We trade:
_Bogans, CJ, CB, Clips pick to NY for JR Smith, Shump
_Rondo to H-Town for D-Mo & 2 1st or a 1st & 2nd
_Green to Atl for a 1st
_Bass to Phx for a 2nd

We have:
PG: Smart, Shump, Pressey
SG: Bradley, Thornton
SF: Turner, JR, Young
PF: KO, Sully
C: D-Mo, Zeller

With these trades we get some picks & young players for cheap. D-Mo can play pf/c & shot the 3's, Shump is a defensive stud. Smart & KO also get more min. Expiring contract will give us more cap space next year for FA.
Thoughts?

Why are we giving up a pick when we get JR Smith? Similarly I wouldn't move Rondo for two low first round picks.

I'm fine with trading Green for a first, though its a meh move. Same with Bass for a 2nd. Though I'd probably wait till deadline to see how the season went and trade market was going.

Although I'm not necessarily opposed trading away Rondo I'd say that return is relatively underwhelming.

In the instance that Rondo would be traded to Houston, I think it would be rather safe to say that they at the very least would enter the playoffs in the west. Considering the disparage between the conferences, a conservative estimate would be to say that both picks would be past the first 18 selections in the draft. Granted, draft position and eventual talent often diverge (Rondo as a 21st pick is here an excellent case), but I would assume that lottery picks for Rondo would at the very least be possible.

Furthermore, while Motiejunas is definitely an interesting prospect, I am yet to be convinced that he at any point can become a starter in the league. From my perspective his talents are better fit to be a roleplayer that can switch up a teams offensive strategy (i.e. swapping a non-shooting big-man with a shooter). Simply put: he is not a starting center currently, and has not shown anything thus far to be on that path.

Regarding the NY trade I'm also rather sceptic - Shumpert might be a good defensive player, but we've already got an undersized, terrific defender who's not really a 1 or 2 named Avery Bradley, who just got paid this summer. Why do we need a slightly-less pesky and overhyped backup? As Fafnir notes JR Smith is by himself negative value - and not particularly young, talented (or seemingly motivated) to perform up to his past (unreliable) standards.

I like the Green dump, but would hope that Bass could net a pick himself, not because we need them, but rather because a 2nd rounder is hardly a better asset than he is. I don't think he's needed in Boston as of now, but I think he could have significant value to other teams.

How do u guys come up with these ridiculous trades??? To think that 2 very late firsts and montejuenas is enough to net rondo for Houston is ridiculous. And don't get me started on the knicks trade.. why would we give away our clips pick?? It's looking better and better as this sterling situation keeps unfolding. No.. just no to all of this
everyone got so sensitive after 9-11... thanks alot bin laden

Pure liquidation sale. Only upside to this is the #1 pick in next years draft. Otherwise, it'd be horrible.

From reading the title of this thread, I thought that someone had finally come up with a trade where all of the assets are going out and nothing coming back in return, and I was right!
