I mean, Toronto is currently hovering around the 8th seed... DeMar DeRozan for the unprotected Brooklyn pick... who says no at this point?
Right, it makes complete sense for the Celts to trade a potential top 5 pick for half a season of Demar Derozan.
Why are you so eager to peddle that pick for a meager deal in every thread?
It's the Celtics' pick so it loses -10 points in value for Lar. 
JK, Lar, but it's okay to start turning the optimistic shades on!
Demar, Rudy Gay, and Marc Gasol are not anywhere close in value to a top 5 pick in this draft considering the hype Simmons, Ingram, Bender, Skal, and Jaylen are getting. If the Celtics trade the 16 BKN pick for a player of the level of those three listed, we will need to have a serious conversation about Ainge, haha.
I mean, I'd probably trade the pick for Marc Gasol age 31-35, even if he is already on the decline, just because I like Marc Gasol a lot and I think he'd be amazing in Brad's system. But I do not for a second think Memphis would consider that.
Rudy Gay is a resounding no thank you.
Yeah no thanks.
I was set on Gasol last year, when we had Rondo and Green, but on this team right now? Nope.
Memphis is struggling, because of floor spacing, and besides Conley or Gasol, who is the next to go scorer? He's also been a notoriously bad rebounder for his position and size. We're a team that can't grab the boards, so I don't know.
I like Gasol, but for the Nets pick? I'll pass any time of the day on that.

I like Gasol a lot too, and I'd consider it if he were a couple years younger, but adding Gasol to this team scares me. I stay away from the term treadmill a lot, but to me that would be the true definition of hitting the treadmill. We need to hit big, really big, on the BKN pick. Sure, we'd still have the 17 and 18 BKN pick to play with, and I'm pretty confident those will also be top 7-10 picks, but the '16 pick is looking like a sure thing for being top 10 at the worst. Considering the average age of the current roster, I'd rather see them hit a homerun with the pick by either drafting or trading for a superstar. I wanted Gasol in free agency somehow really badly because I think he is a perfect fit here, but for the BKN pick? Eh..I dunno.
Gay and Demar are definite no-no's. I don't think I'd even trade the DAL or our pick for them.
Completely agree.
I mean, what's the point? Do people seriously think Gasol would lead players like Conley or Durant here? Maybe. But you're willing to take that kind of calculated risk, instead of making a smart decision or drafting right, or trading for cost controlled young talent?
I would take DMC over Gasol, but maybe that's just me.
I think DMC improving his 3pt shot, and actually making them at a 41.2% clip is almost unbelievable.
Gasol also doesn't really get to the free throw line like that.
We need floor spacers, rebounders, scorers that can get to the free throw line, and uptempo offensive players.
