Nets Trying To Get Both Pierce & Garnett

They'd become contenders. This has to happen!!!

Three first round picks is awesome for the Celts. They can also make the playoffs next year.

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Crawford/Lee
Green/Wallace
Humphries/Sullinger
Dieng/Melo

good luck with that especially since they are in the same division.

Does KG care about the Nets being in the same division? I can understand not wanting to play for Miami given their ongoing rivalry but the Nets have been a fairly irrelevant team for the past 6 or 7 years.

The issue is that Brooklyn is not winning anything next year, why pack up your bags when you can just lose in Boston?

Really? That starting lineup is pretty damn good.

And all he had to do was trade the ROTY for him to have a two month try out

yeah, the first thing that came to mind when I saw this trade was just how many first round picks the Nets would have given up to acquire Pierce and Garnett and the end of their careers

A new roster, with a 1st year coach who has zero experience. Good luck with that

I can see this happening:

Assistant GM: Danny are you insane?? This deal is horriawuful! Gerald Wallace????!!

Ainge: Relax! It's a great deal, I can easily just amnesty him. I've already agreed to the trade, the NBA is going to approve it.

Assistant GM: Danny... you can't amnesty him...

Ainge:

That coach also happens to have one of the best basketball minds EVER.

Looks like a win-win to me. BK becomes contenders and it helps Celtics rebuild.

Celtics make Wallace their #1 option = winning 2014 lottery.

Those picks arent too bad, but taking on Gerald Wallace's contract is just disgusting.

I don't understand why KG and Pierce won't go to the bulls. Now THAT would be a good trade for both teams (bulls parting with some picks etc.)

nets will look like a team made in nba 2k.

I'd be down for that...

We have better picks too. Bobcats in 2016 unprotected, this years 20th pick, the rights to Mirotic (who would be a top 3 pick in this draft). Plus better players in terms of filling salary.

Please let this happen, please.

Hard to imagine Jason Kidd doing a poor job as a coach. He's universally respected in NBA circles and he is obviously going to be able to relate to the modern player. He knows the game. He's intelligent, well spoken, and he's poised under pressure. I think Kidd will be an excellent coach.

And obviously, having KG and Pierce there in the huddle would make his job that much easier. I'm a Celtics fan, so I don't want to see this trade happen, but if it did I'd say the Nets would have a chance to be pretty dominant.

Does Billy King know that Pierce will be 36, and Garnett 37 when the season starts?

And that he hired a first time coach?

VinBaker6 · Post #33 » by **VinBaker6** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 5:43 pm

Nets would be insane if that happened.

Or be Lakers 2.0

The nets would significantly improve with this supposed trade, any gm would be dumb not to do it.

I doubt it happens, though, unfortunately.

This lineup will not get the Celtics into the Playoffs IMO.
