Al Jefferson for Ray Allen+Sheeds contract+clips 1st rounder?

[Goldstar88]

Any chance Utah would do this? maybe they buy/amnesty Ray and he comes back to the Celts? Would love to see Jefferson back in green. Rondo, Jeff Green, and Jefferson would be a solid core for the future...

they can't amnesty a player that is traded, and I can't see why they would want to do this deal anyway

Three things:

1.  Sheed's contract is off the books, and can't be traded;

2.  While it's still up in the air, the most likely result is that players who are traded can't be amnestied; and

3.  Players who are traded and waived can't re-sign with their old teams for a year (or until July 1) under the new CBA.  The league closed that particular loophole.

In theory, if there was a situation where we could just trade the Clips #1 for Big Al, I would do it.  However, that's not a feasible scenario.

Hmm to bad they closed that loophole... http://hoopshype.com/salaries/boston.htm still shows sheeds and shaqs contract on the books.

I think the only shot we have at Al is with Green.

It gives them a nice young player and it keeps our core together. Because while Big Al is potentially a nice player to build around, I think he has even more value this year as the guy who potentially propels us back to the top. We'd literally be unguardable and still have a top defense.

Hoopshype is a terrible site for contract info.

Use http://www.shamsports.com instead, or even better, use this site:
