I usually don't like trade ideas and I am reluctant to suggest this one, but I have been thinking for a while that our Nets/Hawks pick could be very valuable to Atlanta and I think Al Horford is a terrific player who would look great in a Celtics uniform. With Asik on the block, I wonder if the following might be worth a thought or two:
Bass, Vitor and 2nd round pick for Asik.
Hawks/Nets Pick, Clips 2015 pick, Olynik (Sully?) and Humphries (Green?)for Horford.
This leaves us with:
RR/ JC/ Pressey
AB/ Lee
Green / GW
Horford/Sully
Asik/ Horford/ Sully
This looks like a good young team to me, still with picks and assets to trade.
I realize Atlanta is very unlikely to part with Horford, but I think we could offer a pretty tempting package giving them salary cap flex, a serious tank option this year, and the possibilty that Brooklyn stays in the lottery.
Be kind -- I am recovering from a tough Pats loss.
