Official Trade Thread, Part 2

[Cutter]

His contract has a team option for the 2013-14 season and I'm pretty sure that Phoenix will decline it. So he has basically an expiring contract next season. Or did I understand you wrong?

No you correctly understood my poorly worded reply to your post .

[Ghost of Kleine]

Absolutely.

I wouldn't mind trading Morris it's an upgrade though.

Jujaun johnson perhaps,And bostons'#21pick? I only say this because jujuan johnson is also 6'10, Very mobile and athletic and pretty good defensively.

I'd say he's slightly better than kieff athletically and his jumpshot is much better! He just needs to fill out more. And we could always use that pick for the rebuild!

And therein lies his best value as a trade asset for us! Maybe gortat and warrick (expiring)to toronto for calderon(don't want him!!!) but would give us a $10 million expiring after next season, And more importantly the #5 pick in the draft! to potentially take drummond, beal, barnes,or rivers.And of course we still have our pick!


I think toronto would do it to put a consistent and productive defensive rebounding center next to bargnani, to let them do their own twin towers thing and all! Also finally rids them of calderons' contract, while allowing them to start bayless now.

And theoretically, With both gortats and warricks' salary going out, that's about 10 million or so? right? so taking calderon back wouldn't really add to our salary! Only the cost of the #5 pick! about what 3-5 million or so? not too terribly bad for our first top 5 lotto pick in a damn deep draft. But real question is who would we choose to take at #5 if we did this?

So after you named all these reasons for us to do it, why would Boston do it?

Cause deep down, they feel pretty bad about taking advantage of our inept front office when they took rondo from us! And they want to make it right! They just get a sudden crisis of conscience! .

No, really though, we'll probably have to just do a sign and trade. One where we take back a mid to small and fairly equitable contract! That and maybe ray allen! j/k! of course.

Honestly in hindsight, kieff fits their style of play much better than he fits our right now, as he is a slower,more rough and tough defensive bruiser type of player.

kinda like a poor mans' rasheed wallace. And johnson has decent and developing post moves, but is also better suited for a team that plays at a faster pace too. consistent to his mobility,explosiveness, defensive capabilities in the open court,etc?

But in the end, they both are underused 2nd unit defensive bigs whose teams are not quite sure how much potential each has yet! I just feel johnson with his athletic ability fits our open court style much better.

And kieff would fit the celts slower pace,half court bruising style post play! And would be a noteworthy compliment next to garnett at times. You never know.

Interesting article by Paul Coro

"Aging free agents such as Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups and Antawn Jamison are not rebuilding material, but maybe Gerald Wallace, Elton Brand, Mo Williams and Jason Terry are transition material"
