To Cavs: Pierce, Rondo + 2015 1st
To Bos: 2013 1st + 31st, Casspi, Gee, Ellington
Celtics picks: 1st) Noel 16th) Schroeder (or move up for him) 31st) Ledo
Why the cavs do this trade: They are sick and tired of lotto picks. They want to win now. Rondo and Irving backcourt could be deadly , Varejao does the dirty work up front and Pierce provides the vet leadership the team hasn't had since losing lebron.
Why the celts do this trade: Its rebuild time. We all know how much Noel likes the Celtics and vice versa. Cavs are dreading having this pick so instead we could make their lives easier and draft a guy we would really like. Noel and Sully tandem in the near future sounds like a dream. Schroeder seems like a pg Danny has been eyeying, bc he is like Rondo. Two highly quick and athletic picks (taking care of the two most spots in the lineup) , that could only bring tears to danny's eyes. Ledo is a risky but high reward pick.
Lineup possibility in the near future
Starting: Noel- Sully - Green- Ledo - Schroeder
Bench: Melo- Bass - AB - T Will - casspi - Gee-Ellington - 2014 pick
How about this lineup as a super fastrack to contending again??
Just say no. First off we don't get near the value we should for Rondo let alone for Pierce and Rondo. You overvalue Noel big time. Also, Noel is nowhere near the size of a center. He weighs maybe 220 pounds and is coming off 2 major surgeries in the last few year. Plus that team wouldn't be a fast track for anything but repeated lottery drafts. Schroeder definitely is high risk and reading the latest reports on Ledo he won't be around at 31.
