first I would Rondo trade Rondo in a 3 way deal with Milwaukee and Detroit.
If we signed and traded him to Detroit.
boston gives up more years signed rondo and clippers pick
boston gets Henson, a Milwaukee first rounder and a Detroit 1st round
Detroit gets rondo
Detroit gives up jennings,monroe and a first rounder
Milwaukee gets jennings, monroe,clippers pick
Milwaukee gives henson and a 1st rounder (top 3 protected)
or without signing and trading rondo.
Boston gets Henson, a Milwaukee first rounder
boston gives rondo and clippers pick
Detroit gets rondo
Detroit gives up jennings,monroe
Milwaukee gets jennings, monroe,clippers pick
Milwaukee gives henson and a 1st rounder (top 3 protected)
money works here
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=mzyjlpx Boston does it because
you get a lottery pick and because henson is a young rim protector that will most likely become a star.
The reason I think Henson is a star is because
his stats last year are
11.1ppg 7.1 rebounds per game 1.7 blocks per game and a PER of 17.97 in 26 minutes per game
at 23 he is bound to improve especially with bradley Steven's as a coach.
so people are only good for a certain amount of time and then they don't play well when given more minutes
he has had 2 seasons in the nba
with his two years
1st year 8.7 ppg 6 rpg and 1.2 bpg with 20 minutes a game
2nd year 11.1ppg 7.1 rebounds per game 1.7 blocks per game and a PER of 17.97 in 26 minutes per game
with an increase of 2.4ppg 1.1 rpg and .5 blocks per game in 6 minutes
the average starter starts 33 min
now that would give him 7 more minutes as a starter given his increase we can infer that with this increase he would have stats of
13.5 ppg 8.5 rpg and 2.2 bpg
those are great stats
we don't even know what his natural improvement could be or if he was with Steven's he could
improve. He is going to hit his prim in 5 years.
some have been wanting to trade for all star roy hibbert.
hibbert stats at 29 min age 27 are 10.8ppg 6.6rbg 2.2bpg 13.54 per
henson stats at 26 minuets 23 are 11.1ppg 7.1 1.7bpg 17.97 per
henson beats hibbert in points rebounds and PER. while playing less minute being cheaper and being 4 years younger
Milwaukee was looking to deal him because they already have larry saunders who they have already signed a big contract with him.
Detriot does it because
They get a big three of rondo josh smith and drummond
while giving up a solid veteran and a young guy who could be a star
Milwaukee does it because
willing to trade Henson
they would get a starting line up of
Jennings
Knight
parker
Monroe
Saunders
You would have a lot of offense in parker knight and monroe with defense coming from saunders and jennings
with a decent bench from their former starters
and kid coaching they could go far or fall flat on their faces who knows but that is a very good line up to sell to fans.
The Next problem is we need a pg. with rondo gone we need someone to mentor smart on being clutch and developing his offense while dumping bass. How about Steve nash.
Second trade
Boston gives up bass and babb
Lakers give up Steve Nash
Money works here
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lm773rj reasons why Boston does it
we get playing time for olynyk and sully
nash can help train smart
reasons why Lakers do it
they have jeremy lin for starting pg
bass is a solid veteran who can mentor randle and get a little pressure off of him
nash is old and very unproductive but great lockeroom presence.
This gives us the line up of
Smart/nash/pressy
Bradley/thornton/young
Green/turner/wallace
Sully/olynyk/favorini
Henson/zeller/joel anthoney
I would trade jeff green but no one wants him.
this is a young roster with defense in smart bradley and henson. their is offense in sully green with thornton,olynyk and young coming off the bench.This also adds another lottery pick to our assets and allows our young guys to play.
I know a lot of people really don't want to trade rondo and say to wait till the middle of the year but, wouldn't you get more for a year of rondo than half a year of rondo? I know people would say that rondo would play great and people would want him then but what if he gets hurt again or plays the same then his value diminish.This is the best time to trade him unless we S&T him.
