense off the bench, could start when needed, but most of all a second unit with Horford, Hauser and Westbrook sounds nice to me.  Plus this still give the Celtics room to make a trade for a better big.  I'd look at trading Kornet and a 2nd for Drummond.  This also give the Celtics the chance to package Pritchard this year or offseason for  some more bench depth.

All set on Westbrick.

I’d be more interested in sending a 2nd or two for Plumlee if the Clippers are moving salaries.

EDIT:  Didn’t realize he got hurt recently.  Nevermind.

I don't trust him. Our chemistry is good. I wouldn't risk rocking the boat trying to fit in Westbrook.

Instant "offense" off the bench. Lol

I don't know if I'd even sign Westbrook as a free agent at this point.

Kornet and a 2nd for Drummond sounds good.

He did work wonders for the Clippers last year when it came to making them push the pace. Whether we need a player like that is a reasonable question, though.

This.  It would wreak of doing something just for the sake of doing something and I don't think this team is in that position at all.  Sure the bench could use some help but I think the needs are more in the minor adjustments category.

Not to mention he's from LA, his family is in LA.  I don't think he'd be too happy relocating to the east coast.

Does Drummond even have anything in the tank ?

He would be an improvement over Kornet, that's all I'm looking for at the moment.

I don't think it would rock the chemistry.  Since this trade is strictly being done if the Clippers are selling at the deadline or needing a change.  He's been coming off the bench and running a second unit which is something the Celtics need.  Pritchard isn't the answer plus Westbrook would give us a better insurance policy if White or Holiday were to go down.  Having a bench scorer that can start is a great 6th man to have.  14 PPG, 7 RPG, 6 APG, 2 SPG, we don't have that production off the bench period.  Also Westbrook might be on board coming to Boston if he has a legit shot at a title.

Clippers have gathered up a pack of divas , kinda worn down has beens  , where nobody is still young enough to care or play any defense. Rename them LA Divas or No D’s .

[cons]

theis is going there?!

why would we not bring him back here?

I'd much rather trade for Alex Caruso. Much better fit.
