Harrison Barnes trade to Celts idea

[Tr1boy]

To GSW: Zeller, Sully, Jerebko, Young, Bradley, 1st round pick, (non lotto), 2nd round pick

To Bos: Barnes, Bogut, Clark, McAdoo

It is way too much to me and I believe GSW will not be willing to part with Bogut. He is worth way more to them than in a trade to us. Why break up a brilliant starting 5?

Another aspect - GSW would like to stay in the play for Durant. They can practically only do sign-and-trades and Barnes is a very good starting point for such - young, plays the same position, good potential.

A wish we could, but it is not happening.

I don't see Durant as a feasible target for the Dubs, considering they still have to pay Steph Curry.

+1
But just wait someone will say the cap is rising like there's an infinite amount of cap and $.

Well usually when we talk about the salary cap rising around here it has to do with the dollar amount we can throw at a player.

In Golden State's situation it has much more to do with the percentage of the cap a player like Durant would take up and how that would affect the kind of percentage/salary they'd be able to offer Curry, who is still on his 4/$11 mill. deal from 2012.

[Csfan1984]

I feel the Warriors would be losing too many key guys. Bogut and Barnes can't both be traded. Barnes may be traded if he wants a mega contract. Reports are he did turn down 16 per. AB being included in a deal for Barnes is interesting. Would Warriors go AB, Curry, Klay, together and AB take the tougher of the guards to defend? That would help Curry but puts Klay up against some tough opponents at the 3.

I still like Sully, Turner, PJ3, Dallas and C's 2016 1st for Barnes.

I fully agree. They have to budget.

Note that a trade for Harrison Barnes likely means a tacit agreement to pay him more than $16 mil a year for the next four years after his current contract expires.

why pay so much for barnes? when crowder is almost identical in stats besides 3pt shooting. just to have a deeper bench.

and keep in mind crowder didnt play much at all in DAL

Have you watched Barnes play? The guy is showing very high potential. Crowder ain't on his level.

Barnes always reminded me of Jeff Green. I can see him running a similar path as JG, flashy at times then disappears.

[pearljammer10]

This trade is ridiculous.

I agree but taking a back seat to so many established stars and former stars at his age should be factored in. JG was given the reins and he chose not to do anything. Best guess is Barnes is /lands somewhere between Leonard and Green.

He's financially feasible even with Curry's new deal looming, but it would require shipping off much of their vaunted depth and make them really top-heavy. Very similar to the Heat's Big 3 Era, except they wouldn't likely see the sustained success because, hey, they play in the West.

I guess I had to put the part about sign-and-trade in bold to be read.
