If rumors are true what would the next step be?

If the rumored clip- celtics trade happens and kg + pp are go e and butler, Jordan and Bledsoe are in then what is the next step for DA?

The logical next step is to move Terry. Either in life him in the clip deal some how or move him right after. he will want no part in the new look Cs.

Then the big question is how to move forward with rondo, Ab and Bledsoe . They good just go the season with an undersized super quick guard rotation. Either this offseason or next the guards will dictate if this is a quick reload or a long rebuild. If its a reload then one or both of Bledsoe and Avery will be traded in a draft pick heavy package for a 26- 30 year old Allstar to play with rondo and green. If its a long term rebuild rondo will be traded and Bledsoe becomes the point guard.

The rondo disition will then dictate the futures of Lee, Bass and Green. Rondo stays they stay if rondo is traded they go.

yeah, I think if they are able to do this, they then try to move Bass, Terry and maybe Lee.

I think Bledsoe could put AB on the bench.   I think he is almost as good if not a better defender.

I think they will keep Green and Rondo to put people in the seats.

Lee and Bass could be gone.

I think Bledsoe could put AB on the bench.   I think he is almost as good if not a better defender.

...what?

I think the next thing is to move out all our middle of the road contracts: Bass, Terry and Lee, for young players or late picks. They are of no real use to a rebuilding squad. We might as well take some chances on young guys and hope they develop into something useful.

Ideally I would like to move Terry or Lee (more likely Lee) to the Grizzlies for their trade exception and turn around and send that to the Rockets with a second round pick (or potentially one of the late first rounders we get from LAC) for Thomas Robinson.

Grizzlies fans seem on board:

And you know Houston wants to dump salary.

I really hope Danny can do the LAC deal with just KG and Terry and then find a team willing to trade for Pierce and waive him for the cap savings and then he can proceed to sign with LAC for vet. minimum or MLE.

I think that would work best for them because they won't be taking on too much salary and complicating things, and we can probably get a decent asset/pick from the team waiving Pierce in exchange for the cap room they get.

From there we should try to find a landing spot for Bass (I think Denver makes sense as a destination but not sure if there is any interest).

Thats a pretty young and talented roster and we can make more moves towards the trade deadline when teams get desperate.
