I've said it before and will keep saying it. Deal Pierce and KG to the Lakers for Howard and whoever else to make the trade work.

Then, extend Howard and hope you can get Josh Smith next summer.

The idea would be to create a new superteam of Rondo, Smith and DH with Bradley, Sully and Green as your COMPLIMENTARY pieces (remember people, you can't build a team around Bradley and Sullinger.)

That's what I would do and start a new era. You're not getting anything out of this current group.
Why do people keep insisting to trade KG? He's got a no trade clause and if this were blown up he'd just retire.

any chance we can merge all these into one big over-reaction thread?

Have you watched any games lately? Do you see how they are playing?

Everyone calm down.  This team will be fine once Avery Bradley comes back.

Any way you can explain to us how this is an over reaction? This is not last year or 2010. This is a team of mismatched parts, many of which have no interest in doing what it takes to be a Celtic. The green glasses guys are starting to drive me nuts.  This team is garbage.

Why on earth would LA do that? If they think that Howard won't stay with them they can get way more for him then two old guys who are done.

I guarantee if Ainge offers KG and Pierce for Howard, Kupchick and Buss say yes.

  • Eagerly Awaiting the Next Fantasy Draft
1. Shop, Bass, Green, Terry and Lee for a big man. If we can get a big by only giving up players in this group it will help a lot.
2. See if Pierce wants to stay, if not search for a young big
3. See if Garnett wants to stay, if not search for a young talent.
4. See what the market for Rondo is, if good players can be had we deal him.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

caught the game tonight, but my take is that it's january and losing streaks happen. 

this team is still the one that Miami doesn't want to face in the playoffs.  I'd take my chances.

What makes you think KG wouldn't waive his no trade clause to play with Kobe in LA?

If I'm Ainge, I stand pat.  Maybe make a small trade for a complimentary big to back-up KG.

Then, just let the season ride out and pray Pierce and KG retire (hopefully the new deal KG just signed only was garaunteed for this season).  After that, it's rebuild time.

Same thing he does every night, try to take over the world...umm, I mean try to find a deal that makes the team better.

Seriously, nothing changes.  Danny is always looking to improve the team, but there needs to be a deal there for him to pull the trigger.
