TRADE RONDO, COURTNEY LEE, FAB MELO, AND BRANDON BASS TO DENVER FOR LAWSON, CHANDLER, MCGEE AND MOZGOV!!! NOT SURE ABOUT CONTENDING THIS YEAR BECAUSE RONDO IS GONE BUT LAWSON IS STILL GROWING AND COULD BE A TOP 5 PG IN A YR OR 2 AND PLUS WE ACTUALLY GET TALENTED BIG MEN BACK FOR THE FUTURE. I'D CHANCE IT. NO OTHER WAY WE CAN GET TALENT ON THIS TEAM WITHOUT A DEAL LIKE THIS!!GET IT DONE1st- Just a heads up, all caps is just not cool.That aside, how is not wanting to give up the best player on either roster for a bunch of role players crazy? Seems to me it ought to be the other way around.

I'm not sure if anybody linked to Ford's original quote, but this was clearly just his speculation:QuoteSteve (Missouri)You've mentioned the possibility of the Celtics dealing Rondo. If they went down that road, who might have the desire and pieces to be a trade partner?Chad Ford (1:10 PM):It's just one option for Danny Ainge. I think their first preference is to add a big man without breaking up their veteran core of KG, Paul Pierce and Rondo. But if they can't do that, I do think the Rondo, and even Paul Pierce, trade options are on the table. Rondo's been on the block before and despite his incredible play, hasn't drawn huge interest because of his reputation of being a difficult player to coach and a tough teammate. With that said I wouldn't be shocked to see a team like the Nuggets get in the picture. Yes, they have two point guards already, but Rondo would be an upgrade on a team trying to compete right now and they have the pieces that could entice Danny Ainge to make a deal.

Quote from: Kane3387 on January 23, 2013, 09:30:35 PMI would do this deal though. I would only do this deal because PG is the easiest position to acquire in today's NBA. Lots of ingoing and outgoing players in this one too so it is unrealistic as well.http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bzhxwl8Boston receives: Igoudala, Gallo, Andre Miller, Koufos, and FrariedDenver receives: Rondo, Green, Bass, *Terry or Lee, Collins, and Barbosa* I would prefer to move Terry over Lee, but I would live with moving Lee instead if the Nuggets made getting him over Terry a deal breaker.Boston's lineup:Miller/Bradley/Delonte? And Iggy could play some point forwardIggy/Lee/ Bradley/ Delonte?Pierce/Gallo/Iggy/LeeFraried/Sullinger/Gallo/Kenyon Martin?KG/Koufos/Wilcox/MeloDenver's Lineup:Rondo/Lawson/BarbosaChandler/Lawson/Terry/BrewerGreen/Chandler/BrewerBass/Green/A. RandolphMcghee/Mozgov/CollinsAfter looking at Denver's lineup they are likely giving up too much as far as chemistry and fit. I think talent wise it's even since they keep Lawson and Mcghee.I just don't realistically see a trade that makes sense for both teams and actually works with Rondo as the main piece being moved.I think if the Nuggets used their trade exception from the Nene deal to take Terry or Bass first, a more approachable trade could then be worked out for Lawson.

i don't really like anyone that much on Denver's roster.

I don't get it.Random and barely relevant: I have Faried's autograph... my girlfriend got me some pack of basketball cards as a stocking stuffer and inside was his autographed card. So at least if the Celtics traded for him, I might actually give a crap that I had his autographed card. Lol.
Not interesting in anything Denver have to offer.
