So, here's what I find funny.
Chris Broussard tweets: While C's not moving Rondo, they would take back Amare in deal n which they could unload longer deals of Gerald Wallace &/or Courtney Lee.
That suggests that the Celtics would do a deal for Amare that doesn't involve Wallace.
So, Stoudemire and Shumpert (and throw in Chris Smith and Toure Murray to balance roster spots) for Lee, Bass, Humphries, and Bogans.
The Celtics take on more salary for next season to save money for this season and 2014-2015. One benefit is that Ainge now has wiggle room to do deals without going into the luxury tax. That includes simply signing an available center such as Tim Ohlbrecht or Chris Johnson.
