"Rumor": Celtics might trade Josh for Brandon Bass

[Admin]

No flipping way this is even possible unless we're paying Bass like $15 million a season and yeah that's not happening.

http://www.celticslife.com/2012/06/celtics-exploring-deals-for-josh-smith.htmlAccording to CSNNE's Sherrod Blakely, the Celtics are looking to acquire Josh Smith from the Hawks in exchange for Brandon Bass in a sign-and-trade, and have also re-opened the door to OJ Mayo negotiations:

LMAOOh, Boston media you can always amuse us with your homer wishes and dreams.

Silly season in full affect

I suppose in fairness "include" could mean as a minor part of the deal to make salaries match where we are picking up multiple picks, etc. as the real driver for the deal but it is hard to see a deal that is a logical fit with Boston.

I don't believe that you can add extra players if you're SnT a FA though, can you?

I'd have to have Rondo and three first rounders unprotected for Smoove. Zero interest in Bass. Who comes up with these kind of trade rumors?

[GameTime]

That is about how much HawkSquawk think he is worth.

I dont even like this one.

throw rondo 21 and 22 in there and our 23 and lets dance

I'm sure Boston would do this deal......Ferry? Not so much.

PLUS Doc Rivers!

Pathetic. Typical elitist attitude, want something for nothing... We need a stud center, not an aging role player.

AHF and his fantasy group of geriatrics might take offense to that!

Another older rumor. Come on internets! Give us something fresh!Ah well. Guess I'll sneak in a nap before the draft, I'll probably need it to make it through another boring outing by the team.

[T21]

How'bout Brad Lohaus for Smoove?!

Hey there's a chance that we WON'T sell our pick tonight so don't sleep too long!

PLUS Doc Rivers!

THAT's the move I'm waitin' for Ferry to make. Bring in Doc to guide a new look Hawks to a champions' parade down Peachtree.

He would have to trade up for Austin Rivers.

[PureGreatness]

Hawks aren't trading Josh tonight or tomorrow so don't get your hopes up or down.

Boston fans would eat JS alive when he hoist up his 3 ptrs
