Celtics trade: Wallace, Green, Bass, Bradley, and maybe a pick other than ours this year
To Bobcats
For: Ben Gordon, Ramon Sessions, Cody Zeller and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Bobcats are ready to win now.  They are currently the 8th seed and ready to get destroyed in the opening round of the playoffs.   Kidd-Gilchrist and Zeller are both high ceiling prospects, but are not putting up big numbers this year and I'm sure Charlotte is sick of stock piling talent without winning.  Their key players this season (Big Al, Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson) need some help.  They'd be getting 4 veterans that want to win.  Wallace's contract is negative value, but if there was one team that might take him, it could be Charlotte where he spent his glory days.

We get some expiring deals and two prospects to build with. 

Is this realistic?  Would Kidd-Gilchrist and/or Zeller be available?  Would this be good for both teams?  Go ahead, tear it apart...

If the Bobcats are dumb enough, sure.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I've been proposing Bobcats trade ideas for a while.  Ben Gordon and Ramon Sessions equal 18 mil in expiring contracts.

One idea I had was Rondo + Wallace + Bass (28 mil) going to the bobcats for Gordon + Sessions (expiring) + MKG, Biyombo and a pick.

Why for Bobcats?  They build the new Charlotte Hornets around Big Al And Rondo

Why for Boston:  Free up 21 mil for maximum flexibility, maximize our own draft pick by tanking, and get a few assets to go towards our 3-5 year rebuild plan.

If we traded Rondo (and I really don't want to see him go) I would want Walker back as well.

Why spend your time making boring trades that won't work when you can make trades like this that also won't work?
