Title: Will KG be traded this week?
Post by: TripleOT on February 18, 2013, 02:19:40 AM
I think he's going to the Clippers for Bledsoe and Jordan, possibly with Jordan re-routed to ATL and Josh Smith coming to Boston.

Clippers management have categorically said that Bledsoe isn't included in a deal for KG.

Forget about bledsoe.

Bledsoe doesn't make any sense to me, either because he has been starting and playing and Paul's injury history.

For a limited center and a guard who can't shoot?

No.

If so, Ainge should be fired.

well, if we gonna trade kg and pierce, something like thi would be very, very, very nice:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=b3n6mdd

ESPN trade machine does't work but if Danny can pull something like this, we would be lock and loaded for the future.

Did't save it, trade machine really doesent work. Ill break it down:

BOS sends: KG, Pierce, Melo, Sullinger
BOS receives: Bledsoe, Cousins, Josh Smith, Garcia

ATL sends: Josh Smith
ATL receives: Harrison Barnes, Biedrins, Sullinger

SAC sends: Cousins, Garcia
SAC receives: Jordan, Melo

GSW sends: Barnes, Biedrins
GSW receives: Pierce

You can include draft picks to spice it up on some teams.

I don't think Danny will trade either KG or PP, not sure if that will be the best for the team or not.

Here's my Pipe dream homer idea if we have to trade KG.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=b27ta5r  (http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=b27ta5r)

(In case link doesnt work as it hasnt been.)

Boston Trades: KG and Bradley
Receives: Josh Smith and Jeff Teague

LAC Trades: Jordan and Bledsoe
Receive: KG and Mike Scott to make salary work

Atlanta trades: Smith, Teague, ZazA, and Scott
Receive: Jordan, Bledsoe, Bradley, Bass

Rest of the year

Teague/Terry
Lee/Terry
Pierce/Green
Smith/Wilcox
Zaza/Collins

Next year:

Rondo/Teague
Lee/Terry
Pierce/Green
Smith/Sully
FA/Wilcox

With Teague as trade bait maybe we could net a decent center to throw into the mix.

Garnett, Bass, Terry

for

Jordan, Bledsoe, Odom, 1st

Gives LAC a much better shot a title this year with KG starting and gives them some quality playoff tested depth in Bass and Terry for the bench.

Boston gets a couple of young players and a draft pick and clears out some extra long term salary for the expiring contract of Odom.

Exactly. Bledsoe is the most likely to be dealt after Josh Smith.  If the Clippers want a shot at the title and to keep CP3, they will deal Bledsoe.

No because KG will not waive his no trade clause.

The no-trade clause. KG has said many, many times he's green for good.

The clippers obviously don't seem to think so. KG had also said he would not sign an extension with the celtics if the Twolves were to trade him here, and look how that worked out.

That doesn't make it literally impossible.  In the history of civilization, dozens of people have changed their minds.  That doesn't make it literally impossible at all.  Actually, by very definition, that makes it possible.  Not likely, but possible.

It's so unlikely that I'd consider it impossible just as .99999... = 1

So you mean figuratively impossible, not literally impossible.

Unlikely to happen and impossible are two different things.

For an example, the Bobcats winning the 2006-2007 NBA title is literally impossible.  That title has already been awarded.  There is literally no chance of them winning it.

The Bobcats winning the 2012-2013 NBA title is figuratively impossible.  There is figuratively no chance of them winning it.

So if Doc and Danny were to find a trade that they liked, find a location that KG liked, and begged KG to waive his no-trade clause, he still wouldn't?  Why?  I think any rational human being would, under the right circumstances.

There's a greater likelyhood DA forgets KG has a no-trade clause, submits the trade to the league office only to get laughed out of the league when KG gives the Mutumbo finger wag.

and you somehow know better than the Clippers front office? They know how KG is. He's loyal as hell, but if Ainge and the Clippers sit down and talk to him, he can very much decide to go to LA, compete for 1-2 more rings, and work near home.

Hate to disappoint y'all, but the latest reports out of LAC are that they're unlikely to make any deal before the deadline.

This need some of you have to bomb this franchise back to the stone ages of the mid-2000s by trading icons for questionable talent escapes me.

I might not know the Clips' front office, but I think I know KG well enough to perceive he is a Celtic, now and forever.

not disappointed at all, those reports are all posturing, business as usual this time of year. The Clippers are very likely to make a trade.

Never said I wanted him traded or wanted him traded for questionable talent.   Should I assume that you want us to return to the stone ages of the mid-90s when we got nothing back from our icons, including one (Parish) that didn't even retire as a Celtic? 

I just think considering anything in sports to be "literally impossible" is VERY naive.  And anyone who believes every report they read is VERY naive.  Teams lie.  Players lie.  The media lies.  Teams change their mind.  Players change their mind.  The media is misled by team sources, agents, etc...  Life happens.  The Easter bunny isn't real.

KEVIN GARNETT WILL NOT BE TRADED THIS WEEK. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

That said, I vehemitly oppose any trading of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett as this would upset the Celtics culture that Danny, Doc, the ownership, but more importantly the two players have worked so diligently to craft here. That would send a very bad message to the rest of the troops, some of which took a lot less money to play here rather than playing for a scrub team like Phoenix.

Once again, we need to compete with who we have and add pieces after the trading deadline to shore up some holes created by the injuries to Rondo, Sullenger, and Barbosa.

It is a lot more fun to go down kicking and screaming in Miami then to just playing out the string in March and April and monitoring the NBAdraft.net and shopping on hoopshype.com for potential free agents that will never consider playing for Boston.

I would rather discuss stint analysis of our key rotation players to evaluate future tweaks needed to stay in the Big Hunt than reengineer my next fantasy Celtics team.
