This is based off of a couple posts I have seen on the main page where the Celtics would be trading for Middleton and Monroe, giving up Thomas and other assets to get the deal done.
Here is a simple 2 for 1 idea:
Thomas and Bradley for Middleton.
It works in the trade machine, and could be enticing for both teams. The Bucks would get a solid defensive player in Bradley to replace Middleton at the 2, while Thomas would provide them with some more offense and the ability to stretch the floor.
For Boston, Middleton would slide right into our starting lineup, be locked in for a long term deal, and be an ideal fit for Brad's system. This would also make way for guys like Rozier, Hunter, and Young to start earning minutes in the rotation.
Celtics would be able to start a solid defensive lineup with Smart, Middleton, and Crowder.
Thoughts?
