Idea #1:
TO BOS: Marvin Williams, future 2nd round pick
TO CHA: Jerebko, Zeller
Idea #1 got me thinking about...
Idea #2:
TO BOS: Jefferson, Williams
TO CHA: Lee, Jerebko, Zeller, Min 1st, two 2nds (non-PHI & preferably 2 of our least valued 2nd rounders)
Getting Big Al back would be a great move--considering we'd be trading 3 players who are either not getting enough minutes, or are not part of our long term future--for Jefferson who could come back from injury (out 6 weeks) and help the Celtics come playoff time. Depending on how good he plays we would likely consider signing him in the offseason (depending on our other roster moves)
After thinking about trade idea #2, I began to wonder if CHA would really consider moving Jefferson considering how effective he's been for them since he signed there. Also, would they be comfortable with both Zellers manning the C position?
The above thoughts led me to...
Trade Idea #3:
TO BOS: Jefferson, Williams, Price (waived or given no minutes)
TO CHA: Chandler, Jerebko, future 2nd rounder
TO PHO: Lee, Zeller, Min 1st, future 2nd rounder
Charlotte gets a good Center in Chandler who is a great rebounder and can run the pick and roll with Kemba. Trading for Tyson saves them the trouble of having to find another starting caliber C in free agency if Jefferson doesn't work out.
I would actually like to see Chandler in green, but I wouldn't want to make a long term commitment to him just yet. I'd prefer to go into the offseason with enough flexibility to trade for Cousins. If we can't get a significant upgrade over Jefferson via trade we should sign him.
Are we giving up enough? We have our 1st or the Dallas 1st that we could swap in place of the Min 1st IF NEED BE...
Thoughts???
