I think our team is on  lock right now.  I'd trade Amir and Crowder plus all our picks for a legit center that's about it.  That's the jist I get from watching this team.  Might trade KO too in the right deal but there aren't many players on this team I want to trade.

Crowder
Amir
Bentil
jackson
KO possibly

That's my trade bait list right now.  Jerebko, Hunter and Mickey aren't absolute keepers either but I'd rather keep them as far as trade value and guys who can fill roles.  Neither is James Young but not sure what he even has as trade value.

I don't like how fans will usually trade whoever in rumored deals.  We are in control of who we want to trade here.   I'd rather come from a position of strength in that regard.

Ainge always says no one is untradeable and I agree but if you look at his track record there are guys he won't trade.

Who no one? lol.  I just hope we are patient with our young players. I maybe should have titled this the trade bait thread, but honestly I don't like trading anyone. I like getting players though.  I'm backwards for forums I know. 

the media is silly, destroys players values, confidence etc.  They don't know how to develop talent.  It's not about fooling teams either. I really just like all our players and want to get the best out of them.

Okay Walker I got you. You want no one out of here, but you would like to keep anyone. I hope DA is not reading this. It will have him messed up for days, and we might miss out on everyone.

That thought process actually works better than you think if it's real.  There are some celtics i have thought we were better without over the years,  but most of our guys now have value to us in some way.

DA himself has said he doesn't like trading anyone either.  He doesn't go out there trying to trade players or with that intent overly. He does try to get players or move players to better situations but isn't stupid about it.   

I don't think Amir is going to be moved. Crowder might be. Plus some of our young g uys and picks although not sure how I feel about it.

I'm not saying I wouldn't make trades either. I'd rather trade Amir in ways than some of our young guys.  He is a vet and a good one with an expiring deal and might have value that way.  I just am not sure I see it.  I think he sounds like he is too locked in with this team.

The rookies aren't worth anything.

I think Jackson and Bentil have some value to us where we could end up moving someone else.  I'd rather trade them though.  Jackson not so sure.  He looks good at times. Other times not so sure.  Both at best are fairly average roleplayers but decent ones.

Yabusele, Rozier, Mickey and guys like that I'd rather keep right now.  I think all of them could be really good roleplayers sooner rather than later.
