That's... not terrible.

Need one more shooting guard for a full starting 5, though.

TANK BABY TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not bad, let's give the OP a hand.

[CsBanner18]

Good idea. Cs might have to include a future 1st rd pick to Minny for Pekovic since green can opt out, and Bass/Joel are expirings.

Essentially the C's would be trading Rondo, Olynyk, and the chance to keep Green long term for McLemore, Stauskas, Pekovic, and the chance to keep Rudy Gay.


Detroit would probably have to send a second rounder or two to Sacramento for relieving their cap by trading Williams' expiring contract.

ainge already beat you to it. give these threads a rest please.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge was downright exasperated when asked yet again this week about Rondo's future in Boston.
"Are you seriously asking me that again? Yes, we expect Rajon to be in Boston for the long term," Ainge said. "Does that need to be asked any more by anybody ever again?"

You brought this on yourself by trying to trade him for each of the last 7 years, Danny, so shut up and deal with it  

Side bar - McLemore?  Again?  Or perhaps, still lol?  Ugh.

Haha, this trade is actually pretty good. I think it makes sense for all squads involved. Maybe the only one who will balk is Minny in giving up Pekovic. But a Nets 1st rounder should be able to fix that

This trade is interesting except that for Sacramento moving Gay is counterproductive. There really isn't a way for them to take on Smith and Rondo AND Wallace without giving up Gay and also paying Cousins unless they cut half of their roster. Rondo, Wallace, Smith, Gay and Cousins come to just over $70M in salary. Include Stauskas and you're basically at the tax line.

If they could somehow convince Philly to take on Wallace's deal then it might work. Sacramento doesn't have a lot of free picks (2017 I guess) and my guess is they're keen on keeping Stauskas, especially next to Rondo.

Maybe this: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=oybtohg

where Boston gets SAC's 2017 unprotected 1st and Philly gets their 1st (2nds) back and a protected 1st from us (CLE/LAC, top-15 protected).

We could still make a trade for Pek but we'd have to take on Martin I'd bet. Not sure I want Pek on this team if we're going Rondo-less rebuild mode but this works: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=odnvfgw
