Who can we sign-and-trade Brandon Bass for?

[snively]

Interesting targets:

Atlanta: Marvin Williams (if Jeff Green bolts), Zaza
Cleveland: Daniel Gibson (only one year on his deal, elite 3-point shooter, decent defender/ball-handler)
Dallas: Jason Terry
Denver: Al Harrington
Golden St.: Dorrell Wright or Brandon Rush
Lakers: Jordan Hill
Memphis: Speights or Arthur
Miami: Haslem
Milwaukee: Kwame or Ersan Ilyasova
Minny: Beasley
Nets: Humphries
NO: Landry, Belinelli or Jarret Jack
San Antonio: Danny Green (do they have his bird rights?)
Toronto: Amir Johnson

Josh Smith

Bass 7 mil s&t
Bradley 1.6 mil
Sasha 2.7 mil s&t
JJJ or future 1st (their choice)


Proposed Johnson to nets trade

Morrow,farmar,petro,Williams or stevenson s&t AND a 2013 1st

Those plus Bass,Bradley , JJJ or 1st is good for rebuildibg the hawks, keeping teague and horford.

Be shocked if we decided to move Bradley. I think a combination of Bass, (Maybe Pietrus if they lose Johnson), Jajuan Johnson, Maybe Krstic, and some future picks and cash would be what we offer.

I think the only way we for sure get Smith is if he specifically says he wants to come to Boston.

Can't S&T Krstic. Didn't finish the year on the roster.

In terms of matching salary, they can definitely get J. Smith from ATL for Bass + AB and filler. They also have the option of overpaying Bass slightly to make salaries match and sending ATL cash to make up for it.

Moore, JJJ, Sean Williams, AB = ~ 4.4 in salary - JJJ & Moore are on one year deals, and Sean Williams is not guaranteed.

Bass at 8m plus AB at filler can bring back about ~15.35m in salary.

If you take out AB, Bass and Filler can bring back about ~13.6m in salary.

Would Bass, Bradley and a first be enough for Paul Milsap? Really don't want to trade Avery, but would have to do that.

Bass cant be on this team next year.  Please DA sign and trade him or just let him walk.  I am sick of seeing our 4 and 5 taking jump shots over and over!

With KG back (assuming he wants less 5 spot minutes), our starting 4 will be a jump shooter with limited banging down low time. Only way he stays for three years or even two.

I think if you want to get the best out of Rondo and KG, having a 4 or 5 who takes jumpers is the way to go.

It's bad basketball especially in the playoffs.  This is why this team goes into offensive droughts.  Jump shots come and go and you dont get to the line which means you can't stem runs.  I hate their offense when they play that way.

As much praise as Bass got for having a few really good games, overall I thought he was a big problem for the offense in the playoffs. He was pretty consistently missing some really open looks. If you could get someone like Antawn Jamison who'd convert those looks you'd be pretty well off.

I think the scoring droughts have more to do with the lack of personnel who can create their own shot. Pierce can, and Rondo certainly got better at recognizing when he needed to score, but outside of that we have a lot of guys who rely, really on Rondo, to get them the ball where and when they need it for catch and shoots/dunks.

EDIT: That's kinda why I keep trying to think of ways to get Milsap. Good jump shooter, but is capable in the post and can create his own shot. Offensively, a perfect fit for this team.

What about Kirk Hinrich?  He would be nice coming off the bench.

[goCeltics]

when s&t bass if he gets a raise of more than %20 then his outgoing salary will only count what his previous salary was (4.25 mill) therefore you have to include ray in any deal for smith ($13 mill) for salaries to match

Jason Thompson?

How do I delete a post? I modified it but then somehow posted it again?

Most of our offense last year was people making open jump shots that were created for them by Rondo (either assisted by Rondo or through ball movement that began with Rondo).  Everyone was quick to hand credit [for our mid-season resurgence] to KG's play at the 5 spot but I think a major reason why that move ended up being so successful was that Rondo was given not one but two big men who could step back and knock down jumpers when their men were forced to play help D (or whomever we iso'd/ran a play for). 
KG has been primarily a jump shooter from day 1 with the Cs, and he's relied on the fall-away more and more as he's gotten older.
Ray is also pretty much only a jump shooter- it's pretty much been that way since he got here. 
They are what they are- and it's a [dang] good thing we have a brilliant PG who creates countless open jumpers for them every single game.

We have some cap space so a sign an trade of bass to ATL or a 3rd team for a different player along with allen to another team for another player to ATL would work no dought.

Only way Im happy with not getting a C an letting KG play there is with Smith at the 4.
