Haha. This is such a ripoff. Cleveland wouldn't even listen to this.

3 team deal?
-
No way. Bass is worth AT LEAST Kevin Love at this point.
-
I'm still contemplating whether I should trade a nickle for a quarter, a very tough decision to make.
-

Kevin Love is like a poor man's Bass.
-
No, that's just silly.
Why do that deal when we can just trade him to Miami for LeBron, Wade and Bosh?
We'd need to cut Shavlik and DJ White first though to create Roster space.
Unless...we can include those two guys as well, then Miami would give us two draft picks too :)

Varejao's left shoe > BB

I would but he is always hurt.

3 team deal?
Classic.
CB trade proposer: "I think we should trade crappy Celtics player X for player Y, who is far superior, on some other team."
Sensible response: "This deal is crazy, the other team would never even consider it."
Still-deluded trade proposer: "It would work if we somehow found another (unspecified) team who would trade us their great player Z for our crappy player X - who we could then flip for some real talent."
Mmmmmkay.
-
why would cleveland ever, ever do that?
-
I believe trade will go down, but it will be nixed when Satch Sanders wouldn't allow that C's unretired his #16. ;D

TP.
Sully will start next year, Bass can come off the bench. Problem solved.

Bass for Anderson Varejao!?
Cmon now, everybody knows this deal is way no fair. Cleveland has to at least add in a first round pick.

i heard the phone slam down 5 states away

It's one of those "I traded a paper clip for a house" stories.
Maybe if we trade Bass to a 3rd team for an incremental upgrade, and subsequently move the player we acquired to a 4th team for another incremental upgrade -- and then repeat this with all 28 other teams -- we can eventually end up with Varejao. ;)

Celticsblog, where amazing happens :)

i'd rade brandon bass for wally szczerbiak at this point. arguably the worst rotation player of the big three era.

So, you'd rather have Mikki Moore?

tooshay. i'll say that brandon bass is the worst player playing 20 plus minutes for the team of the era.

Hey Krook,
all reports indicated before Verajao went down that the Cavs asking price for him was really high. Verajao has been outplaying the value of his contract by a wide margin which makes him a valuable piece for Cleveland. Rumors had it that they were looking for top of the line young players/draft picks in return for him, otherwise they'd just keep him and let him ride out his contract. I'm guessing not much has changed, even with his injury. So unless we were to put together a package of very tantalizing young players/draft picks (which half of C'blog is convinced we don't have, and the other half overvalue) I think the chances of getting him would be extremely thin.
Bass on the other hand has been the biggest disappointment on the team for me personally this year. Honestly, he's starting to enter that Mark Blount territory for me where I'm swearing at the TV when the ball touches his hands and it seems he's overly prone to making bad decisions/turning the ball over every time he gets it. It's clear from every statistical and visual appraisal of his play that he's struggling, especially compared to last year. So I doubt there's much we could get back for him at the moment, let alone a player who was averaging 14 and 14 before he was injured.
I just don't know that we realistically have the assets to acquire Verajao, and if we did, we'd probably be giving away too much in order to land him.
That's just my two cents.

Maybe Bass plus Sullinger would interest Cleveland?
But cerainly not just Bass

brandon bass + a bottle of wine, lets make cleveland GM drunk and force him to accept the trade

I hope that you dont actually think they would do this and im talking about you're initial trade of Bass for Varejao when you're thinking of making trade proposals make sure that they benefit both sides
-
well now... thats one heck of a fairy tale ...
still ... got Kudos all day for the OP
Just gotta Like the way he thinks!! ;D

The 2011-2012 version of Jermaine O'Neal?
There are only 17 players (and 43) who have averaged 20+mpg in a season for the Celtics during that period (not including Oliver Lafayette's 1 game for 22 minutes). I'd guess he is among the best if you took the worst players who fit that criteria for each team over the same time period.

That ain't going to be enough.
Better make it a case of Guinness.

I don't think that I have ever commented on the silliness (that's the kindest word that I could come up with)of a thread, due to the dumbness of many threads that I OP'd but, man.....
OK, strike that....I've never officially commented on the silliness of a thread.
P.S. We as Celticsblogggers have viewed this over 900times. You gotta be _____ing me.

What is this thread even asking? O_O No....

A bottle of wine, a video camera, and an underage prostitute; you're going to need some serious blackmail to get this trade done.
-
I like it.
How about we get some more pieces involved.
What about:
Brandon Bass
Terrence Williams
For
Kyrie Irving
Anderson Verajao
(throw in our 2015 2nd rounder if they insist)

Lol I hope this was sarcasm, cause that trade is NEVER EVER gonna happen in any lifetime. Thats like trading Lebron and Wade for Big Baby and Etuwan Moore

After reading the first post in this thread, I'd be disappointed in any poster who responded seriously.

No, Williams is way too talented to make that deal. We should sign and trade Delonte West instead, you know because his value on the free agent market is so high right now. We only throw in Bass becuase we need to clear a roster space to make way for Irving.
:P

Bringing the thread back to reality, what about Jeff Green for Anderson Varejao? Which team says no?
-

Probably the C's given AV's health issues. But I have no idea how much they value Jeff Green.
His contract says quite a bit, but who knows.

I think the C's say no for AV's health issues. I'd rather move Bass and Melo for him but can't see Cleveland doing that.
-
suggestion: this Jeff Green topic deserves its own split off thread
-
Cavs owner would probably tell Ainge "I'll be right there to discuss this", hop on a plane, fly to Boston, meet Ainge at the airport, punch him in the face and then fly back to Cleveland without saying a word.

fine with me.

Honestly, I think Varejao's trade vaule around the league has to have taken a pretty big hit. The guy just cannot stay healthy. I love the player, but if you can't play, what good are you?
Varejao easily still has more value than Bass (staright up), but at this point, there is now way I'd trade Jeff Green straight up.
Cleveland should have traded him when he was healthy. Pretty much tied to him now, unless their willing to take pennies on the dollar. Even if he manages to make it all the way to the trade deadline next season healthy, teams are still going to be wary of his history.
-
No way. Varejao is a poor man's Bass.
I would only do it in a 3-way trade, if we also got LeBron and Wade, maaaybe throw in Kevin Love, to make it fair for us. There.

Bass will be better in the playoffs than Varejao at least.

I can see Ainge pitching that, "Listen Bass played much better in the playoffs than Varejao". Can't argue with that logic, WELCOME TO BOSTON VAREJAO!
-
Holy smokes. Weird season.
First half:
Would have gladly traded Green for J-Smoove, Bass for Varejao
Now:
Definitely not trading Green for Smoove.
Varejao might be worth less than Bass after the injury and Bass's recent upswing (if I'm not mistaken AV's injury seems somewhat serious).
Hopefully our players keep improving amid a season of tough luck, fight hard in this year's playoffs and come back next season stronger than ever.

Bass trade talk is just as off as trading Paul or Kevin
come on fam?
yall know Bass be Thumpin!!

disagree...varejao at its best come playoffs, box out hustle points, rebounds, will take you to finals, sorrounded bu good defensive players like kg and pierce 30+ points + bradley defense
