Premium Member mrhonline Posted May 23, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Boston's offer at this point is likely: #5, Green, Theo (expiring contract) The Hawks' offer should be #3, Zaza, Lue, Childress You can say what you want about Gasol's defense, but he's going to be a better center than Zaza any day of the week because he can at least alter shots. #3 > #5 Zaza > Theo Lue + Childress > Green The question is - do you think that's too much for Gasol?

Seano Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Quote: The question is - do you think that's too much for Gasol? I do. I'm pretty much all set with Gasol. I'd just as soon keep our picks- or if we're bound and determined to trade, look in another direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncthompson11 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 should either change the #3 to #11 or drop childress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfwolf Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 If we could pull off #3, Zaza, and Lue for Pau, that would be huge. A lineup of Conley/Law, JJ, Marvin, Josh Smith, and Gasol with Childress off the bench would be sweet. Does it work in the trade machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 If the Celtics really want Yi then maybe the Hawks could trade the 3 pick for Al Jefferson. This would give them a young post presence. It would force them to make some other moves because Jefferson is definitely a power forward, but it would be something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member AtLaS Posted May 23, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 After the season Jefferson had, he's not a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I seriously doubt they would part with Jefferson. He is a stud that they are building around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Quote: After the season Jefferson had, he's not a possibility. That is why I think Boston has a good long-term outlook despite getting punked in the lottery. If Jefferson continues to develop he will be devestating down low, especially with shooters like Pierce and Green and a penetrator like Rondo.

Packfill Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I agree, I don't think they would trade Jefferson (it would be foolish). But, if Ainge really wants Yi or someone else . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmund Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 If someone wants to move up, they are going to have to pay. Any team that wants to move up must take Claxton. #3 / Claxton / Childress / Zaza for #4 / Gasol "No? Fine..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 If anyone wants the 3rd pick of the draft, we have to demand premium price for it. Unless its for a guy like Gasol or something of that ilk, I wouldn't budge one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmund Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Although I will say that Gasol might make a little too much for us considering what Smith is going to want. Is JJ/Smith/Gasol a good enough core to win big with? The million dollar question is.....what is Marvin worth? If the BPA is our direction with our 1st pick and it is a forward, we have to find a way to turn Marvin into something logical for the roster.
