Krilenko / Ray Allen trade
Posted: Tue May 19, 2009 1:51 am
Boston trades / Utah receives:
Ray Allen
Glen "Big Baby" Davis (S&T)
2012 #1 Pick (top 5 protected)
Utah trades / Boston receives:
Andrei Kirilenko
Ronnie Brewer
Jarron Collins (S&T)
Why this trade works for Boston:
The Big 3 are past their prime. Although Allen had an excellent year this year, he is the most logical to be dealt as Pierce will most likely retire a Celtic and they cannot replace KG's size and intensity. With this trade, the C's acquire Kirilenko who is a bit overpaid, but would become yet another key Celtics 6th man. They also acquire Brewer who is an adequate rotation player and would inject some youth into the starting lineup. Collins is cap filler. Their new lineup:
PG...Rondo...Marbury
SG...Brewer...T. Allen
SF...Pierce...Kirilenko
PF...Garnett...Powe
C...Perkins...Collins
Why this trade works for Utah:
Ray Allen is a champion. His experience and toughness are exactly what Utah needs to get to the next level. He would bring the shooting needed to space the floor on pic and rolls with Boozer and Millsap. And, he would be a terrific mentor for their SG of the future (CJ Miles). Big Baby showed during the playoffs that he is a very good player and would fit nicely into their starting unit. Their new lineup:
PG...Williams..Knight
SG...Allen...Miles
SF...Davis...Korver
PF...Boozer...Millsap
C...Okur...Koufos
