Hearing Celts, even before season-worst 7-for-32 shooting from 15+ feet in NYK loss, have ramped up their interest in Magic's J.J. Redick

.....But what do they have that we would want?

EDIT: Then again, they can always help facilitate a 3-way.

Also, is it me, or are they always interested in our former guys? CLee/Pietrus/Bass/and now Redick.....

JJ would fit nice next to rondo. Not sure what the celts could give us though. Fab melo an a 1st could be a start.

Hoopslife · Post #1465 » by **Hoopslife** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:22 pm

Avery and a 1st could probably get it done.

I don't know........he's injured too often for me....

I don't want any of their players on the Magic team so it would have to be 3-way.

Not sure about Bradley, but he is 22 and fits into our rebuild plan better. I'm sure there will be many offers to consider

RYgoBOOM · Post #1469 » by **RYgoBOOM** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:15 pm

What would you guys think about Andre Drummond? Not sure if I'd more like Nik to move to the 4 or if he is more suitable at 5. The pistons already have Monroe at the C spot and it seems like he is most likely there to stay...

Do you guys see drummond as a better option then what the draft would bring in Zeller, Noel, or Len?

his numbers are extremely impressive to me and with more time I could see him as a better DeAndre Jordan. What do you guys think?

Right now at 20 mpg he's at 61% FG, 41% FT"another D12", 7.5ppg, 7.4rpg, and 1.6 bpg with a per of 23!

Him and Nik at the 4 and 5 would be sick moving forward IMO.....throw in that he's only 19 as well.

I don't know but something just screams backup about Bradley.

Everyone here keeps saying that JJ and Afflalo are not good enough and the Magic need a "Star" shooting guard, but I doubt Avery reaches those guys level of play.

NEM · Post #1471 » by **NEM** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:33 pm

From Boston:
Terry
Melo
Barbosa

To Boston:
Redick

From Orlando:
Afflalo
Redick

To Orlando:
Gay
Melo
Barbosa

From Memphis:
Gay

To Memphis:
Afflalo
Terry

I'm sure picks would have to be included somewhere, but what do you think about that trade? Harkless might need to go to Memphis as well. We get a go to scorer, as well as a young big who is already a good shot blocker. Barbara would become our starting two splitting time with Jones and Moore.

Memphis saves ~4 million after already saving 4 million in the Cleveland trade. They also get Terry who can do what mayo was doing for them before. He also adds more scoring. Afflalo gives them another defender to go with Allen and someone else who can score.

Boston gets their shooter to play the Ray Allen role, while getting out of Terry's contract. They would also probably be getting a conditional pick somewhere down the line.

Drummond may be the next big center and is probably quasi-untouchable. If DET were to entertain offers, it'd likely start with our unprotected 2013 pick and Harkless and/or Nicholson to get us in the conversation

trebone · Post #1473 » by **trebone** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:08 pm

Meer/JJ for Rondo/Terry?

Optimus_Steel · Post #1474 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:09 pm

Celtics fans think very highly of Avery and they dont want to give him up.

BadMofoPimp · Post #1475 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:09 pm

Drummon is untouchable. And, Unprotected 2013 pick, Harkless and/or Nicholson won't do it either. They are that high on Drummond.

As far as NEM's trade idea, not bad at all. I would consider that one. Boston may be giving up too much, but you never know. Memphis gets decent return also.

Post #1476 » by **Def Swami** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:14 pm

Rondo or unprotected picks for 2013 or 2014 is all I'd be interested in from Boston.

I think Drummond is untouchable in Detroit.
