Zeller and James Young. Maybe sweeten the deal with one of our second round picks.

I figured I'd beat someone else to the punch for this trade proposal that I'm sure the Magic would simply be drooling over.

Great FT shooter and great shot blocker. Aside from what the Celtics would give up, what would be the downside of getting him in terms of chemistry and rotation?

Well, given the local train of thought, Young had a good game so he's now untouchable.

Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Maybe if we add a 2nd draft pick (59'5 protected) we can also get Aaron Gordon.

Come on...

Yeah, like some have said above me, Young is untouchable. Did you guys not see the impact that he had against Utah. He showed a steady ability to knock down the 3 ball from behind the break. He is exactly what we need and is a great replacement for Green if he leaves in free agency. Also as of late he has been a defensive stalwart guarding teams best player, as seen when he was guarding Hayward last game.

who said this? please point out when a poster said that here, let alone "local train of thought."

please think before posting such inaccurate and misleading generalizations. it does not contribute to the quality of posting here.

thank you.

You're asking so much. So little time here and I already know some posters because they stereotype themselves post after post.

I'm puzzled about all this talk about Young. Once in a blue moon, he gets enough minutes and has a decent game. Strikes me as trade fodder. Hopefully, his value has gone up lately after showing something in a game.

If we had Ibaka, would you trade  him for Zeller, Young and one 2nd Round Pick?
Somehow, I think we would have to ante up!
Is Ibaka  less valuable that Okafor or Noel?
