Rondo is gone to Dallas. Operation Rebuild is now in effect. Guys like Bass, Green deserve to be on contenders. 1st order of business is to send Jeff Green to the Memphis Grizzles.

Trade Proposal:

Boston Sends: Green, Zeller, Cleveland 2016 2nd Round pick
Boston Receives: Dion Waiters, Grizzlies 2015 1st (from Cleveland), Celtics 2016 2nd Rd pick (via Grizzlies)

Memphis Sends: Kostas Koufos, Tayshaun Prince, 2016 Celtics 2nd Rd pick
Memphis Receives: Jeff Green, Tyler Zeller, 2016 Wizards 2nd Rd pick (protected by the Wizards picks 31-49 in 2nd Rd)

Cleveland Sends: Waiters, Haywood (10.5 mil, can be waived so essientially an expiring deal), Grizzlies 2015 1st Rd pick.
Cleveland Receives: Kosta Koufos, Tayshaun Prince, Cleveland 2016 2nd Rd pick (from Boston).

Here's the breakdown on the picks:

Celtics:

The Celtics owe their 2016 second round pick to the Grizzlies. We would get that back. Also to the Celtics would get the Grizzlies 2015 1st round pick (currently protected by Memphis for picks 1-5, and 15-30). As part of the deal, both Memphis and Cleveland agree to renounce their rights to the Grizzlies 2015 1st Rd pick.

Grizzlies: Get a heavily protected 2nd round pick from Washington (unlikely they get it)

Cavaliers: Get their 2016 2nd Rd pick back (currently held by the Celtics)


Boston gets Waiters to add to it's new backcourt trio ( Smart, Bradley, Waiters) & picks to compensate them for giving up Green & Zeller (including another 2015 1st Rd pick!!)

Cleveland gets its rim protector which they can re-sign next year, along with a veteran SF in Prince to help their defense/offense.

Grizzlies get Green to start at SF! (Back w/ his boi Courtney Lee!!) & Zeller to replace Koufos as backup Center.

The only flaw I see in the trade is for Cleveland. Might ask for Beno Udrih (2 years left on his deal) and another 2nd Rd pick for giving up Waiters (2 years left of his rookie deal). Only because they are getting Koufos & Prince who both expire. Maybe they can agree to an extension with Koufos to dead the issue??!

Let me know what you guys think!
