Article talks about Memphis might be shopping Rudy gay. It mentions the celtics as a possibility.

Either Pierce for gay straight up or bradley, green, and lee for gay is mentioned

Personally, I have no interest in Rudy gay and his contract and rather get a big man.
Pick 2 Heat: 
Pg: Jennings/Vasquez
Sg: Wade/R. Allen/Rivers
SF: Lebron/M. Williams
PF: Bosh/Humphries
C: B. Lopez/Dalembert/Anthony

I could live with PP for Gay.  we get younger and a player that fits better with uptempo play (thus Rondo).  Moving AB, Lee and Green is too much talent to give up and those are the players we'd want to keep with Gay to play with Rondo.

Bradley, Green, Lee for Gay is a decent trade imo.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.

Pierce or Gay at SG?



If we do this trade, we lose a lot of depth. We should try to include Arthur/Ellington/Allen;) in exchange for a pick as well.
I like Marcus Smart

I would definitely do Pierce for Gay.

Paul Pierce for Gay works straight-up, but it’s sacrilege and does not save Memphis any tax money this season.

This is true, but Pierce has a partially guaranteed contract next year. So not only does it save them money going forward, but his halfcourt game is probably better suited in Memphis.

To me, bringing in R. Gay only makes sense if you are trading PP.  I can't see him as a backup to Paul.

Since Memphis wants to cut salary swapping PP for RG doesn't help them with that.  Would need to be a 3rd team involved unless they aren't counting on PP for the rest of his contract.

Getting Tony Allen back in a Gay deal would be awesome. Letting him walk cost us a title much more so than trading Perkins or losing any other player from the 2008 team.

Honestly, something like this is what I'm hoping for. Will KG buy in? Will it work on the court? Who knows? But that, along with Bradley, Green, Sully, and Melo, is some very young talent to have going forward.

We don't need Rudy Gay. We need a big like Gortat, Nene, Okafor, Kaman, Varejao, or Millsap or even some not so great bigs like Haywood or Dalembert or Mullens

The Celtics can use him right now to help the offense. 


And he provides Rondo an actual go to scorer in the future.

I agree. our best move is to get Gortat for bass and lee hopefully after jan. 15

But a Gay for Pierce trade would be independent of the one you proposed.

But are any of those big men available (or will be available)



If the Celtics can make a big move now that brings back an all-star level player for some of their depth, they need to take the chance.

1. The chances of pawning Jeff Green’s terrible contract off on Memphis plummeted when Levien and Hollinger took on key decision-making roles. Finding a workable deal without Green’s contract is tricky.

The only thing I wanted was to pawn off Green's contract :(
