If we end up in the lottery, I hope we make a trade for a big man. This is probably a pipe dream unless we have a top 5 pick, but I'd ship the pick, Jefferson and Green to Toronto for Bosh.

for Toronto its somewhat appealing because as great as Bosh is, their team is still in the cellar and very much still in rebuild mode - more so than Boston. They'll likely have a top lottery selection. The trade essentially gives them two top ten picks, a young high potential big man in Jefferson and the dream that Green could turn into the tmac they let slip away. Not to mention, they eliminate the worry of having to sign Bosh to a max deal at the end of next season.

Boston makes this trade because Bosh is the real deal. As much as I love the potential of Green and Jefferson, they both could turn out to be All Stars someday - they still are the great unknowns and at least two years away from reaching that potential, where as Bosh is without question a top five big man in the east next season, if not already.

Boston's lineup

West, Greene, Dickau
Pierce, Allen
Wally, Gomes
Bosh, Scalabrine
Perkins, Raef
with a free agent and a second round pick filling out the roster spots

looks DAYUM good

like I said - it was a pipe dream

I'm not too high on this draft and even if there were some young studs in it, I'd still be unethusiastic for the Celts because I think our weakness right now is our big men and game ready ones, not potential NBA starters

I think shopping the pick for veteran front court quality is the right move. Time to shy away from the youth movement.

If Rudy Gay is still available whenever it is that we pick, then I see no reason why anyone would pass him up.

**whiterhino** · 03-05-2006, 07:42 AM

I like Gay & Aldridge.......I don't select my picks usually based on need because that's too often how great players get passed over. I'd take 1 of those guys if they were on the board and then after them I favor Splitter then Morrison.

I've seen alot of Rudy Gay over the last month and I'm beginning to think that he is very overrated. He's the 4th or 5th best player on his own team and certainly not the most important.

And what is Marvin Williams doing right now? If this hypothetical situation were to occur the last thing we need is more potential.

, that'd be sweet.

Actually, if we do end up with a 7th/8th or better pick (that'd be sweet also), I think that the offer of Jefferson + Green + pick would be really hard to refuse.

EDIT: The thing that would really suck is keeping Bosh, Perkins and West here.
If we give Bosh his max (he won't be getting anything less) and Perk and West around 6 million (about the MLE) we'd be looking at a 61 million dollar comitment.

P2TheTruth34 · 03-05-2006, 12:37 PM

I feel retarded posting this but If we were to ever do this trade for Bosh we mine as well try to ship away Wally, just to get a cheaper player who could fill in and stroke 3s like Kyle Korver.
