Will Bass and Thornton get traded by the deadline?

[Tr1boy]

With Smart starting at the pg position and ET/Crowder doing an ok job at the SF spot, I know Prince will be either traded or bought out by the trade deadline.

But what about Bass and Thornton? Both guys are have done a very good job coming off the bench.  Thornton is still only a 87 born and could grow with this team.   Bass is nearing 30 but in great shape and a very good pro. 

Surprised actually there has not been more of a demand for these two in the trade market. 

Can Thornton and Bass together bring back the Celts a 1st round pick?

What are the chances Danny extends/signs both to a 2 year 10 million dollar deal?

[BitterJim]

I think Thornton's contract is a bit tired obit for us to get rid of without taking on a bad contract (likely with more years on it) in return (likely in exchange for a first)

Bass, in the other hand, should draw some interest, but it will all come down to what Danny wants for him and what contracts teams would be sending us in return (ie expirings, player options, nonexpirings)

Overall, I'd say Bass is 50/50 to be traded and Thornton has a 1 in 10 chance of being traded

I don't think we will get any value for either of those guys. THe offers for those players will be guys with multiple years left on their contract. I'd rather have the cap space.

Bass and Thornton for
Gallinari, Hickson and Gary Harris.

Hickson, Sully, Olynyk and Zeller is a nice front court with Harris/Gallinari giving us more offense.

This could helps us out for a playoff run.

A  team like OKC if they want an edge for the playoffs would trade for one of both of these guys. Bench would be boosted. Not sure if teams will be willing to give up a 1st even for both. But maybe a Zeller like prospect that has no position with the team

Some trade ideas

To OKC: Bass, Thornton
To Celtics: Lamb,  Perkins (waived)

Lamb has alot of DNP recently, especially with the arrival of Waiters. Lamb has never been given a proper chance with OKC.     A good chance Bass, Thornton are not part of the Celtics future and at least you get a young cheap contract like Lamb.

not likely Denver gives up Gallo and Harris also. But I like where your going with this.  I like Hickson and he has not been playing at all these days

To Nuggets: Thornton, Bass
To Celtics: Hickson, Foye, Arthur , 2nd round pick

Foye and Arthur bought out after trade

I think Prince is gone for sure...Thornton is 60/40 gone...and Bass will be kept and re-signed in off season.

[Csfan1984]

Hope not I want the cap space and workman leadership during this year. Even keep Prince for same reasons.

A different idea is if they move AB because Young has more potential at the 2. Also moving Sully as there are a lot of quality bigs in this year's draft. That would in essence help the tank more and net Cs better returns. Core is Smart, Young and Zeller right now. Everyone else is cap space or assets to me.

I rather keep Prince than Bass

- Here's a breakdown of the market.  Seems to be a lot more sellers than buyers which should be expected with some deals for contenders already done.

- No chance we're getting a first for a package of Bass & Thornton.

- Reggie Jackson from OKC seems like the most likely trade since he's out of favor and OKC is facing paying the tax.

Good article with those on the block. I think Thornton and Bass Could help a contender pull out some extra games. As Tight as the west is i think some trades will go down.

I hope we keep BB. All he do is ball.

Reggie Jackson rumors are hot right now. Build a team around him?  Not sure.

I am surprised there is not more interest in Bass and Thornton. Both expiring, Bass can help the front court of any number of playoff teams (like GSW) and always good to have another sharpshooter like Thornton in the playoffs.

[SHAQATTACK]

I think Danny has been shopping Bass for two solid years .

Nobody's nibbling the Bass deal.....old rotten small mouth bass

.....sweeten the pot ..buy a Bass ...get your next two scrubs for FREE

Thornton and ET .......

Giant blowout .......call it the "tanker special"

[Smitty77]

Bass or Prince to the Bucks.  They have almost enough cap room to absorb them, but would have to cut one small salary to make it doable.

Thoughts?
