Detroit had a very dissapointing season last year and one of the biggest issues was to many big men in their starting line-up.
While Drummond is the one big man they wont loose I think that we might have the assets to get them.

I was thinking something like:

To Detroit:
Rajon Rondo
Jeff Green
Philadelphia 1st round pick 2015
Clippers 1st round pick 2015
Brooklyn 1st round pick 2016

To Boston:
Andre Drummond
Brandon Jennings

Detroit looses their best player, but a starting line-up of:
Rajon Rondo
Caldwell Pope
Jeff Green
Josh Smith
Greg Monroe
would in my opinion be a top-6 team easily in the east and they off-load Brandon Jennings while obtaining draft picks

Did Stan Van Gundy make disparaging comments about Rondo in the past?

I can't remember what SVG said but I thought it was negative on Rondo.

Edit: This was it. Not so bad really.

 
Quote
   "I said this: John Wall is a talented guy, a very good player. I don't think he's good enough that you can build a franchise around him," Van Gundy said [...] "I don't think he can be your best player, certainly not clearly your best player. You need one guy better than him or a couple of guys at his talent level for them to win.

    "To me, that's not a negative. I didn't say it as a negative. I think some people took it that way. I just don't see John Wall as a franchise player because ? a lot like Rajon Rondo; I don't see him as a franchise player even though he's an All-Star ? he's not a good enough shooter yet and he's not a reliable go-to scorer.

    "In the NBA, your franchise guy has got to be a guy you can put the ball in his hands late in the game and he can get you a basket. I don't see that from John Wall at this point in his career. Maybe it will develop, but I don't see it."

Drummond is all but untouchable.  Any scenario of the Celtics getting him is a pipe dream.

A deal built around Rond0+Green for Drummund+Jennings seems reasonable but only if Detroit decides to building around Smith and Monroe instead of Drummund.  I would not do this if I was Detroit but who knows.

I think something (starting point, not full trade) where Rondo goes to Detroit, Smith to Sac, and McLemore+... back to Boston (maybe Jennings too) seems more plausible.

So a couple things

1. That Philly pick will almost definitely become two second rounders.

2. Drummond is pretty much untouchable as others have said, unless the offer is a top 5 player.

3. The Clippers pick has little value being a late first rounder, you'd need to include Smart and Young plus multiple Brooklyn picks to get Detroit to even listen.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

I hate to say it, but you're right.

Maybe if you offer Sullinger, Olynyk, Smart, Young, and multiple firsts including both Brooklyn picks....
