The way I see it, we can ONLY trade one of the Big 3 to a contender. If it's Allen or Garnett, it has to be for some asset we actually want to keep through the rebuilding, that's a good value. Pretty hard to pry that away from a contender in said deal.
Thus I propose the heresy: the only thing we can do is move Pierce to a contender. He MUST know that we are going into full rebuild mode and are helping him get another ring. This needs to be a Ray Bourque type send off. We can't afford to make any of our Big 3 unhappy - how's that going to look when we try to sign big free agents?
Pierce, Dooling to Oklahoma City for
Sefolosha, Mohammed, Maynor, Cole Aldrich, Ivey, 1st round pick
Let Sefolosha start for us, give Dooling's minutes to Bradley / Moore.
Maynor, Sefolosha and Aldrich make combined $8M next year and could be moved again.
We now have 3 1st round picks in a deep draft, and $8M more cap room next year with a few more cheap players under contract to fill out the roster.
Ouch, but hey, rip off the Band-Aid. Next year we would basically have Rondo, our pick of the youngs (Johnson, Bradley, Moore, Stiemsma, Aldrich), 3 1st rounders, and about $40M to spend. That's potentially Rondo + 8 young players + 2 max players.
