Stephen A Smith: Caron Butler, Bledsoe, Blake Griffin..for KG, Pierce...and Doc?

[AB_Celtic]

Three team trade:

BOS Out: Pierce, Garnett
BOS In: Jefferson, Jordan

LAC Out: Jordan, Butler, Bledsoe, Crawford
LAC In: Pierce, Garnett

UTA Out: Jefferson
UTA In: Butler, Bledsoe, Crawford

Rondo/T.Will
Bradley/Terry
Green/Lee
Jefferson/Bass
Jordan/Sullinger

Suddenly, we're huge up front.

I would be very happy if this is how the offseason turns out. I would also be ok with Josh Smith replacing Jefferson in this scenario.

Even though I'd rather have Chris Paul over Blake, I would actualy LOVE if this trade happened for the Celtics sake.

And one thing I am surprised no one has mentioned:

If this were to happen, the Celtics win this trade by a landslide!!

Hell if the Clips are going to take the old guys of our hands, they can also have Jason Terry too.

Also, am I crazy to think that with this trade, the Celtics are still possibly a playoff contender?

As for the Clips, this is a dead end for them, which is why I don't think they'll do it. I mean how on earth do the Clipper plan to conted with a 37 year old KG and a 36 year old Paul Pierce.

And good luck with Pierce in the playoffs. He was a total dud in the playoff this year.

I say the Celtics make out like bandits and hope this happens. I also think Avery Johnson would be a very good replacement for Doc as I think it's Doc's time to go too.
 
Finally, imagine if the Celts could also deal Rondo to Utah in a S & T for Al Jefferson. Our starting lineup would be

Bledsoe - PG
Bradley -SG
Green _SF
Blake - PF
Al Jeff - C

with Sully, Lee, Bass, Melo, Crawford and Caron Butler all coming off the bench. Not too shabby.

This would be the best deal in sports if it actually happens.

Isn't this the Stephen A Smith rumor?

Edit: Yep. What's the journalistic equivalent of a "retweet"? Actually, using the term "journalistic" might be a bit of a stretch.

It's a nonsense trade.  Original source:  the imagination of Stephen A. Smith.

old news posted on other threads already

[pearljammer10]

Haha this rumor is so hilariously terrible.

Imagine if we then flipped rondo and bass to sactown for cousins, Evans, and a bad contract filler... Our lineup could be:

Bledsoe/terry
Evans/Bradley
Green/butler
Griffin/sully
Cousins/Jordan

Haha how exciting would that team be? Crazy.

This reporter is some hack trying to get hits on his rehashed, garbage article.

Goodness i thought this had some fire to it. Just saying what SAS said. Well who knows. I'm sure there will be more rumors. Soon Could you imagine though? I would try and flip Rondo and DeAndre for something like someone said above Cousins and Tyreke. Gotta have a big man that can shoot with blake cause he cant.

He's not even a reporter!!  He's in yahoo's "contributing network".  Yahoo has to do a much better job making this clearer and making clear exactly what this means.  Looking at the author's "bio", this is what it says:

Student at Fairfield University, double major in Accounting and Finance. Aspiring NBA writer.

the thing is, SAS for all his bluster has very reliable sources and his intel is very good.  I didn't hear the original segment so I have no idea if he was reporting this with sources or if he was just pondering out loud.

  If you get Griffin and Jordan there's no reason to take on a head case and a volume shooter like Cousins and Evans.
