Three way Celtics-Hawks-Jazz

[DavorCroatiaFan]

To C's: Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Kirk Hinrich

To Hawks: Kevin Garnett, Keyon Dooling

To Jazz: Ray Allen, Etwaun Moore, 1rd pick (worse our and clipps)

Hawks saves a ton of money and stays competitive this year
Jazz gets starting shooting guard and pick in a loaded draft
Celtics get two borderline all-stars, Rondo's friends and still young (Big Al 27, JSmoove 26)

Rondo, Hinrich, Bradley
Pietrus, Hinrich, Daniels
Pierce, Pietrus, Daniels
Smith, Bass, Johnson
Jefferson, O'Neal, Stiemsma/Wilcox

i posted a pretty similar trade on here a while back. I think you would have to give up both our picks this year to make this happen. Also, i think to entice the Jazz and hawks a bit more, they should trade marvin williams to the Jazz instead of Hinrich to the Celtics. Also i don't think the Hawks would have much use for Dooling but would probably like Bass (when available) or even JJJ/Bradley.

I dont mind smith but im not a huge al jefferson fan, i think hes kind of overrated to be honest...he's not that great of a defensive player. If we're getting rid of 2 of the big 3 I think we can do better even if they are old. Also, I'd rather get rid of bradley than moore. bradley is a great defender but moore has so much more offensive potential. with the right training i can see a future point guard in him, he already runs it nicely and he's barely played

I think it's a bit out there to think we could do better than this trade. I came up with a very similar trade a week ago and it was a best case scenario kind of thing. We would be a contending team in 2 years with those two guys, rondo, Peirce and still have some cap money left. No way we do better than this. Who do you believe we could get that's better than that duo?

I think the deal is slanted towards the C's so it's not likely to happen without the C's parting with more assets.  The thing I wonder about that you mentioned is that you think with Rondo, PP, Al and JS, there'd actually be any cap room left.  Trust me, there won't be.  C's would have some nice young assets -- particularly if they can keep Green and Bass -- but they'd have to live on the MLE and whatever draft picks they have to fill out the roster.  with that in mind, I don't see that team knocking off Chicago or Miami (well, maybe Chicago depending on who else they can add).

Love it. but...
Utah is looking at a playoff push this year, Allen helps but I'm not sure they can slide one of their young bigs into al's spot and not take a step back.
Atlanta has to consider themselves a borderline contender. can KG's vet smarts help them more then Smith?

I'd be excited to watch a young nucleus of rondo, smith and jefferson battle for a playoff spot this year and maybe more over the next few.
pitrius, hinrich JO and bass are a solid supporting cast.
all in all a fairly balanced trade.
TP, now go lock danny in a closet and get er done.

Not a bad amount of talent, but this trade takes us over the cap for a team that has no chance of contending (IMO), plus we lose a 1st rounder.

[Moranis]

neither Atlanta nor Utah does that trade.

neither Atlanta nor Utah does that trade.

Pretty much.

Might be able to steal a couple young guys and a pick from Utah though. Ray for Burk, Favors, and a lotto protected pick I would probably be all over. I think Utah would bite too they do have the nets 1st.
