I WILL DO THIS IN A HEARTBEAT WITH NO HESITATIONS
brandon bass + filler
fab melo or d.j. white
+ Picks or + Cash
Equals
Timofey Mozgov
Anthony Randolph
Denv. barely plays either of these guys, and we could use some young healthy size, basically two 7 footers, and we would get out from underneath Bass's contract.
I think you can look at both Mozgov and Randolph as building blocks for this next era of Celtics, but at the same time they can help in the immediate moment this season. And if we don't like what we see from Mozgov, he's contract is up at the end of the year, so we can let him walk.
And Finally, with Rondo out, how useful is Bass on the court honestly? He really isn't useful on the defensive end, and offensively, if he's not pick-popping with rondo, what else does he do? Moving forward I dont really expect a lot of pick n roll or pick n pop offense, there will probably be a lot of dribble hand-offs, so, where does that leave Bass? He's not going to post up and get the ball for low post offense.
I honestly think he's a better fit for Denver at this point and moving forward, he can do pick n pop with ty lawson and A. miller, and Denv. can do stagger picks, with Javale rolling hard and Bass popping, and Lawson with the ball looking at all of those options.
I personally believe, Randolph still has a lot of potential in his game, he's still only 23-24 and can be a good piece moving forward with Rondo, Bradley, Sully, Green, and others.
Either way, Bass has got to go. And Boston still needs to find a big guy, and not waste time trying to find a "rondo-replacement"
