Ray Allen+(who?) for James Harden

[ianboyextreme]

That ship has sailed.  Our best chance to get Harden was during the Perkins trade but OKC wouldnt budge.  Instead they gave us Green.

Ray Allen is also sorta irreplaceable for the Celtics right now.  Who out there can come in and replace his skillset?  I'd rather play Ray for the entire season, and then use the cap space he frees up when his contract is over to sign a monster in 2012 - Can we say Dwight Howard?

I would love dwight, just scared he'll get traded before then.

If Ray was to get traded for rebuilding purposes that would have happened 2 years ago.  At this point he is 36 and an expiring contract.  He has little trade value and moving him doesn't really have signficant cap implications.  The only way he could get traded this season is if somebody else came in and took over his starting spot and that would make him expendable; but again you aren't going to get much value for him.

Ray for Rudy Gay and a protected first.

If we trade Ray or KG, this might have severe effects on the team's chemistry like what happened with Perk.. If you're trading one of our core, you might as well blow the whole team up.. If we're looking to contend this season, JO, Bradley and the 2 1st round picks are our only tradeable assets (the 2 rooks can't be traded for a while ) .
