Green and Lee for Bynum (trade idea)

[CoachBo]

I think attempting to move Wallace, Lee, or even Bass for Bynum, even at the expense of a heavily protected future 1st round pick would be a move worth considering. Especially if it involves Wallace and Lee.

(Wallace+Lee for Bynum+Henry Sims works BTW)

But I think Jeff Green holds more value to us than just a salary dump at this point. Not a lot of viable starting 3's in the league, and Green has shown the ability to at the least be that.

Agreed on all points

Right.

Wallace, Lee or Bass? Sure.

Green? Absolutely not.

Cleveland signed their way into this mess and they have zero leverage. They deserve nothing of ongoing value to unload Bynum.

Hear, hear.

Teams who sign injury-prone headcases (who missed the entire previous season) for $12 MILLION A YEAR(!) aren't in any position to ask for, or get, anything like a first-round pick.

You do realize Cleveland only guaranteed Bynum $6m of that $12m, right?  Next year is fully non-guaranteed.

If the C's we're to trade for him they could cut him immediately and not owe him another dime.  The C's could cut quite a bit of salary from their books for this season and next.  That is usually worth a 1st round pick.

And I think we've established at this point that Ainge is trying to rebuild, not solely clear salary space.

People need to move on past the tanking fantasy. It clearly isn't going to happen in Boston.

You make a Bynum move for two reasons - if you think he still wants to play, and if he can be acquired without moving valuable assets.

There is simply NO way I send Green and a pick to Cleveland for the right to cut a guy. None whatsoever. It would be madness.

Agreed. I am pro-collect future assets, even if it costs us wins this season. Green is an asset. Bynum? It isn't clear that he is an asset for the future. The dude has had attitude problems for a long time now and he is also physically hobbled. Cap space isn't much of an asset with the guys worth chasing locked up. I'm not interested in handing out a Joe Johnson or Rudy Gay type contract.
