Not a blow up trade but a youth infusion

[CFAN38]

Trade

To Boston
      OJ Mayo
      Jason Thompson

To Sacremento
      Jermiane O'Neil (expires this year)
      Boston 1st rd pick

To Memhis
      Avery Bradely
      Donte Green


Sacramento gains a draft pick in a great draft and an expiring contract for 2 young players who haven't. panned out on there system

Memphis gains two young high potential players for a guy they are going to let walk after the season. Greene can help fill the void at PF and Avery will fit in nicely as TAs backup

Boston gains two young athletic players who will have to buy into the team defense but will give us energy and offensive punch off the bench. Rondo,Mayo,Pietrus,Bass, and Thompson make a great scoring and offensive rebounding unit but poor D.

[PosImpos]

Avery Bradley and a 1st round pick is not enough to give up for Jason Thompson and OJ Mayo.

The Grizz need depth at PF and Sacramento lacks good wings.  Neither team needs an offensively inept combo guard.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

This is a win trade for Boston. I just don't see why Memphis will do this deal. Sacramento is a mess and might bite but I don't really see a reason why Memphis will give up Mayo for a 2nd year player and a bench warmer.

[CFAN38]

memphis is talking a mayo for farmar and a pick or mayo for morrow. Avery and Greene both hold value due to there age and high upside. Greene would give them PF depth and Avery would back up TA. Its not a great trade for Memphis but they at least get talent for a guy who they aren't bringing back. With there injures and young roster they might like the trade for the talent and depth it will give them next year. It really comes down to the sales pitch by danny

it could work i would put thompson in at center

[CFAN38]

I also see thompson as a center, but we would prob start KG and Bass. Then we would see thompson come in at 5 min mark for kg. Mayo could give us a second unit scorer and rondo would really be able to push the pace with this unit.

Mayo isn't nearly as good as a lot of people seem to think.

mayo is a great player with alot of potential to be something great in the nba i think he will play better on the east coast tbh 

[The DarkPassenger]

I like the idea of getting younger because it seems to me that is what is hurting this team. It seems weird to me that while the starters are in they are down but then when some of the bench guys come in all of a sudden the game is close.

If we're going to go forward with Rondo he needs younger guys to run with him. Plus Memphis is pushing to get rid of Mayo for basically duck sauce in return. You throw JO at them, since they needs bigs and see if they are interested.

The Celtics shouldn't blow it up, one thing I noticed is that most of the "older" teams in the league are still good because of the guys they have on the bench, who have been there and have a defined role and are good at that role. We seem to replace the bench each year, not good for consistency and chemistry.

^^ rondo & oj will be something specials

The Grizz need depth at PF and Sacramento lacks good wings.  Neither team needs an offensively inept combo guard.

Au contraire, I think the Kings could certainly use a young, defensive-minded combo guard to complement their current backcourt of gunners (Evans, Fredette, Thornton).

I wonder if the Celtics could find the salary filler to make a Bradley-for-Thompson trade work. Most of the guys I can think of to include can't be traded for a while.

TP-at least someone around here is paying attention.

I just don't get the Mayo infatuation.  Mayo is a selfish headcase, I wouldn't go near him.

[Tone]

I don't know what we give up to get them I think we should go after Mayo and Thompson there solid players who need a change in scenery that could get a chance in Boston.

Maybe so, but whose minutes do they sacrifice to give him playing time?  Do the Kings really want to add another point guard-sized shooting guard who can't run an offense to their rotation?  It only makes sense if they're trading away one of the combo guards they already have.

Mayo is exactly what this team needs right now, which is a guy who can get his own shot and score in bunches, and someone who will sit down and defend opposing 2's.  Look at what Mayo did his first two years in the league -- he's still that guy.
