Trade for the future of the celtics

[Hawkeye199]

 Boston gives up avery bradley,olynyk,brookline 2016,boston 2016,clippers pick
Boston gets:  giannis antetokounmpo and john henson

Milwaukee gets: avery bradley,olynyk,brookline 2016,boston 2016,clippers pick
Milwaukee gives up: giannis antetokounmpo and john henson


Why milwaukee
avery bradley gives them a defensive boost they could use in between parker and knight. olynyk becomes a great prospect coming off the bench. They could resign knight or a pg in the off-season and have 3 draft picks to add to their franchise.


why boston
well first of all the back court would be amazing with 2 twenty year olds in smart and giannis antetokounmpo. smart i think is the real deal. in a year or two he is going to be a star. his offense has been improving this year so far.  antetokounmpo has been steadily improving recently going on an amazing hot streak. This 6 11 sg is the perfect person to start building around.  we can give henson and cellar strong minuates and trade them in the offseason for whatever.
We can trade rondo and jeff green and tank for towns.

we would get a starting line up of
smart
antetokounmpo

sully
Towns

That is a really really young team. we would have young  and could sign jimmy butler and others in the offseason with all that cap space. I know the picks seem like a lot but I think in 2016 with a team like this we would make the playoff's in the weak east. yes we would give up a Brooklyn pick but antetokounmpo is a proven guy and whoever we would draft would just be a risk.They say the antetolounmpo looks ike he could be the next paul george. I think it is a risk that the celtics should take. we would have picks we received from whatever rondo and green trade. we could still trade bass,turner and thornton for picks. honestly we still keep most of our picks and give bradley stevens a real team to coach

That team, while having a great future, would still be one of the worst teams in basketball that season.  I'm not giving up two unprotected first rounders (especially when the Nets could def be in the lotto) for Giannis.  I like the guy's upside, but that is giving up too much for him.

[sofutomygaha]

this is a straight up fantasy trade, bro

[BleedGreen1989]

So we give up Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, and THREE first round picks?

Since when did Giannis become a superstar?

Antetokounmpo seems entrenched as a starter in Milwaukee and has been fantastic of late, averaging 17.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in his last four games. His shooting has been variable though, twice converting at over 72 percent and twice at just over 36 percent in those four games, but the upside negates the concern over the consistency and the Greek Freak should be rostered in most formats.


marcus smart would average 12ppg
giannis antetokounmpo  15ppg
jimmy butler 21ppg
sully 16 ppg
towns 10ppg
 That is 74 points from the starting line up that is normal for a line up.

celtics current starting line up
rondo 8ppg
bradley 13ppg
green 20ppg
sully 16ppg
zellar 8.5

so my idea celtics line up would score more and be better defensively. so wouldn't that make us playoff contenders?

we would need 30 points from the bench where zellar and young are. we still would have money to sign some pretty good players off the bench. defensively the starting line up is amazing. smart,butler and towns are known for being amazing defenders. Antetokounmpo  is an above average defender who could be an amazing one. where sully would be the weakest defender but still and slightly above average defender.

[Who]

Need to put an All-Star on the table to get Milwaukee to even consider giving up on Giannis at this point in time. He is showing too much potential to give up on him for anything else.

Brookline sounds like a really tough place
