 I went on read some articles on bleacher report and on espn. neither of these to guys are on the trading block but have been said are possibilities from espn anaylists.
The two stars basketball analyst are hinting are available are

derrick favors
a 23 year old defensive star. he is a pf. he is a rim protector and he is signed long term.
2014-15 Season
PPG   RPG   BLKPG   PER
15.4   8.4   1.5   22.17
he has a shooting percentage of .546 to sully's .458
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=oaceke8

we send utah our brooklyn pick 2016

two espn analysts suggested the celtics go after favors
Chris Forsberg and Nick Borges

Chris Forsberg said this
Resetting expectations for Celtics
"If the Celtics want to utilize potential cap space this summer, they won't want holds muddying up their books and that, in part, might encourage them to utilize the $12.9 million exception from the Rondo deal to fetch talent soon. I love the Favors suggestion if for this reason only: Boston's exception is just enough to absorb his $12.95 million contract (utilizing the $100,000 buffer on trades) and wouldn't that be just like the Celtics to set themselves up for a move like that? ... The greater point here is that Boston still has the potential to maneuver this season and maybe offer a glimpse of where they are headed. Take a deep breath, this might only be the start of the maneuvering with an eye toward the future."



the other player available is eric Bledsoe
 trade idea
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=osv54zo

we would send them the clippers pick as well

this is hinted by  an article on bleacher report
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2300743-nba-insider-players-teams-poised-to-move-as-nbas-trade-season-kicks-off




So what do you guys think? I think the celtics need one star to give the celtics a shot at big free agents
so which one would you rather have, bledsoe or favors? Maybe both?

If we we waited until like the final day of the trade deadline and  took out the bench like bass,wright,nelson and thornton. I could see the celtics missing the playoff's with both players. If we miss the playoff's then we have a shot at the lottery. say we get like the 9th or tenth pick we could trade up in the draft with 1st rounders like clevland,dallas,brooklyn 2018,boston 2016,whatever we get from trading away veterans,brooklyn 2017 option to switch pick.  I think we could trade up. would a team with a starting line up of
bledsoe
smart
??? big free agent signing
favors
lottery pick
with a bench of bradley,olynyk,young,turner be enticing to join.
we would have the money to offer a good free agent max money. It might be enough to attract a big name.

I'm just not sure why Utah would trade Favors.

*CB Miami Heat*
Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

This.

From whom's benefit would they trade Favors?  To accomodate Kanter?  Hell no, he's the weak link in their big rotation and he's a RFA at the end of this season.  Gobert?  He's an intriguing prospect, but he's far from being able to take over the full time center position right now.

Favors is their best big man by a mile and it's not even close.

Exactly they aren't trading Favors unless they are overwhelmed and that package is not.  As for Bledsoe being available because Bleacher Report says so?  I don't agree with that.  Plus that package would get you laughed at.

because cb wants them to.

I could see a Sully+future 1st (maybe clips pick) for Favors swap.


Sully and Gobert are a good pairing for Utah


KO and Favors are a good pairsing for the Cs
Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

Gobert and Favors are still signed for 3 and 4 more years at reasonable money, with Gobert on his rookie deal and Favors at 12 mil/per year. Utah has absolutely no reason to trade either, especially for a guy (Sullinger) whose contract is up next year. Utah is tired of rebuilding and they want to keep their young guys and see what happens. Resetting the rebuild by trading players under long-term contract for picks would accomplish nothing for them.
