If that trade doesn't help us this year, pass.
That's pretty illogical thinking IMO ,we aren't competing for anything , and Terry is on a long term contract. What's the point of keeping him if you can clear cap space and pick up a pick ?
The fact that next year's draft is weak and any player we get back is most likely going to be utterly useless - think Jajuan Johnson at best.
Terry has the potential to play better with Rondo out and a bigger role, and I have a feeling he will. The deadline is three weeks away, so why not hold onto Terry until then and see how he goes?
If his production goes up then we have two possibilities:
1. His trade value goes up
2. He proves he is worth keeping
Either way we are better off than if we trade him now for nothing.
If we MUST clear cap space I'd much rather trade Bass to Toronto for Pietrus (assuming they have the cap space to swallow his contract) and slide Green into the starting PF spot. Terry's much more valuable to us than Bass if we do get to the playoffs due to his historical tendancy to perform at a high level in the playoffs and in the clutch. Plus he's a veteran leader who could help player development, whereas Bass is hardly a role model.
With Rondo gone Terry is really the only backcourt player with have with extensive playoff experience.
