    Doesn't say what they are offering? What would you want from Boston. A future pick?

    They have nothing that fits. I'd like a S&T of Joel and Rudy for Ray Allen.

    I can see Boston considering it. Who knows. Joel doesn't sound like he'll be done for the whole year. If he can rehab, and get back by January, he'd be a great big for them off the bench. Him and Perkins would be a pretty formidable defensive presence for them. Rudy isn't going to replace Ray Allen, but he can play a similar role, running around the floor and dropping shots. Give him a 3 year 23 million dollar offer, with the third year a team option. Salary starting at 7. Still have our MLE if needed, as well. And a salary starting at 7 actually pushes our salary lower this season.

    Allen wouldn't come here.

    Avery Bradley?

    Tony Allen is also a free agent, and supposedly courted by the Hated Lakers.

    Right now, I'd say keep everyone. What's the rush? We can wait until
    (a) we actually HAVE A GM, and
    (b) s/he is familiar with our roster

    Of course, if New Orleans calls up and says "we saw how Patty Mills tore up the US in the Olympics, so we're offering Paul for him straight up", then I wouldn't stand in the way of progress. But as that ain't gonna happen...

    He would be a good MLE pick up. Ask BOS for a future first (unprotected! J/K).

    Nice to know Rudy has at least some interest around the league ... but I can't say I see teams offering much for him, given his fairly public desire to get out of Portland.

    The trade works under the Traded Player Exception, not the MLE as far as I can tell.
