Travis Outlaw Now On The Trading Block? + Hanging Out With Danny Ainge's Nephew

I believe they are going to use Outlaw to get their PG.  Chicago?

The signing of Hedo I think eliminates any chances of trading for a point guard. Hedo will the dominate ball handler along with Roy. 2010 will big year for them. Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge will be FA's. They can't have many large contract on their books, especially when Roy commands the max.

You might be right.  But if they do decide to get a PG, Chicago could be the team.  But I don't think they trade Outlaw.  Sounds like Rudy Fernandez wants to start somewhere, and I could see Chicago being a great place for that.  Rudy and Batum for Hinrich?  Seems fair on both sides to me.  But they might be better off keeping Rudy.  He's young and has a decent future.  He'll get over them signing Hedo.

And Big Baby is tough to sign and trade because of his Base Year Compensation status.  You can trade him to a team under the cap, and teams under the cap would probably try to get someone better than Big Baby.

The Celtics should not be sending 1st round draft picks right now.  That will be the draft pick the year Pierce expires that season.  Ray will have already expired. 


I don't think it will happen, but given the ages of the players, that could be a lotto pick.
