The Hawks have matched the Bucks' offer for Teague (http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228884/Hawks-Match-Jeff-Teagues-Offer-Sheet-With-Bucks), leaving the Bucks under the cap (http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MIL.html).

Any chance now they go for a deal for Rondo or another deal with the C's instead?

They've got all their own picks over the next three years, as well as some additional second-rounders.

I want more then the picks the Celtics would get from the Bucks.



I thing there is still a good chance the Bucks could be a playoff team in the weak east if they got a good, healthy Rondo. 


If the Celtics do trade Rondo for draft picks, I rather they wait till after this season when they will know which picks they are actually getting.

I don't think their picks are enough for Rondo either.  They drafted Ledo and Giannis However-you-spell-it.  They'd probably like to give Jennings back.  Aren't likely to want to give up Sanders or Ilyasova.

Of course, they're a small market team.  Don't know whether they could be interested in Bass or Humphries, for example, or if there'd be a three-way deal that they could enable on the Rondo front.  It'd probably be asking too much to interest them in Wallace.

I actually would like Henson from them. Liked what i saw from him his rookie season and would be a good player with Rondo. They have sanders so he'll be a backup there.

I think Wallace could be a useful player for them. Something like Rondo/Wallace for Jennings/picks would be interesting.

Not a bad idea.

Only problem is other than Jennings, the only other guy on the roster that I'd love to have is Larry Sanders and I doubt they give him up.

Only thing I can think of something like
Rondo, Lee and Bass for
Jennings, Illyasova, Drew Gooden and 2014 first rd pick.
(which I don't think would be a bad deal.)

The Bucks are one team that has been discussed a lot lately as having an owner that refuses to bottom out and would rather win as many games as possible and try to make the 6-8 seed every year than bottom out, try to get an elite player, and run it back with a higher ceiling.

So they are a very intriguing destination for several of our guys. Rondo, Humphries, Wallace, Bass.

They may even be so focused on playoff that they would deal Sander, Henson, and or picks for a package of Rondo plus one or more of the above players.

If you could get Jennings on a reasonable deal, plus an unprotected pick, plus Sanders, plus dump Wallace, that would have to be considered.

I can see them giving him up in a Harden-like trade if he makes it clear that he wants the max and the Bucks are adamantly not giving it to him and won't match if he signs an offer sheet as a restricted free agent.

Of course, it requires the Celtics being willing to give Sanders the max or something close to it.

i would do a trade of Rondo and gerald wallace.
for
Brandon jennings, expiring, sanders/or ilyasova, and 2014 first. Ive always liked brandon jennings as a point gaurd, he kills the heat as well if any of you guys want look up the stats. He is a heat killer, and if he ever played in the playoffs besides the first round, with good core(after this year) he can be a top 8 point gaurd.

As would I. That would be a great trade for the Celts.
You essentially get a good young point guard AND good young center. Exactly what you need for a "rebuild."
Also, Ilyasova is a pretty good player as well.
