My vote is for Green/Bass/and (picks/melo) for Josh Smith.

That lets us compete now, let's KG and P retire as celts and gives us a sold core for of Rondo and Smith for the future.  Those two are good friends as well.

I think a change of environment will be great for Smith along with playing alongside KG and Pierce.

I would hate to see Green go, but you have to give to get.

That is the best deal out there for J. Smith (much better than Humpries and M. Brooks) and I think Danny will let the hawks sweat for the next couple of days and hope they bite on thus.  If the Hawks are set on not re-signing Smith, they just might pull the trigger come Thus.

I don't consider 2 more years "a lot of years left", and ideally "upgrade" is more of a roster notion, than a player vs. player notion. If you can grab a center of comparable talent, then that's an upgrade for the team.
You swap your starting PF for a backup C and that's a roster upgrade? Because Garnett isn't going back to PF, and you're still one big man short even after this swap.

What?

There are plenty of PF/C types, or at least PF with more length than Bass. And KG can very well move to PF if needed be. Don't see the problem with that at all.
Who is out there that makes around what Bass makes, has a team willing to take on salary, and wants to move a rotation caliber player?

No clue. Just saying, if the option is out there, you do it. If not, I'm content with staying pat. I'm not making any trade proposals, just using a player and providing possible motivators that could be used to trade him, if that particular need exists around the league... motivators that have been frequently used in trades that have left some scratching their heads because they don't comprehend the value some people place on certain aspects.

If its not an option you can actually craft a scenario for then why bring it up? That tells me there is no such option.

I'd like to see Pierce + Melo + Picks for LBJ. That's the sort of deal that "upgrades" Bass, one that the other team wants no part of.

A thread titled "Why Didn't Danny get Smith?"


Both ESPN's Chris Broussard and CBS' Ken Berger are reporting that the Bucks and Hawks are talking about a trade involving Monta Ellis and Josh Smith.
The Hawks reportedly think that Ellis and Jeff Teague would mesh well together in their backcourt. The Bucks, meanwhile, have bigger plans up their sleeve. If they can pry Smith from the Hawks, they'd perhaps then try to trade defensive stopper Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and a pick to the Magic for J.J. Redick. That would leave them with a very solid starting five of Brandon Jennings, Redick, Ersan Ilyasova, Smith and Larry Sanders. It's a potential deal to monitor as the Hawks weigh their options ahead of Thursday's deadline.

I think if bucks pull out of deal. We have a better shot

Can you see JSmoove agreeing to sign longterm in Milwaukee? I can't.

Howewver, Bucks may be willing to take the chance on a rental. Not sure, though, that the Bucks would do that.

If what they're giving up is Ellis a rental is fine.

Ellis has an opt out and is likely to exercise it.

I'm waiting for Smoove to pull a Melo/D-Will and kill his midseason trade value by claiming he won't resign anywhere not named Boston. In all seriousness though the only trade I'd be happy with is if we got Smith for minor pieces (i.e not Pierce) which probably wont happen.

Do the Hawks do it if they view Ellis as a rental if he opts out?

Maybe they're interested in resigning Ellis at his market value more than Smith? They also could be interested in the other assets involved, most other scenarios have longer term salary attached so an de-facto expiring + assets isn't a bad offer either.

Wish I had a crystal ball.

All this conjecture is fun though.

Personally, I hope we keep KG/PP and somehow acquire someone like Dalembert or Hickson. KG needs some backup.
One of those two and Kmart with the core of our current roster is what I'd like to see.

Josh Smith is unlikely and my preference, but not for PP.
