bos-det-atl: rondo trade idea

[Celtics Insider]

New proposal

To det: rondo, bass,melo
To bos: siva, monroe, stuckey

Separate trade to atl

To det: josh smith
To atl: knight, charlie v, 2 1sts

The only way i see our trade going through is if det also gets josh smith. Monroe, sully, olynyk trio upfront would be interesting to see.  We would have possible pg issues, but we got a ton of future 1sts to fix that via trade or future picks. Rondo one way or the other i see being traded. U prob cant get better than monroe as a return. Some like drummond but apparently he is an untouchable i read

Another horrible trade. You severely underestimate the value of Rondo.

That one isn't that bad, given that Monroe is a 23 year old starting center entering his 4th year and coming off of a 16p/9.6r/3.5a season.  Not a great shot blocker, but pretty good hands with 1.3 steals a game. Siva and Stuckey are meh, but at least with that trade Boston gets a real and very strong young player in Monroe and at a position that is the most difficult to fill.

Exactly. But some fans here want michael jordan for rondo. What do they expect back for a guy who is coming back a major injury? Same fans that cried victim to the kg, pp trade when imo we robbed brooklyn with three 1sts

Only player I want from DET is Drummond.

As much as you want drummond, det wants him also. Basically he is considered an untouchable after the season he had.

I've had him as an untouchable NBA player coming out of high school. I really think he has the potential to be a Hall of Famer, in the right offense. I'm in lov with his passing (again, only in the right offense...he's not a post-up player).

Bass, Lee, Wallace, 2 future lottery protected firsts

for Knight, Stuckey, Charlie V.




If it takes giving up first rounders to dump three contracts, I would do it all day long.

and you'd be canned as a GM in the same day.  that's absolutely horrible.  just freaking horrible.

Bass is still a solid PF.  Lee is a solid SG.  Wallace had a lousy year last year but he could turn it around.  To toss away 2 first rounders to take on a so-so PG, a sos-so SG and a crappy PF -- regardless of them expiring -- would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

getting rid of those deals doesn't help us much since we need anther 2-3 years (when these contracts would expire anyway) to acquire better young players which would be hampered by giving away 2 1sts
