Would you trade Sullinger to Detroit for Monroe or Drummond?

[LooseCannon]

This question is based on a few premises.  It is now mid-season.  Kelly Olynyk has satisfied you that he can play at least a tolerable level of defense in the NBA and will be best suited to playing as a stretch four.  Jared Sullinger has shown no signs of being negatively affected by his back.  The Pistons have determined that playing Drummond and Monroe on the floor is a bad idea because of floor spacing and are looking to deal one for a player who is a better fit.

In this scenario, the Celtics have two young power forwards who look like they can be above-average starters at the position (let's say it feels like a 50-50 case of who you think will be better, but both seem good to you), while the Pistons have two young centers.

If Detroit came around asking if the Celtics would like to do a deal so each team has a young power forward and a young center as their frontcourt of the future, would you be interested in a deal?  Would you ask for a draft pick?  Would you be willing to give one up?

Celtics would have to trade a lot more for either of these players.

Sully for either Monroe or Drummond in a heartbeat

[aingeforthree]

I'd give up Sullinger + the Doc Rivers 1st round pick for Drummond

[jambr380]

Is this with or w/o Rondo included? If Sullinger gets to the point where he has as much value as Monroe/Drummond, I will be jumping for joy.

i'd do that trade every day of the year!!!

Celtics would have to trade a lot more for either of these players.

So, the follow-up questions are: how much more would the Celtics have to trade and how much more would you be willing to see the Celtics give up?

I'd be willing to give up one first rounder + the expiring Humphries contract

Trade Sullinger for Monroe or Drummond in a heart beat but they would never do it and would hang up laughing at this proposal.

drummond and monroe are ridiculously overrated on here


sullinger is much better than both players. its easy to rebound and score when your team is the detroit pistons.

Sully, Humphries and Nets 1st rounder possibly a future 1st for MONROE!!!!

I'd take Monroes 16ppg 10 rpg any day of the week. We need a Center to protect the hoop. Sully, KO, Humph and Bass aren't those guys. We have 3 rebounding PFs and one stretch PF, so why not sacrifice young injury prone Sully to grab an all around good center who is still pretty young in Monroe

What? How have you reached that conclusion?

This is patently silly.
