Trading To The Kings and 76ers. What I think would be a good game plan.

[ThePoeticWolf]

Everybody is talking trading to the Kings for Cousins, this I doubt is every going to happen.  But they could be a great trading partner.  They're looking to win and add good players.  The Celtics are looking to trade up to get WCS.  I think the Celtics should trade the 16th and the 28th pick with Zeller to the Kings for the 6th.  We draft WCS and gives us the future center to our team.  The 76ers have a player that has great interest to me with Noel.  With Embiid they'd be trying to run him and Noel together, but I think for them we have a piece that could interest them.  First off I'm a fan of trying to resign Sully because his skills fit what need more then KO.  I'd be offer the 76ers KO and the 45th pick in the draft, for Noel.  The Celtics keep the 33rd pick in the draft.  With this pick I believe we draft Christmas. 

So the team without adding any free agents besides Crowder who we'd resign would look as such.

Center - WCS, Noel
Power Forward - Sully, Christmas,
Small Forward - Turner, Crowder, Wallace (We keep him with or without stretch)
Shooting Guard - Bradley, Young
Point Guard - Smart, Thomas.

Free Agency is where we'd be able to upgrade in plenty of areas.  I just rather keep building through the draft and add in one big free agent this year, and then when the cap goes up even more next year we could add a bigger free agent. 

Let me what you think about this option, it's just a random idea, but think it's very doable with the pieces.

The trade for the #6 pick is a little biased toward us, but not unreasonably so, but the trade with the 6ers is just hilarious

Not enough for the Kings, and not close for Sixers

[Celts Fan 508]

Lol, this is irony I think, no way the OP is serious with those trades (especially the 76ers trade) IMO.  Thanks for the laugh.

Exactly

[colincb]

A little more needed for the Kings.  Sixers deal DOA.

Drugs are bad, mkay?

I think the trade with Sac is fair, and I would hesitate to do it. Zeller can be of a better value next season.
As for the trade with Philly, I do it, but I would be very worried Danny get arrested for it.

Why would we want Noel and WCS to split 48 mins at the 5? Trade for one, not both.

And that Line-up would make Stevens (and the rest of the coaches in the league save for Flip and Byron Scott) puke because Smart and Bradley would be our two best shooters.

[tazzmaniac]

Why would you even want both WCS and Noel?  They're very similar players and couldn't play together effectively. 

[JohnBoy65]

Assuming you're acquiring Noel as a backup center I guess that's a good package…….?

[Celtics4ever]

Center - WCS, Noel
Power Forward - Sully, Christmas,
Small Forward - Turner, Crowder, Wallace (We keep him with or without stretch)
Shooting Guard - Bradley, Young
Point Guard - Smart, Thomas.

Jeez if we had Noel and WCS they both would be playing and the inside would be locked down, I would bench Sully.   We need guys who can play defense.  Though I would be happy with one of these and a decent two way stretch four, that leaves Sully out.

Cmon, they weren't realistic ideas, and I know what you're saying is meant as a joke, but c'mon. That's just mean.

If the Celtics are able to land Noel for Kelly Olynyk, I'll eat a whole plate of nachos.  Yes, I understand that in most of these circumstances people opt for eating their own hats or shoes, but I don't want to commit to something so wasteful.  I need my hat.  It rains a lot here in Seattle.   Shoes are expensive.   If it's any consolation, I'm mildly lactose intolerant.  I'm not going to die or anything, but eating a whole plate of nachos is going to make me extremely gassy.  My girlfriend will be annoyed.  Luckily, it's a risk worth taking, because #1 - I love nachos and #2 - There's no way in hell the 76ers give up Nerlens Noel for Kelly Olynyk.

Switching Zeller with Olynyk would get Sac to at least pick up the phone
