And who the f--k is Faverani and will we even know he was ever in the NBA two years from now?

And we will not take back Wallace's contract. I agree, Ainge will make them go together and he will probably get that deal from somebody. But Green and Rondo are not worth taking his contract. Maybe, maybe I'd think about it without Monroe - so Green, Rondo and Wallace for Jennings and exprirings.

I don't think Jennings and the expiring deals are enough to get it done. But I also think we will loose Monroe at the end of the season any way. I have a feeling he is going to get a max contract offer and I do not think he is worth it and the Pistons should not match it. So I was looking to get something in return. I just do not believe Monroe, Smith, and Drummond experiment is going to work. All three are best when playing down low and none of them can guard a true SF on the perimeter. One of the three either needs to get traded or Monroe needs to come off the bench. If we do this, it makes the team better in terms of match ups and spacing, but Monroe will not be happy. Either way we need a Small Forward who can shoot the three and defend the opposing SF.

But, I like how it immediately removes Jennings from the team.

Detroit out: C.V., Monroe, Stuckey , and Jennings.

Boston out: Green, Rondo, Wallace, and Faverani.

Why for Detroit: Jennings and Rondo are just about even value with a slight edge in Rondo's favor, Monroe is better than Green due to age, position, and potential but it is not a huge gap. Stuckey and C.V. are exp. contracts that don't fit here. Faverani is looking to be a good backup center prospect. Wallace will be included in ANY trade involving Rondo period. It is a gamble in that Rondo is an unknown injury wise. But if it takes him longer than expected to come back we end up in the lotto and potentially keep our pick, if not, we make playoffs.

Why for Boston: This depends on if Boston is looking to tank hard. if so this is the type of deal that can help in that department and still "look" like they are trying to improve. The front office can spin the story as trying to get younger, the old "by the time we are competitive again Green and Rondo will be to old for our core" and "this is a trade for our future" ect...

Detroit becomes:

PG: Rondo, Siva, Bynum

SG: KCP, Billups, Singler

SF: Green, Wallace, Datome, Jerebko

PF: Smith, Harrellson, Datome, Mitchell

C; Drummond, Faverani, Harrellson, Mitchell

WTF?

Also, what happened with Jennings all of a sudden that everyone hates him? He's averaging almost the exact same amount of assists, as Billups did his best year(8.4 vs 8.6).

Jennings is only 24, and guess where Billups was at age 24? Being a draft bust in Minnie still. His shooting could use work, but Billups at 24 was utter **** as well.

I wouldn't move Jennings right now, for anything. I want to see what he can become, because everytime we have a PG, that gets a lot of assists we end up with a title.

Boston would not laugh at this offer, they would do it in a damn second, because Rondo is INJURED and without all the big name talent, who knows what he will be like. They are not stupid.

We just created this team, and are going to roll with it for at least a year, so get used to it. We need better shooting from our guards, and better defensive coaching from our coach, and this team will get a lot better.
