I know I'm a broken record, but... Ray Allen for OJ Mayo + salary filler.
meh....maybe if we had some sort of clause where the Celtics had the option of swapping firsts.
Actually, Memphis is desperate for a PF with Arthur out for the year and Z-Bo gone for some time......wonder if Mayo for Bass would work?
Hmm. I think it could. Bass makes $4m this yr and Mayo makes $5.6m. I'm not entirely sure of the rules now with the new CBA, but this may be a better base for a trade salary wise.
Memphis would jump at that.
Considering their dire need at PF, I'm sure they would.
Here's my ideaMemphis gets
Ray Allen
Utah gets
OJ Mayo
Darrell Arthur
Jermaine O'Neal
Atlanta gets
Al Jefferson
Marquis Daniels
Hamed Hammadi
Boston gets
Josh Smith
Kirk Hinrich
Why?
Memphis adds a shooter they desperately need to spread the floor(worst shooting team in the NBA)
Utah needs to let Kanter and Favors take over, they're good with them and Heyward/Millsap in the frontcourt for now, the backcourt could use some more youth because Raja Bell is complete trash. Mayo could be their future 2 and be a scorer. Pick up an expiring in JO and Arthur was just thrown in there for salary purposes
Atlanta gets size it desperately needed, Al Jeff can play center and Horford can come back at the 4. Daniels is a nice backup to Marv with him and T-mac they got good wing depth
Boston gets someone to run the transition with and a PG to control the floor when Rondo is out.
Pretty awesome trade for everyone I must say.
