Boston-OKC-Minn trade (idea)

[Nerf DPOY]

This is sort of a combination of some of the other recent proposals....sort of.

Boston trades KG to OKC for Perk, filler, and the #12 pick. KG theoretically puts the Thunder over the top and they may see the 12th pick as a reasonable price to pay for that.

Then we deal Pierce(and they use the buyout option), Bradley, Sullinger,picks 12,16, and our pick in '15 for Love and filler. This of course depends on the  idea that Love is currently stomping his feet demanding a trade and they relent. That's not a great return for an all-star big but I've seen worse.

So our new core would be Love, Rondo, Green basically.

Edit: And of course I'm aware of KG's no-trade clause, though this would present him with a realistic chance at a few more rings before he hangs 'em up.

I like the idea of trading KG to OKC for that #12 pick (if rebuilding).

No interest in Perkins whatsoever - unless he comes in for the vet minimum after being amnestied.

His current contract is ridiculous.

Well yeah but turning Perk and that contract into KG is their motivation, not our prize. That's the pill we'd have to swallow for getting that pick. Maybe it's not worth it...

Actually one way I'd like to amend the first proposal would be maybe keep our 16th pick and offer our '14 pick instead. Minny's already got #9 and 26 in this draft. They might prefer another pick in '14 instead of having 4 of them this year.
