What would you give up to get him?

He is clearly dissatisfied in Millwauke and he is not playing right now.

He is on the books for 10 mil next year. Is that enough to scare us away?

In my opinion, adding SJax makes us a better matchup for Miami.

That being said, we would have to give up JO...

Thoughts? Dont kill me on this one...I'm a big SJax fan.

Can't give up a big man to upgrade Daniels (4th swing man)

I just have no faith that JO will be around in the plyoffs...that  balky knee of his and all.

But I get your point...

Not sure Jacks adds much to the C's. I wouldn't pursue it.

That's why they need to look to add another big man.

I'm a SJax fan as well and would like to add him if possible, but we just have too much depth at the wing and not enough at the C to make that deal.

Why does everyone here seem to think JO is a highly tradable asset?  Why don't we trade JO for X or for Y or for Z?  Despite the fact he is an expiring contract I don't see many teams wanting to take him on; especially for an asset that has value (or what we'd be looking for).

Um...we'd be trading him for a guy who hasnt left the bench the last 5 games for his team.

Right now, SJax has even less value to his team than JO does to the C's. Also, JO would give the Bucks some much needed depth at C.

Of course, we would be giving up depth at C as well but what I have seen from KG at the Center position has surprised me quite a bit. I think we match up with Miami and Chi with more wing depth as opposed to more C depth.

Plus I dont think JO is going to last much longer. Let's get somehting for him before he is just an expiring.

I'd like to see Orlando or Dallas make a run at S-Jax.

Just not a fan.  Not the right attitude, not the right decision-making.  That just isn't how we want to start off the new era of Celtics Basketball.  Celtic Pride!

JO is pretty much fodder to match salaries, but could be a servicable backup somewhere.  We imagine his value to other teams, but really, his highest value is to a team like us, but as a backup, not a starter.

So it's a catch-22:  need to trade him to upgrade, but need to keep him, too.
