You're right with 1 part of your post (and in fact it's in the title)... it's a CRAZY trade idea. Why would we give up our best scorer (Green) and playmaker (Rondo) for an injured player (as good as George is, we have no idea how he'll return) AND give up 2 1st round picks that at this stage look like they may be around the mid-late teens.

Wait what?? The celtics rebuild to get a superstar that will take them back to that competitor level. And when healthy George is a top 5 player in this league, so he would be the perfect player to build around (because he's young and can grow with our other prospects)
What would be a better return for Rondo?? Danny aquirred those picks exactly for that kind of situation, or do you want to wait 10 years till all our picks have developed?

Rondo would be a better fit than Irving on some squads, but not on Cleveland.  Lebron doesn't need to be set up for baskets, which is Rondo's biggest strength.  Rather, Lebron needs to dominate the ball, and needs to be surrounded by shooters.  That's not Rondo's strong suit.

I like PG, but at best he plays like a top 5 player during the regular season only.

He had an abysmal showing vs MIA last year in the playoffs. The best players on that Indy team in the postseason last year were David West and Lance Stephenson - not PG.

I don't believe he would make us any better, especially in the postseason. This trade would set us back, IMO.

Wow chill down!Don't act like we get a trash player, we're speaking of paul george!
I admit he isn't perfect, but if we trade rondo we have to get a good reward for him.
And since Boston isn't going to attract high level free agents we have to trade for one.
So we have to wait for an opportunity, and I would be more than happy if Danny gets a better player than Paul George in a trade, but I don't see us trading Rondo for Anthony Davis etc.

If Cleveland does that I'm all for it. I mean do you not see that we'd be a center away from an all time defensive team?

We'd probably end up being one of the worst teams this year , tankapalooza all over again. Get towns or okafor, preferably towns, and I'm sure Gasol would be intrigued with a max deal and Payl George.

Smart
Avery
PG
Towns
Gasol

Kelly and Sully off the bench.

BANNER 18!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I do not think LB would trade George who was on the brink of greatness prior to the injury.

Yeah.. But maybe we can make the deal tasty for him with some picks, and he gets a franchise player back in Irving.

He already has his own franchise player in George.

Yeah I meant he gets a healthy franchise player plus first rounders in return for his franchise player,
and that is the only circumstance he would give up PG, IMO
