  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Kind of a weird question, because you don't know what's coming back. Also, when? How are the guys playing?

I chose Green because I don't have faith that he'll justify his contract, so the sooner the better while his stock still holds some promise.

Bass. When his shot is not going down, he sucks. He has also peaked, whereas Green has flashes of brilliance and still has potential. He may need a full year to get back to speed after his surgery last year.

Lee is ok. If we didn't have Terry and Bradley he would be more valuable.

You don't trade Rondo unless you get a young all-star team leader.

I vote Green.



His contract, age and possible upside (which I think is never going to happen and he is the good player that he is) would give the Celtics the best chance to bring back the impact player they need.

his contract is a big reason why teams wont give us fair value for him. He's overpayed and they know it.

That's a valid point but I kind of wanted it to be vague. People are building all of these packages of multiple players and I was curious if people could only choose one player who they'd pick.

Do you just choose the worst player and ship him out? Do you trade the most expensive/under performing player? Do you trade the player who has the most value and can bring back value? Everybody has an approach and I was just curious who people would pick.

My vote is supposedly for Bass, but we won't net anything that would help us so I voted AB.

I said it a million times, if solid bigs like Gortat are being offered for AB, he has to be traded. He's an elite defender, great potential, but he won't solve the biggest problem that we have, which is interior presence. To win now, we need to sacrifice that potential.

If I have to trade one Celtic and only one Celtic it'd have to be Rondo, because he's clearly our biggest asset and subsequently would yield the best players/picks/whatever coming in.

But if the question is really "if you could move one Celtic out of the rotation for an unspecified player or asset of equal value, who would it be?" Then my answer is probably Colllins.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Bass = least valuable of the role players playing big minutes. Best option to upgrade.

The only players in trade that can bring a TRUE impact player, somebody who can help the Celtics .. is Rondo, or maybe some combo of Sully /Green / AB/Melo.

It will take a player like, Cousins, Milsap, Verejao, Love , JSmith , to impact and provide the  performance expected on the Celtic Front.

More than likey they will need Rondo as payment.

Gortat might be had for an AB /asetts trade.... Not sure I like this at all .  AB is nearly my fav Celtic after KG.

I 'd love to trade Bass/Green/Lee for a decent big ....don't think its enough. :'(

I vote Bass. I'm sick of him on this team. I mean last year I liked him for the simple fact he wasn't Big Baby, but now it's a different story.
