Here is the deal:
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=arqfcg9+/- a first rounder from one or the other...
Starters:
Rondo
Bradley
Pierce
Bass
Garnett
Bench:
Terry / Barbosa
Barbosa / Tucker
Beasley / Tucker
Sully / wilcox
Gortat / collins
We could add down the road and just for insurance :
- a veteran PG
- a defensive minded SF to guard the Lebron, Carmelo, Deng, Durant, etc...
(I think Tucker can guard them quite well actually despite being a lil undersized..)
Results:
- Starters:
Same starting line up that dominated at the end of last year and has been playing well this year since Bradley came back.
- Bench:
A cold blooded playoff killer in terry
A super fast SG/PG you can score in bunches in Barbosa
A defensive specialist who can guard 2s and 3s in Tucker
A go to guy who can be the mini Paul Pierce of the bench in Beasley (see below)
A great rebounder, low post bruiser in Sully
A real productive big with size that rebounds, blocks, runs, and scores in Gortat
Plus Wilcox (pick and roll, alley oops, veteran) and Collins (defensive specialist)
I know people will see Beasley as a downgrade compared to Green.
I feel bad giving up Green and Lee but here is what we are getting when Beasley plays focused in case you guys forgot you can skip through this video:
