got it from hoops hype.

it's a rumor, calm down son.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Tevez is right didn't they have the raptors trading Andrea Bargnani to Dallas or something ridiculous that neither team would do?

This trade is stupid and does not make sense for either team.

You basically swap your only PF to have the option of playing two SG's

at least someone gets it.

it doesn't make any sense at all. they'd be runnin/gunnin all night with no legitimate big man in the middle. Rondo's no back-up neither.

Delete this thread.

everyone whose saying it doesnt make sense are not looking at the big picture.
real talk.

celtics starting 5

pf- kg / amare
sf- paul pierce
sg- eddie house

off the bench,
big baby and perkins

suns starting 5
c- shaq
pf- amundson/ lopez
sf- j-rich
sg- ray ray
g- rondo

off the bench,
nash, hill and barnes...

nash would not be coming off the bench. thats theres def. going to be a team that'll make good offers for him, and they're most likelygoing to bring in a center/pf. the problem with this team is that it is WAY too old. shaq+hill+rayray? isnt jason almost past his prime too?

boston's front court looks scary as hell. aint no team messing with them down low, even with amare's horrible defense.
with the 14th pick, they can pick up a guard/swing. maybe pick up felton off free agency, or whoever, or maybe even resign steph for a small amount.

 

[th0mas cr0wn]

I will say though


that Boston front-line would be ferocious

Amare&KG? and Perkins/Hmo-baby backing them up?

Barbosa&PP as the back court doesn't seem THAT bad either


Hmm...

I can see this maybe working out but it's it would be a risk for Boston to get rid of their starting PG and a risk for Phoenix because they better have aplan in place to get a replacement PF.

 

[burns1923]

Read this rumor on realgm last night.

Bad deal for both teams.

Celtics would lose a top 10 pg and top 5 shooter who work very well in their system and the Suns would lose a top 5 pf, a valuable scorer off the bench and adraft pick.

Well, Sarver might end up selling the pick but still, not a good trade.

However, the Shaq to Chicago for Deng and someone else rumor is intriguing...

[mercutio]

That's the stupidest trade for Boston.

 

[dunkfan84]

wow thats amazing.!

 

[jaysfan24]

That would be a huge trade. Rondo is bound for breakout season though and the phoenix players are proven. Phoenix needs another big though.

I really couldn't see them trading Rondo after the playoffs he just had. Barbosa is a downgrade for them. And as it was said before, they have plenty ofyoung big men...I'll be shocked if this happens

 

[kingofny04]

Doubt this is going to go through.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

The Celtics wouldn't even consider a big trade, especially since a huge part of their team was injured during their playoff run. They're not theEastern Conference team that needs to make changes right now.

LOCK IT UP, no question
