DeAndre Jordan?

I think if the Celtics get Iguodala and Jordan as the 2 main targets, they are set

How do you propose accomplishing that, though?  Jordan is too expensive, and we're not getting Iggy without sending talent + expiring contracts back Philly's way.

RayRay for Iggy Hops?

What an amazing way to make our team worse at two position with a 1-player trade. Props, that's usually not an easy task to accomplish.

He is not really available. Not for the Celtics anyway.

DeAndre Jordan is a restricted free agent and the Clippers are pretty much a certainty to match an MLE offer. It'll take more cash than the C's have to offer to pry him away from LA.

He will get horribly overpaid this summer, because GMs will think they're paying for the second coming of Ben Wallace -- and he's not quite there yet.

I think you can overspend in worse ways. At the very worst, you've got a fast 7 footer who can finish, rebound, and is a great weak side defender. Pretty much a slightly better version of Sam Dalembert.

It doesn't matter how you overspend. Ainge will not cut himself out of the 2012 FA market, unless he manages to land someone who's better than any available FA (i.e. a franchise cornerstone type of player).

I'm just saying in general, I'm more than aware that the Celtics have literally no chance of acquiring him.
