The trade concept is Rondo and Green for Rudy Gay (1yr 19 million). We are using Phx to dump Gerald Greens and Kieth Bogans salaries.
This year is probably another season with a major losing record for the Celtics and I have figured that Rondo will be out of here after this season.
Danny and Brad Stevens will try to build a team around a core of Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Olynyk, SF, and Sullenger. That SF could be Rudy Gay or a future draftee or free agent. I would love to get involved in the multi team trade and end up with Kieth Wiggins.
I doubt that Evan Turner is the long term solution at SF.
The team currently as constructed is about a 30 to 35 win team which takes a long time to emerge from. Certainly longer than Rondo's and Green's career time span.
I still think there is some value to this season for the Celtics and there true fans which does include this Celtics blog audience.
