Will Ray get traded before the deadline?

[Drucci]

Regardless of your opinion (whether you think Ray should or should not get traded), do you think that Danny will trade him before the deadline?

Again, regardless on your opinion on whether it will be a good idea, a good move or a terrible one, do you think Danny will get it done?

I still think we should keep Ray but unfortunately, with the ways things have been going recently and the rumors about Martin, etc, I see Danny pulling a "panic move" and trading him... that's why I will wait until the deadline in fear of hearing that Ray is gone.

I'm going to buy into the "where there's smoke, there's fire" viewpoint, and say "yes".  I don't think it's necessarily the smart move unless we get back a star player -- to me, there aren't really shades of mediocrity -- but I think Danny will pull the trigger regardless.

I'm predicting the Ray Allen version of "Ricky and Blount for Wally", whatever that is.

I think that we should try and get that AI trade, but it's not gonna happen.

Danny wants to trade Ray but he won't find an adequate trade.

No Ray Allen trade.

I think it unlikely.

Hard to get full value, plus Cs will need to take on add'l contracts and/or give up a draft pick to get anyone good. 

As fans maybe we expect management to do this, but I was shocked when they used the full MLE over the summer, and I dont expect them to overextend themselves financially again.  Keeping the current team intact could work out, if mgt believes this is just a rough spot, plus retains a fair amount of flexibility going forward (ie: resign Ray on the cheap or involve him in a S&T).
