Ray and Rondo to NJ for Kidd?

[ryan in Maine]

Kidd wants out?

[canman1971]

Nope. NJ would never do it.

[EvadedHavoc]

Rather pick up Damon then lose Ray Ray and Rondo.

Also if NJ is trading for anything its for youth.

[ryan in Maine]

I'm all for it. I'd pick up the phone.

What else is NJ going to get for Kidd that's better than one of the best shooting guards in the game and a PG building on a Kidd-type skill set?

[jjwalker]

huh? How can you trade the reason why kg came to boston? this is so stupid. How about scal for kobe?

[ryan in Maine]

I bet KG would've come to Boston to play with Kidd and Pierce.

I'm all for a Scalabrine/Kobe trade.

[Dogen]

Scal for Kobe doesn't work in the trade checker.

Dang. Great idea, though.

[grantlongforpresident]

wouldn't do it.

[sunshinekids99]

Sign me up for the deal. Problem is there is no reason for the Nets to do it.

[Indiana Jones]

panic time!!

[BillessuR6]

This is idiotic!

[dinoz]

Stop the nonsense.

[darrendaye]

Not a chance. No problem with the Ray for Kidd part. But Rondo is more valuable right now than people are giving him credit. At the same time, I agree with others, that NJ has little reason to do it too.

[cfan79]

We need to keep some young players for the future. I love Kidd, but he's only got a few good yrs left.

[Jammer]

In 7 years of RealGM, this is probably the craziest, nuttiest suggestion that I've seen.

[Andrew McCeltic]

CHI trades:
Ben Gordon
Joe Smith
Andres Nocioni

CHI receives:
Ray Allen

NJ trades:
Jason Kidd

NJ receives:
Ben Gordon
Joe Smith
Andres Nocioni

BOS trades:
Ray Allen

BOS receives:
Jason Kidd

[UGA Hayes]

Kidd has been playing like crap. You guys complain about Rondo not scoring wait till you see Kidd.

[Pogue Mahone]

In 7 years of RealGM, this is probably the craziest, nuttiest suggestion that I've seen.

I can easily beat that! I will not be outdone when it comes to far-fetched ideas!

[b]The Skinny[/u]

BOS Get a defender/mid-range shooter to solidify the starting five and make life easier, defensively, for Paul Pierce. Get ball-handling, outside shooting, underrated defender and a legitimate offensive threat swing-player to slot into the sixth man role. Get a back-up PG who can play a little defense, distribute the ball and run the sets. Get a shot-blocking athlete to rotate with the other bigs to maintain the paint. Get wing depth that is expiring.

CHI Defense hasn't been there problem; at least not to the extent that the offense has been atrocious. Get a post player who can actually score and pass. Get a guard that needs the ball in his hands but is a legitimate offensive threat when given those looks. Get forward and center depth, both expiring.

MEM Free up a ton of salary now, ~$9M this season alone, and another $3.2M-$6.6M at the end of the season and set themselves up for a potentially effective free agent haul over the summer. Get a wing scorer who is still young enough to run with the young core. Get two forwards who can spread the floor. Get big man depth.

NJ Potentially shed long-term salary while sacrificing a bit of it in the here and now. Get an offensive wing player. Get a defensive big man to tutor Sean Williams. Get a low-post prospect with some upside and enough 'right now' skills to contribute.

Likelihood Far-fetched but still crazier and nuttier than the other one in this thread.

[Dakid21KG]

give me a break. why are we talking about trading a big piece when we have easily the best record?

This is plain greedy

[threrf23]

Kidd's health is too much of a question mark and Rondo is still developing. And Ray Allen / Rajon Rondo has worked fine for us in the backcourt.

In the offseason, as long as TA has been looking good enough, I would actually consider trying to trade Ray Allen for Jose Calderon, if it was possible.
