idea Noel to Celtics

[wiley]

Cavs say no. If we want the first pick it would probably have to be a 3 team deal. Only one I could think of would be:

CLE sends: 1st pick
CLE gets: Mo Harkless, 2nd overall pick (Otto Porter)

ORL sends: 2nd pick, Mo Harkless, Jameer Nelson
ORL gets: Rondo (absorbed with DH12 TE), Green

BOS sends: Rondo, Green
BOS gets: 1st overall pick, Jameer

Plus, trading for Noel is an all out rebuild, why get rid of Sullinger who's game would complement Noel perfectly? If its a rebuilding trade then Sully/AB should be the only ones considered to stay. Also an AB/Sully/Noel core would have a really good chance of adding Parker/Wiggins. I can't see them winning a lot of games, especially with Noel sidelined for almost half the season.

Yeah that makes sense to me as well.  You'd have to give up Rondo to get the #1.

I think you guys are treating the #1 too abstractly here.  So I'm inclined to respond by saying thank the lord Danny wouldn't do that one. 

I mean that deal is a huge steal for Cleveland and Orlando would never do it either, considering there is NO consensus between picks 1 and 2 this year (would be Noel I think but his knee makes it quite even between he and MacLemore).

EDIT:  take it back.  Orlando might do it.  It's mainly the Celtics who get hosed.

The reason i post this idea is because is makes a little sense after all.

-Some of you suggested that we would be giving up to much. If we not include Sullinger would you do it? Cavs know that this draft is weak and that Noel doesn't have LeBron potential. In other thread people were discusing how little value 16th or 19th pick on this draft have. So 1st pick will have less value and Cavs would like SF in Green who can score 18ppg. They might accept, who knows.

-Why for us and what i was thinking to achieve with this idea?

First of all if we trade Green we will not tank. Only way to look for a high pick in 2014 is to trade Rondo. No other way. If KG and PP retire and Rondo is still on the team we will still be a good enough team and we will not get Wiggins. No team will trade high picks in 2014 so we must trade Rondo to hope for Wiggins and than wait few years for him to be star. So we will need 5+ years for that kind of rebuild.

 My idea was to make faster rebuild. Get Noel to play one season with KG and improve. Keep Rondo, Bradley and in 2014 when KG and PP are of the books we look for a good player, and there will be good free agents. So 2014 , a lot of free cap, Rondo,Bradley,Noel maybe Sullinger signed. We add a max player or near max player and make much faster rebuild. That was my idea, i'm not GM and maybe my idea suck but to me it makes a little sense for Cle and Bos

But it just doesn't make enough sense to do it.
