Ryan Anderson (two trade ideas)

[CsBanner18]

I know there have been threads made involving the same teams/players, but this idea is slightly different.

The Pelicans are likely going to trade Ryan Anderson. I think they'd be wise to get back a YOUNG wing player in any Anderson deal.

The Suns can offer Morris & sweeten the deal w/ a wing player like Archie Goodwin. For some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pelicans prefer to keep their cap space available for free agents rather than compromising it to get Markieff Morris.

Don't sleep on the Rockets as potential suitors either. They can offer the Pelicans Terrence Jones (expiring) & KJ McDaniels. It's harder for them to match salaries without compromising needed veteran play (Marcus Thornton & Jason Terry)--unless they include Montiejunas, Dekker, or Harrell in the deal to match salaries. They'd likely want a 3rd team to help them facilitate Anderson to Houston (Celtics-Jerebko?)

Teams like Washington (can offer Oubre, Anderson, Blair), Orlando (Nicholson, Founier, Smith), & Milwaukee (Vaughn & Mayo) could also be competition.

Heres my 3 team idea:

To Celtics: Ryan Anderson, 2016 WAS 1st (protected top 10)

To Pelicans: Jerebko, Young, Blair

To Wizards: Zeller, 2nd round pick (one of our less favorable 2nd rounders)


Why for the Celtics?

Celtics get Anderson to bolster our shooting. We give up James Young who is currently making strides to become a good role player in the NBA. We get another 1st rounder from the Wizards.

Why for the Pelicans?

They get two players who they'd likely choose to keep beyond this season (Jerebko & Young) for Anderson who's on an expiring contract. They could use a wing player like James Young for the future.

Why for the Wizards

They get Zeller to back up Gortat. They get a 2nd round pick.

--------------–--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or how about we leave out the Wizards:

To Celtics: Anderson

To Pelicans: Jerebko, Young, & two NON-PHILLY 2nds


Could this get it done?

I know there are people who are going to say we're giving up too much (Young) but that's the price you pay for a good shooter like Anderson even on an expiring. We have so many picks, that it'd be easy for us to replace James Young.

Obviously, Ainge only does either of these trades if he would like to sign Anderson long term and thinks we'd have a legit shot at retaining him.


Thoughts???

Second trade more likely. I'd say Zeller, Jerebko, and one of either Young or the Dallas pick (but not both) for Anderson is more doable, however.

To BOS: Jerebko, Zeller and the Minny First/seconds (its probably gonna be 2 seconds instead)

To NO: Anderson

You might have to sweeten the pot with the Memphis pick instead of the conditional Minny pick but I'd still do it. Anderson would fit great in our system as a shooter and I dont wanna give up on Young.

Why BOS: Consolidates roster space/tightens rotations. Gives us a 27 year old (Same age as IT and ET) great shooter and SF off the bench. Still an expiring contract so we have flexibility.

Why NO: They get draft picks and expiring contracts. Zeller gives them a big that can run and Jerebko (theoretically) gives them a replacement shooter. On the flip side, if they really do suck this bad this year then giving up Anderson could help them tank.

Salaries essentially match up too.

Kelly Olynyk is our Ryan Anderson.

Kelly Olynyk is our Ryan Anderson.

Yeah, and I get that he isn't as consistent yet, but seems quite a bit more versatile. I don't know that Anderson fits within our defense very well. I suppose I would take him on the [super] cheap, but not a huge fan.

I like Kelly. His game is growing and my confidence in his ability to make shots is growing too. However, like you said he isn't consistent yet.  Anderson is consistent. Not to mention, Olynyk can't play every minute of the game. Having two similar players would ensure that the Celtics play alll 48 minutes with the same approach.

The only reason I didn't include Zeller in the 2nd proposal was because the Pelicans already have enough bigs. Davis, Asik, Ajinca, Cunningham, Jerebko, Perkins would be enough. If they want to take Zeller too I'd be all for it

Taking out James Young from the proposal IMO might give us a disadvantage to land Anderson. The Pelicans I'm sure would love to receive some long term talent (preferably a wing player) back in the trade. Young & the Min 1st--gives N.O more incentive to make the trade

So then if you're Ainge you start with my offer but have to think if NO wants Young as well

[SHAQATTACK]

Oh yeah ....

We need him bad
