Scroll down.  Celts would lose Green and Rondo but get Lakers 1st round pick, future first from Suns, and Alex Len.

I am NOT giving this any credence.  The guy has only 30 followers or so.  But interesting and NOTE THAT I SUGGESTED SOMETHING SIMILAR IN A PREVIOUS THREAD.

Yeah I already proved this is nonsense.  It's made up by some unemployed Celtic fan living in Mass who is trying to get more twitter followers.

I think his source is Croter.

Yeah actually I agree.  As much as it appears he's just a Celtic fan trolling for twitter followers... he deserves credit for creativity.

That imaginary trade would net Boston a haul for Rondo/Green.  It would free up enough cap space for the Lakers to add Melo/LeBron next to Kobe+Rondo.  Not exactly sure why the Suns would give up a 1st + Len just to net themselves Pau and Green, but... at least from the fanbases that matter (boston and LA), it's a pretty clever fake-rumor for baiting twitter followers.

With all the unfulfilled anticipation of excitement, I am giddy reading about this unsubstantated and subsequently discredited rumor.  Thanks for the post!

I'm not sure 5 first-rounders would be enough to get me to give L.A. that much help.

From the perspective of a Cs fan, the greatest thing about the Lakers' current situation is that in a couple years Kobe will either be done or on his last leg, and they'll have no other talent to attract free agents (besides maybe their 2014 first-round pick). It would be great if the Cs could be a contender while the Lakers weren't (for once).

The sound of his plans unravelling while he hunts down larbrd33s address.

Cool ideas by stoltz though, hopefully some Celtics/Lakers interns pass on the ideas to Ainge with his coffee/toilet paper.
"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.
