Blockbuster trade in the works? Clips/Celts

Trade even involving coaches?

In the rumored trade, which can be found here, the Celtics would receive Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe, with the Clippers getting Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and even head coach Doc Rivers in return.

Horrible trade for LAC. They would have to win the title next year because after that Garnett and Pierce are done. I don't see them winning it all next year either.

If it was going to happen, I think it would have to be before the end of this season because the salaries on the Clips' side would be too much once the 2013/14 season kicks in. Seems like a lot of youth for the Clips to mortgage on a one or two year window.

 

[Natebishop3]

I swear Stephen A. just said he was speaking hypothetically. I don't think there was ever a real rumor.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

That's hilarious! Obviously not a legit rumor.

 

[HailBlazers]

Clippers need to bring in the Zen Master, too bad Sterling is too cheap.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great deal for Celtics. Is Smith a Boston fan?

This would be a huge mistake for the Clippers! I love it!

 

[BBert]

LOL.

This is on par with the KG for Batum/#10 idea as the worst fucking, brain dead suggestion in the history of ever.

Agreed. Hey, do you think there's a way to get Cousins without giving up our big 3?

Simmons said last week that the Wiz are front runners for DMC -- we can easily trump their offer.

What would we give up? Can we do it without giving up LA/Lill/Batum?

What does Sacramento really want. Seems like they want capspace and young assets. We can offer capspace but our best cheap assets are claver and #10 probably not enough to get DMC (I'm assuming they don't want Barnum due to his contract).

Fez wants to trade the pick we get from Detroit for Monroe. So in other words, Aldridge, cap space and #10 for DMC and Monroe.

Aldridge for Cousins/Evans.

Lillard
Evans
Batum
Cousins
Leonard

Matthews as the 6th man. Sign me up.

Leonard is still a ways away. I'd then look to sign Splitter.

 

[BigGameDamian]

So could the Blazers trade Terry Stotts and pick #10 for Eric Bledsoe? The Clippers are going to can Vinny Del Negro ass.

How big a payday does evans want? I can't imagine him taking less then 10 mill off the bat.

He has a year until he is an unrestricted free agent. He is restricted this summer. 10 seems high for his production lately. Probably 9ish though.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Ever since teams started to crowd Evans and making him to take a lot more jumpers he looks pretty mediocre.

lol at run DMC

Hmm if we got a player like Evans it would be nice to have a stretch 4 to put on the field at the same time as him then. Not that i'm a big fan of getting him but just a thought.

 

[Carlito]

I can't believe people actually... believe this crap

Yikes! I can't imagine anyone offering Evans $10M, let alone MORE.
I'd certainly be up for getting Cousins/Evans or Cousins/Monroe. However, I'm ONLY interested in Evans as a 6th man - in no way should he ever be a starter on a team looking to win more games than they lose.

He has that "potential" card that some team with a lot of money that misses out on everyone else is going to stupidly pay close to that.

I just think it's funny that Smith can start throwing shit at a wall, completely hypothetically, and it suddenly becomes a rumor?
