Celtics trade: Jabari Bird (immediately waived), second rounder, $2 million

Hawks trade: Vince Carter

Carter would add some situational help and leadership.

Not worth it,  I would wait to see who else becomes available.

Who do you expect to come available that costs only a second rounder and a minimum salary slot?

I'd wait simply to see if there's someone younger and better defensively than Carter.  I'm pretty confident there will be.

Carter’s primary desire is playing time which is why he has been joining crappy teams.  He won’t get enough of it in Boston.  He doesn’t want to sit on the bench and win a championship, which I respect.

Carter belongs on the Raptors. It just seems too fitting not to happen.

Sylvestor Stallone would approve.

But would Paul Pierce?

This is actually true. I liked the deal initially, but this part is extremely important. What should be a positive locker room vet, could be a malcontent if he still feels strongly about receiving minutes.

For locker room presence only like Perk’s Cavs role, why not?  :)

I like the idea Roy. My concern is I think he doesn’t want to leave the Hawks

I like it once Brown has his head on right.   No reason to add more doubt to his own play.

Yeah, part of the idea is to give Brown a mentor.  I'm actually shocked, but Carter has turned into a legitimate elder statesman in the league.  Carter could teach Brown about using his athleticism.

Good man for noticing.  TP.  Michael Caine would have gotten you extra credit, though.

Gotta be careful with big name vets being inserted into a high performance team. Sure, he will most likely make things better, but he commands so much respect that if he wanted, he could cause a lot of problems. I think the risk outweighs the rewards.
