Boston Out: Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley
Boston in: Gordon Hayward, A, beidrans, Utah 2014 1st round pick
(Works in trade machine)
Why for the Celtics? Stevens coached Heyward and hopefully that will get him to sign longterm. Celtics get another 1st round lottery pick and from a talent perspective remain just as bad short term but will get better long term with another lottery pick. Celtics also move over a million under salary cap. Jazz are in brutal western conference and will find it difficult to ever make it out of the mid lottery.
Why for Jazz? They get a big name marketable player in Rondo in a franchise that hasn't had that since Deron Williams. Avery Bradley and Rondo will have continuity with each other and do well in the Jazz system. Rondo will help the development of Kanter and Favors.
