a1aa0 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'm assuming any deal we do will be giving up Speedy and a pick for: a) expiring contracts b) avg./above avg. PG c) nothing But the real positive will be getting rid of Speedy's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Like I said before YOU KNOW BOSTON WANTS TO MOVE UP. Maybe this China man will get so much hype that we can HOSE Ainge like everyone else does.How about Speedy and pick 3 for Jefferson and pick 5? or maybe one of their young points instead, either Rondo or West.

Duff_Man Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I am thinking that any trade not involving #1 or #2 won't be done by the Celts. Double negative, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Portland and Seattle may trade but it will be with each other. There is no way that either of them is moving out of the top 2 unless the Lakers want to part with Kobe or Miami with Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they would never trade the best player in the NBA for a draft pick! Edit: Sea and Por are no longer in their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1aa0 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Get rid of Speedy to free up room for impressive class of free agents next season... I highly doubt they'd part with Jefferson (as mentioned above)... Although he is in his last year of his contract next season... Perhaps Ratliff or Perkins.. I'm not sure who they value the most between Perkins/Jefferson... Ratliff/Jefferson come off the books after this upcoming season whereas Perkins is signed thru 2010/11... Then we'd have room to sign both Josh's long term and get one of the following: Baron Davis Carlos Arroyo Elton Brand Gilbert Arenas Jason Kidd Jermaine O'Neal Richard Hamilton Shawn Marion Tim Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Man Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'll take any of them but Rip or Arroyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 just about everybody is capped out. I think holding onto some of our players (especially the ones up for extenstions) for another year makes even more sense as opposed to moving them in draft day trades.

a1aa0 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ok, so how do you spend $57 million... Resign: Smoove $11m per Chill $9m per I know we have qualifying offers on those two for 2008/2009, does anyone konw what that means? Drats, $37 million left (assuming qualifying offers are null and void to sign them long term; otherwise we have an additional $12m ($49m total) if we have Smoove at qualifying offer of $3.1m and Chill at $4.8m)... What to do, what to do... Oh, you guys want some money but no one else can pay you quite like we can... How does $20 million per sound? Baron Davis Elton Brand Gilbert Arenas Jason Kidd Jermaine O'Neal Richard Hamilton Shawn Marion Tim Duncan Darn, we still have $17m (possibly $29m) left... No one else on the market can offer you better, well then why don't two of you come on down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
