Not me, why wouldn't you get pieces for your aging stars???Nobody will offer up to their true values, pointless. No need to trade just for the sake of it.Lets wait and see. Maybe the Clippers pick up the phone. Maybe Ferry decides to do Smith for Pierce.

And since there is really no way to upgrade, then there is only one way to go.You don't just trade to trade.But Bledsoe and Jordan for KG. Pierce for Smith. You have to do that. I guarantee you Ainge will have this team in contention within two seasons if these moves are made.Rondo, Green, and Smith are a nice trio in two years in the East. Not to mention young players like Bledsoe, Jordan, Sully. Melo, and Bradley could all be very good players some of which turned into a great player.Just depends on what you're trying to do. I might consider trading for expiring contracts and late picks just to shed salary. Those proposed trades sound good but the pierce for smith one doesn't sound realistic. Why would ATL do that?

As much as I would hate to see Pierce and Garnett go it has to happen. Unless you want them to get nothing and suck for the next 10 years they have to start rebuilding now. They need to convince KG to expect a trade to the Clippers if that deal is on the table. Even if this team makes the playoffs they are 1 and done and then what? Rebuilding needs to start now!
Meh. No need to overreact to a loss away after a back to back, with a very depleted roster, and during a game in which Doc thought it was a great idea to play Bass at the 5 through a big stretch, while Howard was on the floor.

This is THE roster. Ain't no saviors walking through that door.
I just want Bledsoe man.

Ain't no saviors walking through that door.When you still have 3 roster spots to fill, that's a depleted roster... in addition to 2 injured players (not counting Barbosa in this calculation). Two if you count Williams.
