Trade Speculation / Discussion Thread

[Opalmerr]

Rondo, Bradley, Green, Sullinger and Melo along with Lee are the core moving forward. None will be traded unles a better player comes in return. Not likely to happen just now because the C's are severely limited in terms of attractive additional trade chips.

[Superdude]

On a Championship team no way both are starters. Let's be reasonable.

Because you know their potentials? Stop acting like this is 2k13 and only you know everyone's ratings.

Bradley is 22 and can already lock down premier scorers and has shown he can shoot the 3.
Sullinger is 20 and is the best rebounder on our team.

Why don't you be reasonable for once?

I'm not entirely sold that Lee, Green and even Rondo are in our long term goals. Rondo has the most potential to be there, but I'm not sold on the other two.

Hoopsworld's Steven Kyler discusses a possible 3-way trade w/ Pierce going to Memphis, Gay to Toronto & Ed Davis...
and Jose Calderon coming to Boston:

RT @stevekylerNBA Rudy Gay rumors... although I know Memphis has limited interest in Paul Pierce, that is the situation to watch. Boston would flip Rudy Gay.

@stevekylerNBA Toronto has the assets Boston would want if they are blowing up the older core... Calderon replaces Rondo, Davis youth

@stevekylerNBA I do not think Memphis would do a Paul Pierce deal without more in the package for them and assurances from Paul on fit

@stevekylerNBA I don't think Boston really wants to trade Paul Pierce, but may have no other viable options for real change in the team

I think they can be starters on a championship team, just not being "the guy." I think you could win a championship with Bradley or Sullinger being your 4th best possibly 3rd best starter depending on how much they grow and how good the top 2 players are.

reasonable would be not throwing out unprovable ridiculous statements like that. Neither will be go to scorers but the other things they have to offer with continued development are very much potentially starter material even on a contending team.

If we are looking at JJ any chance we grab Nelson ? Orlando might try and get rid of his contract

I like this trade Calderon is expiring and Davis is a very solid player for 23 if we could some how ship out bass for a decent sf this might be the ideal trade to stay some what competitive.

awful if that happens. This team has a better shot at winning with Pierce on the roster and relying on a rotation at PG than with a legit PG and without Pierce.
