Alright, so finally with all the MeloDrama over we can catch up on some other trade rumors around the league. Well its obvious the Celtics need a 3 as we all know the less minutes Paul Pierce has to play during the regular season the better. As such, I have come up with an option I feel is reasonable and I haven't seen brought up at all. I will list why I feel we have a chance to land this player.

Terrence Williams

I am honestly surprised no one has mentioned him at all. I can't say that I watch many Nets games, except when they play the Celtics so I am not aware if his defense is average or better. All I know is this kid has potential and is extremely athletic. At 6'6" he has some size, but what he lacks in size I think he makes up for in his athletic ability. He is a decent 3point shooter at 33% for his career.

Why we may have a shot at him:


Williams has only played in only 6 games since the Nets traded him to the Rockets for a future first round pick and has only averaged 3 minutes a game. He is stuck behind a plethora of guards and small forwards which the Rockets have. He is openly frustrated with his lack of playing time and his contract works directly for Marquis. I figure with Marquis being able to give them a bit of cap space and a first round pick they could bite. Unfortunately, the Rockets don't seem pressed to trade to save some cap space and we don't have much else to offer them.

Why not! If Terrence is not part of their future, a 1st round pick could be enticing to Houston.

OK, how about Chase Budinger instead?

I think I would be happy with either. I just wish I knew more about them than just their stats.

The thing is if we trade Daniels for Williams, the trade works perfectly because the contracts match up. I would think they would accept that plus a first round pick, and I am all in for that, because Williams is young and has potential. I just look at his highlights and I'm drooling over the potential of Rondo throwing him alley-oops.

If we try to go for Budinger we would have to do some magic. The only contracts that work straight up for Budinger would be Wafer and I doubt Adelman wants him back. We could also do Gody and Erden, but no way should we trade our 3 problem for a big man problem. Houston does have a couple of trade exceptions however, but I imagine they would like to use those for a bigger deal
