Big Ray Allen Trade: Could This Work?

[nora gretz]

1) Trade Ray Allen to Memphis for Rudy Gay & #2 pick
2) a) Trade Mikki Moore, Scalabrine, House & Pruitt to Minnesota for Mike Miller or
      Al Jefferson
   b) Trade Mikki Moore, Scalabrine, House & Pruitt to Sacramento for Andres Nocioni
3) Extend/Re-sign Rondo/Starbury/Davis/Perk/Powe
4) Draft Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Steph Curry, or Thabeet
5) Have KG talk some sense into Josh Childress or possible MLE Big Man
   [There's hope for you Tim Thomas]

09-2010 Roster

Rajon Rondo / Starbury / JR. Giddens
Rudy Gay / Tyreke Evans [or Harden or Curry] / Tony Allen
Paul Pierce / Mike Miller [or Jefferson or Nocioni] / Bill Walker
KG / Big Baby Davis / Leon Powe
Perkins / Josh Childress [or possible MLE Big Man or Tim Thomas] 


                       OR

09-2010 Roster

Rajon Rondo / Starbury / JR. Giddens
Rudy Gay / Tony Allen /
Paul Pierce / Mike Miller [or Jefferson or Nocioni] / Bill Walker
KG / Big Baby Davis / Leon Powe
Perkins /Josh Childress/ Thabeet 


Call me crazy but could either line-up work?
Would Childress buckle down just for a ring?
Can Tony become consistent SG? []
Perk, BBD & Powe have proven they can become a feared frontcourt, do you continue to work on their offensive game?
Would you draft Evans, Harden, or Curry
Or Develop Thabeet  [Pat Riley said no Rebounds no Rings]

There is no way we would get Jefferson for table scraps.  Also why do you keep putting Josh Childress behind Perk?  He isn't a center.

interesting first post.  Welcome to Celticsblog.  TP

While the effort is admirable, there are a few things wrong...

On your first point, there is no way we are getting the number 2 AND Gay just for Ray...

On your second point, I don't know if we could get Big Al for anyone not named Garnett on our team, nevermind a combination of our worst players.

On your last point, as has already been stated, Childress is a SG/SF, not a big man- while he wouldn't be the worst player for this team, it wouldn't be as a Center.

All in all, some of your ideas like bringing in Nocioni and re-upping some of our guys certainly help our team now and in the future- unfortunately, some of the moves would just be impossible.

Also. Mikki Moore is a FA. We cant trade him

Yeah, but many posters have been using him in trades. I just thought that they assumed a sign and trade in order to make contracts work- but yes, I guess if we are piling on...

we WON the CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR!

slow your roll on trading Ray

[Actionjakson]

This could not work. no way Ray gets us Gay and the #2 by himself! also, trading scraps for Jefferson/Miller would not work at all. It was a valiant effort for your first post, but not realistic at all
