Is not trading the right move?

Yes, if no star is available.
Yes, because this team still needs to figure things out.
Yes, because we want to stay flexible this offseason.
No, make a move as we are close to being a ECF contender.
No, we have to many assets and expirings. To do nothing hurts.

The Celtics have 9 rookie scale deals, and too many picks. I think a larger deal will likely happen in summer (not this season), but at some point Ainge is going to have to make a consolidation deal.

Problem is: other GMs know this, and the longer he waits, the more it's going to hurt Ainge's leverage.
How does that actually work? GMs have their eyes on guys and as soon as they see value in the deal they pull the trigger. Are they sitting there thinking "well danny needs to move that guy (or the other guy who is competing for minutes) so lets just wait. They run the risk of losing their guy! Just not sure the leverage is as important as you think.

I agree.  In fact our guys seem to be improving and increasing their value as the season goes on.

I think a trade could happen if the right deal comes up.  So much depends on who becomes available.

Management at some point has to take chances on players sitting on another teams bench..

I'm not saying trade a brooklyn pick for a roll of the dice. Or take on a bloated contract.
 I'm saying, scouts need to identify players that are worth a shot in the dark. Maybe you get lucky finding a Whiteside type player..
