  You can use Sullinger with Wallace in a sign and trade for Monroe.

And Monroe would ride to Boston on a unicorn too.
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

Not worth it to get rid of Wallace.  No need to give up an asset to move Wallace until there is an actual player ready to sign with the Celtics and they need the space.
Not worth it?

If someone would give us 20 mil in expiring contracts for Bradley + Wallace, I'd consider it a major, major win for us.

In fact, I'd include Crowder's contract to sweeten the pot.  Crowder + Bradley + Wallace for Amare's expiring.  Sign me up.
agree that it's not worth it.  what's your point for dumping an asset for cap space that will not attract a top FA?  I not one of those people that spew the BS the FAs don't like Boston due to weather, taxes, etc? but this team is devoid of established talent.  what FA would come here to play with this roster? 

Prior to the Rondo deal I fully expected Danny to be active this offseason acquiring established talent with the assets he accumulated.  after the Rondo and Green deals, I don't think he'll start building up the talent level until 2016 when the young players (AB, Sully, KO, Smart, Young, Zeller, Crowder) have improved their games to be more attractive to other teams, he's added 2 rookies from a solid draft class (including a likely top 5 pick)  AND he has a war chest of picks in the 2016 draft to use as trade chips when other teams can better gauge their worth.

there's no need to move Wallace who'll be an expiring deal going into next year and if not traded, will come off the books in 2016 anyway.  the extra "bonus" to having him going into next season is that he provides that large contract needed to make deals for well-paid players.  takes a lot of players on rookie deals to trade for someone making around $15 mill whereas with Wallace, it takes him and maybe 2 players and still be able to provide value by adding picks.

LOL TP.

Monroe will be an unrestricted FA so for some reason we landed him some form of a trade is not out of the question.

 Oh he'll definitely look for a sign and trade opportunity. I'm not saying he'll want to come to Boston, but if he wanted to than we can try to dump Wallace by giving up Sullinger so they get something instead of nothing.

But yeah we probably ain't getting rid of Wallace.

The only way you get rid of Wallace is by trading someone greatly underpaid (likely due to rookie deal) or you give up picks.

Considering that we took on Wallace to that we could get more picks, this seems like it isn't likely part of Danny's plan. Also, Wallace's contract really doesn't matter for next year as we will likely be full of cheap rookies and guys on make-good one year deals like Turner is this season.
