Trade Idea: Bradley and #3 for Parker and #10?

[Ilikesports17]

I said yes but it's interesting seeing the people on Celticsblog that are fixated on defense and refuse to acknowledge the fact we have a scoring problem. I personally like 2 way players but how many teams are giving those up?

For real. I don't know how you could watch all of last year and the playoffs and not see how badly we need another scorer, which is exactly what Parker is. He can also improve on his three point shot, and as a full-time PF, which he is, it's not exactly needed as much as it is at the 3.

The idea that (fill in the name of the young player I don't like here) can never improve is such a common and lazy one here.

Indeed, Parker's going to get better, too. And he's not going to get traded for Avery Bradley and a draft choice. The Bucks aren't that dumb.

Yeah, that's the thing. If anyone is going to say "no" it's more than likely Milwaukee, not Boston.

Let me preface this by saying I agree. I just dont see Milwaukee trading Parker at all.

That said, Milwaukee should have a tremendous amount of interest in acquiring either Avery Bradley or Isaiah Thomas without losing Kris Middleton.

Avery Bradley is arguably the best point guard defender in the NBA right now. He is also a solid shooter and plays best off ball.

Avery and IT would both add shooting to a shooting starved Bucks lineup and allow GA to run the point.

I like this. I think it makes sense for both teams. Parker is a high-value player, but the Bucks are sitting pretty at the forward spots with Middleton and Giannis. They need quality guards.

I think we would have to do Bradley and #3 for Parker for them to bite, though. No #10. People forget that Parker is only 21!!

Bucks draft Dunn with #3.

Boston: Thomas-Smart-Crowder-Parker-TBA (Whiteside?)
Milwaukee: Dunn-Bradley-Giannis-Middleton-Monroe

Seems highly favorable for both teams.

I would not trade AB for #10 straight up, and I would not trade #3 for Parker straight up, so no.  (Although it's close to me for #3 and Parker, so I wouldn't kick and scream were that to happen.)

Parker played well in the second half of last season.  After the all star game, he averaged 18.9 points on .498 shooting, shot 32% on 1 3 per game, averaged 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. 

I would definately do this trade and love the idea of landing Poetl too.

TP. I don't know where or how to find these kinds of stats for parts of the season.

Parker is a natural scorer which we need.  He was struggling in Milwaukee becuase he was dealing with his knee injury and was an awkward fit next to Giannis.  They figured things out in the second half though.  I suspect they would like to keep him, but if they fall in love with Dunn, which a lot of teams supposedly are, maybe they would move him.  He's weak defensively, but playing with guys like Smart and Crowder would help him.

IT Rozier
Smart Rozier
Crowder Turner
Parker Olynyk
AJ Poetl

I could live with that if we can't land a top free agent.

Please, explain to me how Jabari Parker is a natural scorer and Avery Bradley is not ? In which ways is he a better scorer?

He can dribble the ball on penetration drives and iso's more than three times without hitting it off his leg and turning it over.  That's one way that he's a more competent scorer than Bradley. I honestly don't see how this is even an argument...

Yup, he's a better offensive player than Bradley in every way other than three point shooting and I would expect him to improve in that area.  He can score from all over: the perimeter, mid range, posting up, and driving.  There's a reason his offensive game was compared to Carmelo and Pierce when he was coming out of college.

Yes I'd do that trade.
Grab Deytona Davis at 10.
IT,
Smart,
Crowder
Parker
Amir

Turner, Oly, Davis, JJ off the bench

My conservation is shooting, Not a lot of spacing here but good talent.
