  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Spencer Hawes is just terrible. He really is one of the worst defensive bigs in the NBA. I remember going to the Philly series and watching KG at age 48 or whatever he was just completely dominate him in every game. (And I had 3rd row seats opposite our bench so I could see EVERYTHING! ;p ).


The problem with this idea is that essentially we are giving up Bass- who is a very valuable commodity to a contender- for 2 years of Jason Richardson and 1 year of this Hawes scrub.
I mean it's a good trade to make us terrible, but if Hawes does show any signs of improvement he just walks into free agency. Only good thing I see is Richardson's injury and losing Bass and Lee's deals- we'll lose a few more games I guess.
It's not enough incentive to give up Bass for me.

I can't see Houston taking on Lee's deal for 3 years either- they want to re-sign Parsons and maybe Terrence Ross so they aren't going near Lee for 3 years at 5 million per year.

"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

No way Hou moves Asik for Bass and Lee.  They already let Lee just walk.  Why do they want him now?  And Bass is still an undersized PF that is a bench player on a good team.  Hou will get much more for Asik that Bass and Lee.

Both Houston and Orlando didn't feel Lee was a good piece to keep next to Howard. And Howard pretty much forced Bass out of town in Orlando. I don't think a trade like this happens with Houston.

Hearing HOU really likes Jeff Green in an Asik trade, but unlikely. Asik could be moved by Thurs. Also Waiters to CHI or PHI? Lotta chatter.
