I think you mean best thing since sliced bread?

Or do you mean the best trade idea since the idea of trading for sliced bread?  (i.e. best trade idea since Kevin Love)
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

This.....A for effort.

The actual execution is a different matter.

I love this idea. Give me Rondo and Belinelli.

Hey guys,

Thank you very much for your reply and comments.

I don't care about overpaying for both player. We have sooo many draft picks. So many good players who needs playing time. You have to overpay to get stars in this league usually.

What do you want us to do then ? Release Turner, Jerebko, Lee and Amir during the offseason and draft 4 players ?

So from what I've read you think I'm overpaying for Gallinari.

And underpaying for Boogie.
For that reason I can edit my offer and add another brooklyn pick (2018) and replace J.Young by RJ.Hunter. I would even throw something else if needed. I could also switch Amir and D.Lee from Den to SAC to bonify the SAC deal.

The goal is easy. Having a championship caliber team that you can control for 4-5 years.

That's my best option.

I see nearly no weakness on that team. I would like to hear your basketball analysis about why that team wouldn't work instead of joke about trading slice bread (you loved the pun, don't try to hide it)

The dynamic of the offense would be coming from spreading the floor with stretch 4 (Olynyk, Jerebko, Crowder) and even a stretch 5 with boogie now shooting 3's and Olynyk playing  some minutes at the 5 too.

Having a bunch of good 3 pts shooters in AB, Hunter, Smart, Gallinari, Crowder, Olynyk, Jerebko, Boogie, Bellinelli would be perfect for Rondo to set up open shots or drive to the basket.

Turner can play the PG spot at the end of games if your scared of FT issues late in 4th quarter. Turner is gold in clutch time.

There's no beef up front now except Cousins ?

I don't agree Cousins plays heavy minutes and Olynyk wouldn't get pushed around playing most of his minutes at the 4 besides Cousins.

You can also play Jordan Mickey with the logjam at the 4 dismantled.

What is it that people see in bringing in Rondo and Cousins?

Well many things. But I don't see Rondo & Boogie doing what they want like in SAC with the structure in place in Boston with Ainge/Stevens and players like AB/Crowder and Smart on the roster.

With a roster like that :
PG- Rondo, Smart, Rozier
SG- Bradley, Turner, Hunter
SF- Gallinari, Crowder, Bellinelli
PF- Olynyk, Jerebko, Mickey
C- Cousins, Zeller

You go with an 8-man rotation. The starters plus Smart, Crowder and a little bit of Turner or Jerebko. The bench is still deep when needed.

I'm sure Stevens would do wonder with those players.
