Here is the trade...
Boston Trades: Rajon Rondo, Brandon Bass
Boston Receives: Al Horford, Jameer Nelson
Atlanta Trades: Al Horford, Jeff Teague
Receives: Rajon Rondo, JJ Redick
Orlando Trades: Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick
Receives: Jeff Teague, Brandon Bass
Accomplishes: Compete this year and long term. If we end up not needing Rondo or Bass, might as well trade for a legitimate Center in Horford. Jameer Nelson is just their to entice Orlando and make salaries work. It is nearly impossible to replace KG and it appears we already have a replacement duo for Rondo (if this "new" Celtics style continues until the trade deadline).
Starting lineup of the future: Bradley, Lee, Green, Sullinger, Horford
Our starting lineup for upcoming years would be:
Bradley: 23 years old
Courtney Lee: 27 years old
Jeff Green: 26 years old
Jared Sullinger: 20 years old
Al Horford: 26 years old
I think we would be better off but I'm sure there are thoughts on why we wouldn't. Reasoning for Orlando is rebuilding by dumping contracts and a young talent in Teague. Reasoning for the Hawks is keeping Smith by bringing in Rondo and a knock down 3pt shooter in his prime.
I'm not sure this is enough for ATL or ORL, but I want to get perspective from more Celtics fans.
