Celtics Trade - Green, Bass, Melo and Sulinger
Celtics Receive - Josh Smith and Michael Beasley

Hawks Trade - Josh Smith and Johan Petro
Hawks Receive - Gortat, Bass and Melo

Phoenix Trade - Gortat and Beasley
Phoenix Receive - Green, Sulinger and Petro

For Boston you get to pair Rondo and Josh Smith two friends who want to play together and fills a big hole for us.  Smith can play the PF spot next to Garnet and adds a new element to the team.  Beasley is a contract throw in but maybe on a good team we can become an instant offense reserve for the C's. 

The Hawks get a starting Center in Gortat and can move Horford to PF where he is really tough to play.  They also get a look at Melo as a future center and Bass as a good backup PF.

Phoenix starts to rebuild around Sullinger at PF , Green at SF and Dragic at the PG.  There are two good SGs in the draft if they can get one that would be perfect.

I do NOT want to lose Sully!!!

Yeah, not crazy about losing Sullinger and i definitely don't want Beasley.

So we give away a good scorer off the bench, a decent starter a future prospect and a jet rebounder who is gonna be awesome in a few years for josh smith?? Beasley is a cancer in this league. I used to hope he would turn out. But seriously He was basically given the opportunity in PHX to show everyone he belonged here and could be a serious threat. That never happened. So im not a fan of giving up all that for josh smith. Look at it this way. I actually think sully is going to be a better rebounder then josh smith and i rekon he could put up at least 12-18 points a night on a solid basis in a few years. Rather keep the crew together and then once Pauls and KG's contracts are up we go after a primetime Big

Josh Smith >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sully

Smith is greater than Sully on a blacktop playing one on or one, or even a pickup game.  But this isn't the playground, players have contracts and those contracts have a large impact on the value for the player.  Sully is cost protected for another 4 years.  That is huge.  Smith is on the last year of a deal and looking to get paid.  This trade just doesn't make any sense.

It only doesn't make sense if we were trying to rebuild/blow it up.

We may have Josh Smith for 1 year, but our odds at a championship THIS YEAR are greatly amplified.

I would pass.

Some one was calling Dany at the 3ish minute mark of the game tonight....

Probably NOT about this trade though, giving up WAY to much for Smith and a bad attitude version of Green...
