I may have missed something, but I think most of the important pieces are included above.

I think we also have swap rights with Brooklyn for 2015. But I may be mistaken.

I was over on the Cavs blog and a majority of the posters seemed really upset by losing Zeller. They seen a lot of potential in him.

I know. Bummer they'll have to settle for LeBron James instead.

may not get James, may have to settle for someone like Ariza (who would still be a pretty nice pick up, but may not have been worth giving up Zeller, Karasev, and a 1st just to unload Jack).

Pretty sure we don't have anything in 2015 from the Nets. We have 2016 first round pick, and right to swap on 2017, and 2018 first round pick.

This was a great trade for the Celtics, but this isn't the end of the Celtics' offseason. More trades are coming.

I also don't think it's a forgone conclusion that LeBron is going to back to Cleveland. LeBron wants to play with Carmelo. He'll wait for Bosh and then make his choice.

This is correct, the Hawks have the right to swap in 2015. Probably the only reason we didn't get that swap too lol.

What that means, if there's any year to root earnestly for the Nets, next season will be it.

as i read it, nothing in 2015. but the celtics, i am happy to say, have brooklyn's 2016 draft pick completely to themselves.   the switch takes place in 2017.

ha, so this makes it even easier for you to justify getting a celebratory drink and toasting danny. 

edit: ooopppsss. bud celtic beat me to this. tp for him.

2015 - three first round picks, ours and the Clippers and maybe the 76ers
2016 - two first round picks, ours and the Nets
2017 - one first round pick, the better of ours or the Nets
2018 - two first round picks, ours and the Nets

Ya gotta love Danny!  He's our biggest asset.  Got the young tall center I wanted.  Made the most out of the trade Exception.  Got another 1st.  Need to keep Rondo and somehow get Love.

Paul Pierce is still giving back to this team!  Wasn't the trade exception part of the original PP deal to Brooklyn?

Yes, KG and Pierce trade.

Very pleased to be part of this forum!

Woke up to some good news today re: The Trade, I've always liked Zeller, he's not the greatest centre, but he's young, and this somewhat addresses our greatest deficiency. Obviously as I said, he's not going to revolutionise the club, but at least we finally have a pure centre that can play some offence, unlike Faverani! The draft pick is also a nice addition that we can flip or hopefully use soon. As for Marcus Thorton he's sort of developed into a list-clogger now, he had a lot of potential a few years ago, but hasn't found the consistency required nor developed anything outside of a very heavy reliance on scoring.

Where's that picture of D.A smiling?   How hasn't that been posted?
