Geez.. this Extended Window team has MISSED OUT on a lot of possible trades that coula/woulda/shoulda helped us.
JO for David West
Ray for Mayo
Jamal Crawford in place of Ray/Lee/Jet
I still strongly believe this could be a running team with Rondo and without Pierce/KG
If I were Ainge, I'd start a fire sale. Keep Rondo, and everyone else except Sully and maybe Bradley is up for grabs. KG probably wouldn't net us anyone at this stage of his career, so he stays this year and retires next. Fine.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=aqd3o2tHUGE TRADE, UNLIKELY TO EVER HAPPEN BUT STILL FAIR
Boston - JSmith, Billups, DeJordan, Turkoglu, Redick
ATL - JGreen, CLee, picks
Orlando - Butler, Bass, picks
LAC - Pierce, Melo, JTerry, Collins, Barbosa
Boston rebuilds. Rondo,Redick,Turk,Smith,DeAnre3000
Atlanta get Lee to replace Lou(torn ACL) and Green fills in rebuild mode for the Hawks.
Orlando save about 6 mil losing Turk and some draft picks.
LAC gets an LA native closer in Pierce, project Melo that could be better than Djordan, and the JET
I know this trade would probably never happen, but it's what I would do if I were the GM(or playing 2k13) b/c I'm tired of seeing this team show glimpses of greatness, then billboard signs of failure.
