I am sorry to say it but we need to trade JJ....he is keeping us in games and jeopardizing our tanking all the way to a guaranteed top 4 pick.

So wise it was worth quoting.

Glen's injury just seemed to start the death spiral. Time to start a bidding war for JJ. Try and dump Afflalo too for picks and shorter contracts.

What about something like this?

 

Magic out- Afflalo, Nelson

In- Rondo, Fab Melo

 

Celtics out- Rondo, Melo

In- Monta Ellis, Darren Collison

 

Bucks out- Ellis, Dalembert

In- Afflalo, Kaman

 

 

Mavs Out- Collison, Kaman

In- Jameer, Dalembert

 

 

Orlando gets an Allstar PG with a reasonable contract to continue to build around and a young big to develop. Magic also can resign Redick and he would get a ton of open looks in a backcourt with Rondo.

 

Celtics get a go to scorer in ellis and a serviceable PG in Collison.

 

Bucks get a solid/cheaper replacement for ellis(who will most likely walk after this season) and add size the backcourt to pair with Jennings, also a solid big on an expiring deal.

 

Mavs get a good pg in Jameer(Mavs have been desperate for PG help) & a solid big to replace Kaman.

Doesn't seem to help anyone but us in my opinion. Although I really don't rate Ellis so I could see why the Bucks would do it.

AA and Glen are not that old. Is it just me, but I think they can be part of our long term plans. I dont think we should try to axe them. They are both solid players. I do think we must decide between redick or AA. But I think AA is the better defender and the player we should keep. His contract is reasonable and he attacks the bucket. We could trade JJ and get some picks. If neslon was a bigger point, JJ could slot next to him, but Nelson is not and we have him for 1 (2 maybe) more years.

 

By Having Nick, AA, and Baby, we can focus on sf and pg prospects. Versus, trying to find a whole new team. Unless we land a good lottery pick (like the thunder's raptor pick), I would keep AA.

Trade JJ for an unprotected 2014 pick. Also like the Bradley idea.

JJ attended Justin Bieber's concert, if that isn't worthy of a trade I don't know what is.

Here we go...

Welcome to Orlando, Rajon! Meer and Redick, we love you and wish you the moon!

 

Here's the question, Orlando fans: would you want to trade for Rondo now that he has a torn ACL? Seriously? If they offered us the above trade ... plus their first rounder this year or next, would you do it? (Obviously we'd dump all but Rondo and Fab).

 

I find it an interesting opportunity. Whether they want to accept it or not, Boston is committed to winning now. They have serious money tied up for the next couple of years (http://www.basketbal...tracts/BOS.html). Adding these three players would at least keep them in the hunt. (I'd rather include AA instead of JJ).

 

For Orlando, it would allow us to stash away a young borderline all-star, let us secure another pick, and help in our tanking effort for the next one to two years.

 

What say you?
