Trade Pierce + Jet to Brooklyn for Humphries, Reggie Evans, and Marshon Brooks
Then the classic KG + Bass + Lee + Future 1st for Bledsoe, Jordan, and Butler deal...not sure why it didn't go down before. Can someone inform me on the details here? Was it simply KG not exercising his option?
People hate on Humphries for his whole celebrity thing. But the two seasons before this past season, he was actually productive averaging a double-double. This guy is solid and 28. He was overpaid true, but the only reason for that was in the hopes of swinging him for a star. On top of that we get Reggie Evans who I've wanted for forever because he simply grabs rebounds and Brooks.
Pierce can really help out the Nets. I doubt they waive him. As much as I'd hate him play in the same division:
D-Will/JJ/Pierce/Gerald wallace/Lopez with JET off the bench is a very good lineup to throw out for the team and puts them in a great position to contend
Celtics 2013-2014
Rondo/Bradley
Brooks/Bledsoe/Crawford
Green/Butler
Humphries/Evans/Sully
Jordan/Melo
More importantly
Humphires and Butler free up 20 million as they are expiring. Plus it gives us 20 million in expiring contracts to potentially trade [another 1.2 Million in Crawford]
Also opens the doors for us to trade some combination of: Brooks, Bradley, Bledsoe, Sullinger, Fab Melo, Jordan
I honestly think with Rondo running the show with that team, things can work out very well.
The Red Sox this season are showing me that you don't necessarily need your stars, people will step up
