How is the trade awful? Did yall not witness Calderon performance yesterday? He had a triple double. Ed davis also was efficient (only playing the the 1st & 3d) & Ryan Anderson was letting it fly last night.
This trade will benefit us & the other teams needs big time. too bad it won't happen Danny!
You propose to trade a elite talent in Rondo (top five PG) without getting any elite talent back in return either in the form of established stars or top level prospects. You don't trade star talent like Rondo who is in his prime and on an affordable contract for depth.
I like Jose Calderon. I think he is a top 15 PG in the league. Ed Davis is a middle of the pack backup PF but he has some solid potential to him and could be a solid starter one day. Ryan Anderson is a very good backup PF to passable starter.
Exactly, the trade doesn't make any sense as frankly Green and Bass are nearly as good as Davis and Anderson (and might actually be better). In other words, Boston downgrades pretty much across the board, which equates to an awful trade. Now if Boston was receiving Calderon, Bargnani, and DeRozan in addition to Anderson, I think it would at least be plausible (though I still wouldn't do it).
This trade does work financially (though again I don't think it would get done, it is just more plausible from Boston's perspective)
BOS gets - Anderson, Calderon, Bargnani, DeRozan
TOR gets - Rondo, Bass, Lee
NOH gets - Green, Melo
That would put Boston's lineup as
PG - Calderon, Terry
SG - Bradley, DeRozan, Terry
SF - Pierce, DeRozan
PF - Bargnani, Anderson, Sullinger
C - Garnett, Bargnani, Wilcox
Not really sure that makes the C's a better team overall, but it does add a lot of depth down low and gives the C's a much bigger SG for the situations when they need one, so it is at least a plausible trade from that perspective.
