This scenario could happen if Brooklyn doesn't do well this year and decides they want to blow it up. Can't happen until 3 months after the date Bradley re-signed w/ the C's
BOS OUT: Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Bass, (James Young?), Brooklyn 2016 & 2018 1st rd picks.
BOS IN: Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez
BKYN OUT: Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez
BYKN IN: Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Bass, (James Young?), BYKN 2016 & 2018 1st rd picks
C's giving up too much or too little?
Would be willing to include the C's 2017 1st Rounder (no more right to swap)
Included James Young in the trade, although I was hesitant since that'd leave Evan Turner as the only SF on the team. Maybe offer another pick and try to keep Young?
Green can opt out, Bass is expiring. Essentially Brooklyn gets Bradley, Olynyk, (Young if included) and their picks back which allows them to play for the Lottery. We have a plethora of other picks we could include if need be..
The trade could make their 2015 pick more valuable, as well as their 2016 pick (if Green opts out). Id be hesitant to trade Smart, Olynyk & Fillers for Joe Johnson (33 y.o) and Lopez. So if Brooklyn asks for Marcus Smart, NO DEAL!! Would be willing to trade Bradley because I think Smart will have a higher ceiling.
BYKN line up:
Williams/Jack
Bradley/Anderson/Young
Green/Bogdanovic/Karasev
KG/Bass/Teletovic/Kirilenko
Plumlee/Olynyk/Jordan
BOS lineup:
Rondo/Smart
Johnson/Thornton/(Smart)
Turner/(Johnson)
Sully/Faverani/Powell
Lopez/Zeller
Leaves some ? marks in our rotation (Backup PF), but we could add free agents or players through the draft. Johnson should demand less $$$ (currently 23mil) on the market for his next contract. Cs could start Sully or sign Greg Monroe and bring Smart & Sully off the bench...
The trade also keeps the Celtics versatile and gets rid of the logjams we currently have at SG & PF. Joe Johnson can play SG & SF which would allow Smart to get more minutes!
