Dealing with Danny (idea)

Would Utah give up on Kessler like that?

The Celtics have to make a shake up and I'm not sure just a little one.  The first trade they need to make is for Walker Kessler.  The Springer and two 1st for Kessler.   When we just let Sabonis get 28 rebounds single handedly, that's pathetic.  Honestly though I'm wanting to see a major shake up and I believe the Jazz is the place to do it.  Holiday, Springer, Scheirerman, 2 1st, 1 or 2 seconds for Kessler, Sexton and Clarkson.  It gives the Jazz a veteran point guard to go with Markkanen and the hope they can get Flagg.  Also giving them more picks and our former 1st and Springer.  Celtics get the Center of the future, Sexton who's only 26 and can start or be 6th man like Pritchard, Clarkson giving our bench more scorers.  I know this is a crazy idea but it actually works with the trade restrictions we have and it would improve us greatly.

Okay, I have a question. How much better is Walker Kessler than Luke Kornet? Because I think it's probably less than people think.

Per 36 minutes this year according to bb reference:

Kessler: 13.0ppg/13.8rpg/1.9apg/3.1bpg/.8spg/2.4topg with a 70.9% TS and .9 VORP
Kornet: 9.9ppg/10.9rpg/3.2apg/2.2bpg/1.4spg/1.2topg with a 66.0% TS and .8 VORP

He's better than Kornet, I'm just not sure he's ENOUGH of an upgrade to justify substantial draft pick outlay. For the early second rounder OR the C's first this year? I'd consider that. Anything more than That I'm a hard pass.

I think a lot of the fascination with him is he's one of the few available young guys with a contract the C's could actually trade for. Not sure how much of a good idea it is beyond availability.

No one on this thread has explained why Danny would trade away a promising young big like Kessler.

Also, if you not trading away a center, you will end up with too many: KP, Horford, Kornet, Queta, Tillman, Kessler, plus Watson on a 2-way
