Not advocating for or against, but curious to know who among the "trade Paul Pierce and promote JG" crowd (if there is such a thing) would do this trade:
BOSTON TRADES
Pierce
Terry
Barbosa
Collins
Rights to Brooklyn's 2014 2nd Rnd pick
BOSTON GETS
Asik
Korver
Lin
Houston's 2014 1st Rnd pick (unprotected)
ATLANTA TRADES
Smith
Korver
ATLANTA GETS
Pierce
Morris
Barbosa
Houston's 2015 1st Rnd pick
Brooklyn's 2014 2nd Rnd pick via Boston
HOUSTON TRADES
Asik
Morris
Lin
2014 and 2015 1st Rnd picks
HOUSTON GETS
Smith
Terry
Collins
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ah8vkbaWe'd need depth at the 3 so after the deadline...
Celtics sign Donte Greene or best available off waiver wire
Rondo/Lin
Bradley/Korver/Lee
Green/Greene/?
Sullinger/Bass/Wilcox
Garnett/Asik/Melo
Only if Hawks convinced Smith won't resign
even then ATL still says no
Thoughts?
