CELTICS-HAWKS BLOCKBUSTER (TRADE IDEA)

[CsBanner18]

In my opinion, Ainge will try everything in his power to get Al Horford, WITHOUT including Thomas, Smart, Crowder, Bradley, & Olynyk. I believe every other Celtic is on the table...


I think trading for Horford would constitute us giving up:


1) A filler(s): Lee, Amir, Jerebko, Turner, and/or Zeller

2) 1 or two young players (Sully or younger)

3) A pick or two

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my idea:

TO ATL: Lee, Sully, Rozier, Young
            DAL 2016 1st
            MIN 1st

TO BOS: Horford, Korver, Mack

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's my rationale:

- Yes Horford is on an expiring contract...BUT that doesn't mean we can low ball ATL for him.

- Sully is also on an expiring contract--BUT is a good YOUNG player who the Hawks can lock up w/ a long term contract after this season

- Rozier gives ATL another young PG who can backup Schroder if/when Teague is traded

- Young is a 20 y.o wing who is still improving his game. In ATL, he'd get more playing time in the near future

- Lee is a filler & the picks are to sweeten the deal + provide the Hawks with and incentive to make this deal.


Korver would become RJ Hunter's mentor. We could explore trading Korver in the offseason or even Bradley (only in a deal for an upgrade at another position--Favors?) to open up minutes for RJ next season. I would inquire about Favors ONLY IF we don't get KD...

Mack's contract is non-guaranteed next year. I'd say keep him until we make a decision of Turner in the offseason

 Nice. So we get Horford for basically nothing! If only it were that easy grasshopper.

So basically you're calling Sully, Rozier, Young, the DAL 1st, & the Minny 2nd--Nothing? Give me a break!!
