What do you think PG13 would cost if Bird did agree to trade him?

[Monkhouse]

Jaylen Brown+ one of the Nets pick, Rozier, Jerebko, as a good starting point?

[Androslav]

That deal would only be consumed in the offseason.
By then, playoff performance will have a lot to do with players market value.

[oldtype]

Everything we have?

I'm increasingly turned off by the idea of trading for Butler or George.  Either of these guys would cost Brooklyn pick(s) and wouldn't make us good enough to be Golden State anyway.  I'd much rather just put out the best team we can while keeping our best assets and then wait for one of the picks to break out as a superstar.

That is what I think too.

PG13 isn't going anywhere, and superstars rarely ever get traded at the trade deadline.

This guy suggests trading Brown plus both Nets picks.

That Nets pick has to be this year.

This is probably the Butler trade as well.

We have a really good shot at getting Fultz or Ball. I'd rather have Fultz and Jaylen than PG-13.

I'm in the Cousins or bust camp.

I think if anything, GSW has shown that they cannot guard Cousins down low. I think eventually Kings will trade DMC. Resigning DMC gives them more leverage, and more room to bargain for more. 2 Nets pick, and Jaylen for George is quite an overpay... If you look at the history of NBA superstar trades, generally players like Melo, Love, and CP3 were traded FOR far less.

You're talking about 3 top 5 picks for PG13. Plus PG13 is a one year rental. He would probably re-sign with us, but that is a costly assumption to make.

Not going to happen, and Ainge rarely ever loses trades where it seems like he gives up a lot of assets.

I agreed with the guy who wrote that it would cost too much for PG13, considering he's a one year rental.

The people who think trading away Jaylen and both of our Nets picks would be tough to stomach. Technically.. You could configure that the trade made would be Paul Pierce for Paul George, a trade that Ainge infamously tried to make a while ago.

I always hoped of a day we could form a big 3 of IT, George, and DMC.

If I thought it would take both Nets picks plus Brown, I would probably want to get a few lower picks or young players to help fill bottom of the roster.

Maybe get their 2017 pick?  I don't know.  I want PG, but giving up three straight high lottery picks it tough.

Of course, could just draft a guard in 2017 and hope for this guy in 2018: http://www.nbadraft.net/players/michael-porter

Thing is Bird knows Ainge, and Ainge knows Bird.

They both know they aren't going to overpay, and they aren't going to budge unless either parties benefit from it.

[libermaniac]

I'd like to see a statistical analysis of the odds of a top 5 pick becoming a better player than Paul George.  Then, multiply that by 3.  It seems to me that giving away 3 top 5 players would be 100% foolish.

REPORT: #Celtics continue to still show interest in both Jimmy Butler & Paul George, according Adrian Wojnarowski.

This is from a twitter account called CelticsDirect, not sure how 100% accurate it is.

But PG13 would be an absolute perfect fit on this team.

The amazing thing is some of these website reports are accurate. For example, Metro reported Okafor was seen at Logan Airport on Tuesday. Then some obscure tweeter said he saw Okafor at a seafood restaurant in Boston. Sure enough, Okafor did go to Boston ahead of the Sixers for the game. Why he is in Boston has raised a few questions.

As for PG13, I don't think Larry would trade him, except maybe for a Godfather offer. I doubt Ainge will give up those Nets assets for George or Butler. I'll be surprised.

If i was bird i would be ok with bradley brown and fultz

I would deal Nets17 for Cousins in a minute. Amazing how problem players on losing teams become model citizens on winning teams. The Yankees always made out like bandits trading for those types.

If Danny is intent on keeping nets17, with guards as top draft picks, why is he so unwilling to trade Rozier, who is nothing more than an bench player at this point? Perhaps because he is looking for a guy who isn't a FA next year, and who is cheap. Okafor? I wouldn't count him out at this point. Rozier might be a fit for Philly. Just a hunch, in case nothing more pans out as the deadline approaches. Okafor may be in Boston for a reason. He is cheap.
