Pretend you're Danny. Assume that other teams will trade with us for similar assets to what we received in real life. Further assume that Wyc will only pay the luxury tax for a contender. What do you do?
1. Celtics trade Brown, Zeller, Young, 2018 Nets pick for DeMarcus Cousins, Omri Casspi
2. Celtics trade Jerebko, 3 seconds for P.J. Tucker
Horford / Amir
Cousins / KO / Casspi
Crowder / Tucker
Bradley / Smart / Gerald
Thomas / Rozier
We'd still have the 2017 Nets pick plus the MEM and LAC #1s. We'd also have Bird rights to Amir, KO, Tucker and Casspi. Next season, trade Crowder, Bradley and the signed Nets pick for Paul George.
Horford / Amir / Zizic
Cousins / KO / Yabu
George / Tucker / Casspi
Smart / Gerald
Thomas / Rozier / Jackson
We'd have a deep championship with three All-NBA level players.
