Clippers Inquire about KG/Made an Offer

[Mishmin]

If we didn't make that deal and kept PP and KG, we'd be better offensively for this year, yes. But probably still more or less a first round knock out.

The formerly mentioned new starting five could struggle to find offense, but that would push certain guys to step up that would really need to. (Green/Bradley/Bledsoe)

We're still not winning a title this year, so what are we really talking about? Got to look down the road on this one.

Sad to think about dealing them both, but x4.

[Pootamis91]

hopefully this has some legs. Building a young group around Bledsoe,Bradley,Sullinger sounds good right about now

[Corey]

Definitely agree with above. We're not winning jack the next two years as is.

Make as many moves as possible to set yourself up for the future.

I'd be able to deal with Garnett leaving, but Pierce would be extremely tough to see go. I understand that it could help improve the team in the long run but still. Gotta love the Truth.

[Pootamis91]

well if Garnett and Pierce are dealt it would free up the cash to sign Al Jefferson in the off season

Opposite for me.

Only if you are getting back a lot of expiring which we will not.

Not so fast.

Rondo $12,000,000
Jordan $10,986,550
Green $8,700,000
Butler $8,000,000
Bass $6,750,000
Lee $5,225,000
Terry $5,225,000
Bradley $2,511,432
Bledsoe $2,626,473
Melo $1,311,240
Sully $1,365,720

~$64.7M. No expiring contracts after this season. After 2013/14, only Butler expires. And then contract options start popping up

Rondo or Bledsoe/filler would have to go to sign Al

[EEasyA]

here is a deal from the Clippers:

Jordan, Bledsoe, Butler, Odom for KG and PP

I would do that deal, put the clips have too add a first round pick minus odom or Butler. Then trade Rondo, Sullinger for Cousins and tyeke . Watch out. Now you have a great defensive team

[celticsman2009]

Opposite for me.

Do you dislike Paul?

[CubsBullsBucs]

what about trading bradley, pick(s) and a filler for Al Jefferson??

And then sign AI.

Lol i know it wont happen but

Iverson-Terry-Pierce-Garnett-Jefferson

thats a title contender!! then next year re sign big Al, trade away terry for prospects, and let KG and PP retire as Celtics.

[bagwell368]

Do you dislike Paul?

I'm more neutral on PP then most here. Also, decline hits shorter players harder. KG is an all time great (top 14) all time with a unique skill set, and he seems to be more of a mentor/leader than PP.
