TOR/BOS Simple Swap

[jalenrose#5]

Toronto Trades:

PG Marcus Banks
Future Second Round Pick 2011

Boston Trades:

SF/PF Brian Scalabrine
SF Bill Walker

Why for BOS?

With the injury to Rondo, and really a lack of a backup point guard, I think Banks' game may fit in well with the Celts. He's a ball hawk of defence and can create for his teammates. He's a team player and would provide the Celts with a veteran backup point so House can play off the ball more.

Rondo/Banks/Hudson
Allen/House/Allen
Pierce/Daniels/Giddens
Garnett/Davis/Williams
Perkins/Wallace

Why for Toronto?

Simple, taking out a contract to get more cap space this year. Also acquiring Bill Walker is just another young guy they can stash away in the D-league. Again, it's a low risk pickup just to make salaries match.

Jack/Calderon
DeRozan/Belinelli/Walker
Turkoglu/Weems/Wright
Bosh/Evans/Scalabrine/Pops
Bargnani/Johnson/Rasho

id rather not give up the pick even if it was 2nd round so no

we can trade banks next year when he has some value

Are you high? Expirings for Banks and all you add is a second?

Banks is terrible, we know, we drafted him. Celtics certainly won`t pay 10 million (with tax) next season for a guy who wouldn`t even play...
