I'm sure Bogans has already agreed in principle to a deal.

Classy move by Celtics if this deal goes down and good for rebuilding.
So your just going to give up on the C's lmao?
Of course not, but I like playoffs and when Boston isn't there ill enjoy watching PP and KG go at the Heat one last time.

It can't be, yet. Need to wait till July 10th.
But since Bogans is extremely unlikely to do better than 1 year $4 mil, the teams can be confident in structuring the deal.
I/K that but I was under the assumption that S&T can't be combined with other players

You guys want to trade the friggin core and start with NOTHING but draft picks that are at best 50-50 chances of being complete BUSTS? Holy crap..the amount of faith people put in draft picks is amazing. They would rather get those than proven talent.
I for one hope Rondo is our Wade, Humpries, Lee, Bass, Wallace are our cap space makers for LeBron and Bosh and the draft picks are our Dexter Pittmans and Norris Cole's. If we are banking on a 2018 pick to be good to help our franchise we are screeeeweddd.

we are stuck with that Wallace contract
I could see Ainge offering Wallace and a 1st round pick for a couple of 2nd round picks to a team and someone going for it.

Because we are going all in to suck so we have a real chance at Wiggins next year. That is all it could be. It could with us having Wallace on our team we will suck bad for the next 2 years at least.

I personally have no problem with them leaving to play for contenders, but it's incredibly hypocritical of KG to treat Ray the way he did when he'd go on to do essentially the same thing a year later.

Wallace's contract is the only part I don't like (not that I "like" trading these guys at all), but the fact is, with KG's reticence to leave, he doesn't have a lot of options. I thought Boozer's contract was bad, but I'd rather have one less year, ditto with Jordan. (They don't seem emotionally unstable like Wallace either as a bonus.)
What Danny has to do after this, is find a way to move Bass and Lee. Really hoping Lee to Minnesota or something like that. Maybe Bass to Utah. We need more cap flexibility.

Why would Bogans turn down $3 mil extra? He hasn't made enough money to leave that much on the table to chase a ring.

It is clear the plan at this point is full blown rebuild with an eye of becoming competitive after the 2014/15 season. There is a salary floor, so you have to pay someone. Who cares if that guy is Gerald Wallace? You will have $15m in expiring between Wallace and Lee during the 2014/15 season. Very useful when trying to acquire and all star with all the assets we will have.
