You need to STOP coming up with trades where we send out Brandon Bass and "filler" in return for other teams' best players or even good role players.
Bass is filler. Whatever trade he would be included in would revolve around another player/pick as the centerpiece. Bass would be the add on.
If we want Horford we are sending Rondo to Atlanta and they are going to pair him with Josh Smith. There is no way that they send Horford out of town for anything less, let alone Bass.
The only reasonable trade I've seen you propose is Bass and our 2013 first for Mozgov and Randolph. Now look at the talent coming back in that trade and compare it to Al Horford. See the difference?
