BOS/CHA Trade Idea

Ray for Radmanovic, Diaw, Bell, 12-

We get a bench, they get cap flexibility and a "star" scorer.

Other combinations that could work involve Wallace instead of Diaw, and Diop or Nazr instead of Radman/Bell.

Quarter for a dime, a nickel, and a penny.

I don't know whether I support it, but this is a good proposal IMO. I don't care for Radman, but Bell is serviceable and could maybe teach us elements of D'Antoni's offense, DIaw is valuable to us, and we could land another contributor with the #12 pick.

Ray would fit into Charlotte's lineup very nicely, would be expiring, and would give Larry Brown a different (but better) Rip Hamilton.

Bell is a 3-point shooter and a good defender. Diaw is a backup 3/4 (CHA might be more eager to deal Wallace, who'd be an athletic 3; Radman's just filler, Nazr Mohammed would also work to give us another back-up big.

Bell would fit Ray's role better than Ray does, even though Allen is obviously the superior player.

Not sure if the 12 pick is valuable, since we seem interested in a top 5 draftee.

This, but for a couple of dimes (Diaw/Bell), a nickel (the 12th pick), and a penny (Radman).

What'd you rather have in your wallet? 25 cents as a quarter or 26 cents in loose change?

Quality > quantity, in both basketball and spare change.
