Which wing do you want the Celtics to trade for most?

[TheTruth34]

Surprised that there's such little love for Tyreke Evans.  So many would actually prefer Parsons?
Evans is the proverbial "swiss-army knife" - versatile, can guard multiple positions and do many things well offensively.  The knock is that he's not a shooter, but I'd argue that his range simply doesn't extend to the three point line (30% from there last season).

That said, the guy is just 25 years old, and proved to be a fantastic playmaker, initiating the offense when Jrue Holiday went down last season.  Could easily see him as the third option playing with two primary stars.

Problem with Tyreke is the Celtics could use range, which is why Parsons is being talked about a lot on here... But honestly, I don't see Evans, Parsons, Barnes or a few of the other guys on the block. If they are, could the Celtics afford them? Gallo seems obtainable.

Add Wilson Chandler to this list.  I'm not sure why no one talks about him.  He'd probably be cheaper than Gallo and he's better and more durable, I think.  I have liked Chandler for a while and he'd be a good wing for Stevens system.  He is hard nosed in a similar way to Crowder and he shot 35% on threes last year.

He'd be my top option.  I think you could get him for very little and that's what we want, not some guy who isn't quite good enough but is going to cost a lot of our assets to get.

The C's need someone who can shoot the 3 and score. Galinarri, Wislon, Parsons would like be my top choices. I doubt Parsons os avaliable but the other 2 could be nice fits on the C's.

[YoungOne87]

Gallo seems the most logical candidate to me.
Good shooter and versatile scorer when healthy to go along with good size for the SF spot.

Barnes would be my ideal candidate but he will only be available if GSW dont want to pay him aswell after they already paid curry, thompson and green.
(maybe similar to the okc - harden situation 2 years ago)

I absolutely agree but I think Tyreke's lack of three point range is pretty crippling as far as his place on this team goes. I think he could be a valuable contributor off the bench as a primary ball handler for many teams, but I'm not sure the Celtics are one of them.

I know this is somewhat unrelated, but I'd challenge the notion that we need to trade for a 3 at all.

1) Even at best, we are a low echelon playoff team with no shot at a title. Thus, upgrading at the 3 isn't really going to change that. So sure, if DA can make a move that makes sense, he should. But he shouldn't overpay or ruin the team's future financial flexibility to do so.

2) The C's already have Turner and Crowder to man the 3. On top of that, like it or not, Stevens will likely trot out a fair amount of 3 guard lineups given that Smart, Thomas, Bradley, and Rozier could all command more minutes than the 2 guard spots can provide. And that isn't even factoring in any impact Young, Hunter, or Jerbenko could have there.

So yes, I'd like a 3, but only if the right one comes along at the right price. Otherwise, I'd rather wait till the deadline or even next summer to address the issue.

(A) If we're going to aim to be a middle of the road also-ran, let's do it right and actually try to balance out the depth chart a little bit.  Watching a team muddle through an up and down season and then get killed in the first round is bad enough without having to watch the coach go through crazy lineup contortions just to get the best players on the floor.

Trading for a decent wing and clearing up some of the clutter should not require compromising future flexibility too much.  Perhaps Danny will have to combine some assets to get less than he'd prefer, but some of these guys are going to wither on the vine anyway if he doesn't.

(B) Neither Turner nor Crowder is a good starting option at the 3.  Indeed, Turner is a poor option.  Crowder is best as a multi-position backup.

But I'd ask you the end result of "do[ing] it right" vs. sticking with the status quo. Even if we land a decent 3, what's really going to change? A few more wins? Losing 4-2 in a playoff series rather than being swept?

Again, I'm not opposed to getting a 3. I think it's something Danny needs to do. But I don't think overpaying for a middling, potentially short term option is worth it in the short term interest of "balancing out the roster" when it could potentially be done via the draft or free agency next year.

Thanks man just added him

If we could land any 2 of Demar Derozan or Chandler Parson than I would consider our offseason a success.

Here's a name nobody has brought up: Shabazz Muhammad. He can play some SG and SF, has a nice shot and is a hustle player (Ainge and CBS seem to like that quality a lot).

Minnesota is close to having something put together but looks thin at SG. Could offer them AB and a pick?

Shabazz Muhammad as a hustle player instead of the guy no one wanted because he pouted when he didn't get the ball.

What a time to be alive.

He was quite selfish in college but there haven't been those complaints in the NBA so far. Plus, LaVine and Rubio seem to love passing to him so he can nail that left handed hook shot

I just think Muhammad would compliment Jae Crowder quite well at the SF. One to play good D, one to score some points.
