You don't get the best center in the game for unknowns and marfinal assets

Always the same weak stuff from Boston.

They got top heavy assets for their washed up vets and they want to get the best young C in the NBA for spare parts and role players.

This draft is garbage. If SAC trades Cousins, all want all the future top picks, including all the BK picks. You can keep all those mid to late 1st rounders of this draft. No interest at all.

Any time I see "cut salary" used as justification for participation in a trade I get suspicious.

This is a steal for Boston and Sacramento gets robbed.

Nope. We aren't going to make generalizations like that here. Stick to discussing this topic only please. We have lots of great Celtics fans on this board and you aren't going to lump everyone in one basket. Just like we don't allow all Kings fans to get lumped into one basket.

Cutting salary is value added so it can absolutely be added as a portion of the justification for trades. In fact at last year's deadline the majority of trades made were done primarily for that reason.

Obviously when dealing for a player of magnitude you have to provide considerably more value, but saving salary is a very valid reason for making a trade.

Sure. That's why I said suspicious and not something more like intractably negative.

But a lot of times on this board you see it used as justification for lack of better reasons. And in this case Indiana's in pretty good shape. They'll have $33 million to play with next year. Unless they really think they have a shot at one of the marquee FA's, that should be enough to land them a solid piece or two, or better yet let some of that roll over to 2017 when the cap will go up even more.

To add to Texas Chuck's argument the OP is not even a Celtics fan. He is a Pacers fan like me. He has no interest in screwing up Sacramento and helping Boston. He just wants to find a good trade for Stuckey
