The Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets were not able to complete a reported trade centered around Omer Asik a month ago, but they haven’t necessarily given up trying. Asik, the Rockets’ disgruntled backup center, is back on the Celtics’ radar, with executives around the NBA believing team president of basketball operations Danny Ainge is intent on trading forward Jeff Green, according to a report. Ainge would love to deal Gerald Wallace along with Green in any deal, Sam Smith writes in his league-wide roundup on Bulls.com. It’s hard to figure any team taking on both of those cumbersome contracts, however. As usual, Asik’s name just keeps popping up in connection with the Celtics. “A nice exchange could be for Omer Asik, giving the Celtics a point guard/defensive center core [of Rajon Rondo and Asik] to move forward with, along with Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynk,” Smith writes. “And Houston could use Green as a stretch four scorer.” The reports and rumors keep coming from all angles, many of them contradictory. Smith, a respected, veteran scribe and author of the classic book, The Jordan Rules, seems to think the Celtics want to hold onto Rondo. That runs counter to a report this weekend, of course, that claimed the Celtics have put Rondo on the trade block. This doesn’t mean either report is wrong. It simply means that Rondo’s return has created even more options for Ainge heading into the meat of trade season.

If we can package Wallace for Green.. I'm all for it... Tank city here we go! Then draft a great SF, and try to go after Love...

Well we still have a few more weeks until the trade dead line, I'm just speculating.

I would love for us to move Green/Wallace, but knowing DM he'd ask for at least a draft pick in return.

I still maintain Morey doesn't want anything to do with Green's deal, much less Wallace's.

It might be possible that the Celtics get involved in a multiteam deal involving Asik and Green, I suppose.

Wallace's deal being dumped for anything of value would seem to require their draft pick this year though. I would like to see them keep it or use it in a deal for a young star.

You mean he's going to prove to us how much money hes making off us for the lackluster play every game?

Wiggins, Parker, Gordon, Saric, Hood, Young ... there are plenty of guys in the top 15+ of the draft who could fill in.

As a stop-gap for the rest of the season, you're probably asking for Francisco Garcia or Omri Casspi back as a warm body.
