My tankapalooza 2.0 trade. Move Rondo+Green, get Mclemore+picks back.

[chambers]

Based on the speculation that Danny may decide to go REALLY young, now that Love is looking a lot less likely. Personally I'd rather keep Rondo and just try and get him to sign with other stars during the off season...But this is what i'd like too see if we end up sending him to Sacramento. I don't want Monroe if we're gonna stink, so i'll let him sign where he wants. I don't want Isiah Thomas either. This is a line up to secure a top 3 pick in 2015. The 2nd draft of what could be a 5 draft rebuild.

So, we move Rondo AND Jeff Green (who we don't need if Rondo is gone) for Mclemore or Stauskas (whichever one we prefer) and get 3 picks back.

Rondo + Josh Smith to SAC.
Sacto's line up now looks like:
Rondo,
Stauskas,
Gay,
Smith,
Cousins.

Then Green+Derrick Williams+ Celtics 2015 Clippers pick to Detroit. They take these two players because they shed Josh Smith's contract VERY early while getting good production back that is far cheaper and expiring sooner.
Pistons line up is now:

Jennings
Caldwell Pope
Green
Wiliams
Drummond

To Celtics:
 Ben Mclemore, Jason Thompson, 2015 Kings pick, 2016 Pistons pick, 2017 Kings pick+ filler

We run a line up of:

Smart
Mclemore
Young
Sully
Ed Davis (or some other young upside cheap free agent or D Leaguer.)

With Olynyk off the bench.

Our picks are now:
Our own 2015+Kings 2015 pick+Phily 2015 pick (if it conveys).
Our own 2016+Detroit 2016 pick+Brooklyn 2016 pick
Our own 2017 pick+ Brooklyn 2017 pick swap+ Kings 2017 pick.
Our own 2018+Brooklyn 2018

And now we find ourselves with a MONSTROUS haul of picks for Rondo and Jeff Green and a total of 10 guaranteed firsts through 2018 and possibly 11.
The value of the Detroit 2016 pick and the Kings 2015 pick would be huge. I'd also say that if Rondo went down, or Cousins went down, that Kings team would be up Doo-Doo creek and that pick would skyrocket.

We can then trade up in future drafts, or move these picks as more disgruntled stars come along and Smart and Mclemore develop.

If you asked the Kings for two first round picks if they could add Rondo and Smith to Gay and Cousins they 100% say yes.
If you ask the Pistons would they give up their 2016 first round pick to shed Josh Smith's deal AND get back Derrick Williams, I think they say yes. Remember they get the Clippers 2015 pick too.

idk, while I agree it will give us a lot of picks and a very very young roster...I think this will set us back for a while. I think Danny's plan is a semi rebuild, tank a season or two, and then retool to compete and contend again...I don't think anyone or him are patient enough to wait 5+ years just to be a contender.

With a lineup of Rondo, Stauskas, Gay, Smith, Cousins, those Kings picks won't be worth much.
