I want to make a crazy multi-team trade proposal BOS/BRK/CHI/TOR

[LooseCannon]

Combining several of my trade ideas, because I want to go nuts just like everyone else.

Boston:
In: Carlos Boozer, Gerald Wallace, Mirza Teletovic,  Landry Fields
Out: Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee, Jason Terry

Chicago:
In: Andrea Bargnani, Courtney Lee, Marshon Brooks
Out: Carlos Boozer

Brooklyn:
In: Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass, Jason Terry
Out: Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Mirza Teletovic, Marshon Brooks

Toronto:
In: Kris Humphries
Out: Andrea Bargnani, Landry Fields

Some additional players may need to be included to make it work.

Boston receives second-round picks from Chicago and Toronto and two first-round picks from Brooklyn.  Maybe also an option to swap their own 2014 pick for the (top-ten protected) Bobcats pick owned by the Bulls.   

Toronto does this deal because it gets out from Fields' contract and gets a PF not named Bargnani.

Brooklyn does this because they get out from under Wallace's contract, get an upgrade at PF from Humphries to Bass, and get a HOFer in the kind of splashy big name acquisition that a crazy Russian billionaire probably loves.

Chicago does this because they get a better solution at SG and get out from under Boozer's contract.

Boston does this to acquired draft picks while taking on bad contracts.

Unless you think Garnett-Boozer-Green-Bradley-Rondo with a bench of Sullinger, Wallace, Teletovic, and Fields plus a free agent center and backup point guard or two, a rookie, filling out the roster with some of the Chinese three or similar players is a recipe for a watchable team, in which case Boston does this to reload instead of rebuild, while acquiring future assets.

The issue I have with this deal would be the amount of bad contracts that we are taking back on and in exchange we aren't going to get any top 10 picks.

Thats a fairly solid roster that the Celtics would have at the end of the day, but its not a team that is going to compete deep into the playoffs and it won't have room to improve due to cap constraints, which means we end up with a late teens draft pick the next few years.

So we are hamstrung by the cap until those bad contracts come off the books and we aren't drafting in a position to find a true difference maker (unless we get lucky and find a diamond in the rough). Seems like a recipe for mediocrity for me.

I do think its the type of deal each team would consider, and no one is getting screwed or anything, I just think there are probably better deals out there.

The recipe for the Celtics getting a top 10 pick is for them to get lottery-protected pick from a team that is still bad after the protection wears off or to get a pick well into the future from a team that is good now but will suck in a few years.  Maybe the Bobcats pick owned by the Bulls, which becomes unprotected in 2016.

If you want a top 10 pick that is specifically for 2014, you probably need a young player that another team thinks is better than anyone they can draft.

Why would we want bad contracts in a soon to be rebuilding era? Plus theres no reason for us to get all those draft picks in this deal the package we are giving up isnt all that special.

I like the effort here.

I'm not sure that Chicago pulls that, though.  I understand the sentiment to try and get out from under Boozr's contract (which actually isn't terribly bad at this point) but I don't think Chicago takes this deal.  I think Butler came on strong towards to the end of the season and the SG position isn't as dire as people are led to believe.

Also, I hate the idea of Bargs/Deng for CHI.  Taking out Boozer and creating that duo makes the team worse, IMO.

Carlos Boozer, Gerald Wallace, Mirza Teletovic, Landry Fields are all pretty bad players.

Acquiring first-round picks by taking on bad contracts as pat of the deal is a reasonable way to go about rebuilding.  It requires accepting that you probably won't be a contender until a few years after those contracts expire.
