TRADE IMMINENT - Rivers, Crawford(???), others?

i would really like someone like crowder. we desperately need players who can just come to the game, play defense, and go home.

but i'd always be wary of dealing with ainge, who seems to have a particularly nasty habit of trying to price gouge on every asset he has. i especially wouldn't trust him when you have someone like doc at the helm but what can you do.

Plus he went to Marquette so you know he can play D

If the Nuggets are trying to dump Chandler and Afflalo, we should honestly be trying to grab both. I'd be more than happy to deal Redick, Crawford, Bullock, etc. if it meant getting both of them.

This may be a stupid question but can Afflalo play the 3?

I would think he could. He isnt overly big tho, only 6'5 215

I wouldn't want him to, but since Jamal plays a lot of 3 now he probably would.

Afflalo would be a vast improvement over Jamal at the 3, however we would still need Barnes (or Chandler) as the main defensive 3 guy.

Cannot think of anything worse than a combo of Robinson and Jamal. They could have chucking competitions with each other.

Forte IV · Post #92 » by **Forte IV** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 2:10 am

Robinson>Farmar. Plus he brings energy.

nickhx2 · Post #93 » by **nickhx2** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 2:14 am

yeah he's better than farmar when you don't already have jamal crawford. which we do.

awful, awful get if we pursue him. i hate to harp on this but we seem to be looking in all the wrong directions right now. team's eying austin rivers, robinson, and the rumor that we might dump bullock?

no confidence at all.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us add Robinson and another guard, then deal Crawford for a wing.

nickhx2 · Post #95 » by **nickhx2** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 2:42 am

that i could get behind.

i don't know how the salaries work but swapping crawford for someone like wilson chandler then putting a robinson at PG where you can actually have a bigger defender at the two would be really nice.

So when is it expected to become official?

Nate's yelling on our bench would help our energy

Nate Rob buyout is complete according to Sam Amick. His 2 latest tweets:

The Celtics have competed the buyout of Nate Robinson, I'm told, after he was traded from Denver yesterday.

Typo on Robinson info. Obviously "completed." Now to see if he can find his way to the Clippers to reunite with Doc Rivers.
