Would Boston do this???

[Smills91]

If Boston got the #1 pick would they consider this deal????

Kings deal:
Brad Miller
Ron Artest
Mike Bibby

Boston deals:
Theo Ratliff
Wally Szczerbiak
Brian Scalabrine
#1 pick - Greg Oden

New line-ups:

Boston:
C: Brad Miller, Kendrick Perkins
PF: Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Leon Powe
SF: Ron Artest, Tony Allen
SG: Paul Pierce, Gerald Green, Allan Ray
PG: Mike Bibby, Delonte West, Rajon Rondo

Sacramento line-up:
C: Greg Oden, Justin Williams, Theo Ratliff
PF: Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Kenny Thomas, Brian Scalabrine
SF: Wally Szczerbiak, Francisco Garcia
SG: Kevin Martin, John Salmons, Quincy Douby
PG: Mike Conley Jr.(#10), Ronnie Price

PF position could still use work, but could be worse...however we now have our CORE group being Conley Jr./Oden/Martin/Garcia/Douby/Williams/Price

In two year both Ratliff/Wally's contracts come off the books and could be used as salary filler to land a better PF in the near future.

As for Boston, they now have a team that is full of veterans that could take the EAST next season and are still loaded with youth to take over from the vets in 3-4 years.

I know it's a stretch, but I thought it was a curious idea.

So Boston gives us the future of their franchise for 2 guys in a decline and a headcase?

No offense, but I think we have a better chance of landing the #1 pick ourselves then this trade going down.

And Slamson might fly out of my butt...

 

[walker60]

Please tell me you are joking? No way they take on all those bad contracts AND give us Oden.

 

[Bricklayer]

And Slamson might fly out of my butt...

Well one could always hope, right?


Unfortunately in this case Slamson flying out of your butt might be MORE likely than the above trade scenario.

 

[sidney]

possibly if they land the #3 pick, but not for #1 or #2

 

[Kingster]

It may be possible to trade up to 3-9, but not #1 and #2.

Yup, you could throw it out there and hope for temporary insanity, but most likely you'll hear a laugh on the phone followed by a dial tone.

 

[rhythmless]

they wouldnt even fall for this one in nba live 07... and this is coming from a game that agreed to trade francis for dirk

That trade doesn't look as bad at this point.
