Looks like we're blowing it up.

With all of this Clipper talk, seems like Danny is finally pushing the detonator. I for one hope we get Jordan + Bledsoe + a pick at least. I really don't want to keep Bledsoe, and hope Rondo stays. I really think in 3-4 years with some luck we could be back in the promised land of championship contention. I am going to miss PP and KG, but it's obviously time to move on and looks like Ainge see's that too.

I hope he doesn't trade just for the sake of trading.

It's the best deal we would get. Danny actually has leverage with Doc being under contract. PP and KG aren't going to do anything for us next year besides another mediocore "up/down" year with a first round exit as a finale.

i think dannys been shopping around. with doc in the deal, it gives us more leverage for draft picks. we have to bite

we;ve heard of this deandre jordan deal for a while now, i believe its the best deal

Wonder if the compromise can be reached on Bledsoe/Butler for KG/Doc (no Jordan, no picks.)

Seems to me like Bledsoe is the carrot that Ainge is really after.

I think the Celtics will be able to unload two of Bass/Terry/Lee or get Bledsoe, they will probably have to choose between those two.

That strikes me as getting the minimum value for Bass/Terry/Lee.  Sure, unload them if you need the cap space this summer, but I think you get more by waiting until January/February when a team needing veteran help can afford them without having a problem matching contracts or until next off-season, when Bass and Terry are expiring contracts.
