Title: Wyc:" I think there will be moves,February will be a busy month"
Post by: rondohondo on January 25, 2013, 07:19:31 PM
On the celtics pregame show they just showed an interview Wyc did on NECN today saying that moves are likely in February.

So who are we going to end up with?

Dream scenario for me

Josh Smith + redick

realistic

Gortat and Redick

Hopefully players that can give us better production than what we've seen from our current role players

I think the moves that we're more likely to see will be minor ones involving guys like Barbosa, Wilcox, Collins, etc., and/or the signing of veterans who have secured buyouts after the trade deadline passes.

Shoring up the team and filling the two open roster spots.

It kind of scares me he is open about that. I never want an owner being heavily involved in trades.

shoring up the team for a 1st or 2nd round boot out of the playoffs?

I am not optimistic. A bench player maybe.

Green, Bass and Terry are my bet to go.  Some other guys might go to make salaries match.

Can't make trades without trade partners. I don't think other teams will be willing to give much value in exchange for the Celtics' longer-term contracts.

Hopefully...But then we'd have to give Bradley up, most likely...

Ive come to strongly believe that the best first step for this team is to trade Rondo. Get back a prospect, an expiring, and good draft pick.

I'm hoping for Cousins too but Bradley won't be enough. The Kings aren't trading him unless it's for Rondo, even then it's still 50/50. It's ridiculous to think that we can get DMC without giving up Rondo.

I dont want to give up Rondo without getting back an instant impact player in return. Someone like Cousins.

Just blow it up

KG to LAC for Jordan

Cut PP after the year , only have to pay him 4 mil towards the cap next year.

Trade Lee for Redick's expiring contract

try to get rid of Bass and/or Green for expiring

...Why even trade for Gortat and Reddick? Do you guys want to be the Pacers and become really good but not good enough to win it all? It's all or nothing and we should be sellers if a huge deal to make us much better isn't available.

Why, the team sucks right now. I'd rather have an active owner than one who bull s** me by telling me "how hard the team is trying" as they are losing 10 games in a row.

The team is not fun to watch. They're just....bad. It's time for Ainge to approach KG and ask him if he'd like to be traded to a contender. He should do the same for Pierce. Get back whatever you can. Let those guys go and ride off into the sunset, and try to position the team for a good draft pick. It's time to rebuild, as i don't see any potential trades for marquee players that will put them over the top.

If Danny's rumored Pierce trade had gone through, the C's could have Drummond right now, no?

If we're lucky. I don't see how we can get much. IF we make it to the second round I'd be shocked. I'm starting to think the playoffs could be difficult.

can't expect management to wanna pay the tax for this crap, they try'll and dump $2 million off payroll to get under the threshold, the griz had to give up a pick just to dump spieghts, can't imagine what it will take to dump terry, bass or green.

That's kind of what it comes down to, unless we also trade Rondo and get somebody to take back some of the longer term guys along with him.

Tonight is probably the straw that broke the camel's back.  BIG changes are coming. 

KG (with his permission) and JET to Clippers for Jordan, Bledsoe, and Billups.

Pierce and Bass to Lakers for Gasol and Blake.

Blow it the heck up Danny.

Then, if we can't win a couple of rounds in the playoffs, Doc is gone!!

P.S. Was that a nuclear bomb????:-)))))
