Ok basically da trade is favours and harris for Rondo and dooling. First thing is this is realistic. Its not a jermaine o neil for howard trade. This would benefit both teams. Utah have a stacked front court that could actually nearly benefit from opening up more time. But they are seriously lacking at guard spot. Rondo is a big upgrade and defo makes their team better. As for the celts - its not ideal letting rondo walk. Hes my fav player! but since that perkins trade we have been lackin at center. Theres less and less centers around whereas there has never been so many quality pg around ever!! ever. We got draft picks, we got two very young pgs already, devin harris addition and also alot of cap space coming in da summer to go after deron for example.
Thoughts?
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Where is Rondo gonna walk?
He’s not approaching free agency

WHAT!
Didnt mean he was walking for nothing. Just meant seeing him leave. I think I made it obvious it was a trade of rondo and dooling for favours and harris.

Not a bad deal, Favors is looking good! I think Rondo for Ty Lawson and Nene is a better deal.

wont happen
nuggets are fond of both players and i believe the salaries do not match each other.
ZM15 - February 22, 2012
I like it ...
But would it help are chances of getting Dwight next year?
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
What about....
We send – Rondo, Jermaine, and Dooling
We recieve – Kirk Hinrich, and Josh Smith
This works out for both teams because Hawks get the All-star Point Gaurd to set up the young All-star talent they have. And we get Kirk Hinrich a solid player thats contract is up next year, and of course a exciting defensive minded Big Guy that goes by J Smitty. And since J Smitty is close friends with DH12 it is ever more possible that this is what are roster will look like next year.
PG Deron Williams, Avery Bradley
SG Ray Allen, E’ twaun Moore
SF Paul Pierce, Jeff Green
PF Josh Smith, Brandon Bass, JJ
C Dwight Howard, Chris Wilcox, JJ
We would be a little over the cap but hey its worth it.
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
bass probably wont be back and we wont have money to sign him to a bigger contract if we want williams howard smith green pierce.
deron will make around 18
pierce 16
smith 12
howard 18
green 5
thats already over the cap
JuJuan some moore - February 22, 2012
well we have bass under contract till 2013 I believe so maybe we could trade him and one of are draft picks to get a better pick for this years draft
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
he has a player option
JuJuan some moore - February 22, 2012
If we had to save some money we could sign Pietrus instead og Green
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
Then with Dwight, Pierce, D.Williams, J Smith, Ray Allen, Pietrus, JJ, and E'twaun Moore
We would actually be under the cap, then we can add a few cheap players to fill in some spots
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
Oh and Bradley I forgot
Little ticket - February 22, 2012
Im going to try to make an entire coherent plan
so we send pierce rondo and bass to LA and allen, bradley, clippers pick to indiana and in return we get bynum and granger
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7hrpywf
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6zpy98u
so then our roster looks like
moore
2
granger
JJ
Bynum/greg
then we go out and sign Oj Mayo or Eric gordon. Oj mayo would be my preference because he is cheaper hes restricted and the griz could use bird to sign him but i think he wont be back with them.
we sign green if he is willing to do a 1 year 4 million (or less) contract
sign carl landry he should make around 7 million next year (he got a big one year contract this year because they had space)
we sign DJ augustine if the bobcats dont want him back
using numbers from last year
Augustine(3.2),Moore(0.5)
Mayo (6),
Granger (12) Green (5)
Landry (9), JJ (1)
Bynum (15), greg (1)
thats 52.7 million but mayo and augustine are likely to get raises
we still have our draft pick to add a shooting guard obviously this would take a ton of luck to happen but it would be a good team next year
JuJuan some moore - February 22, 2012
this may not be enough for granger
but im sure they would love to get allen as SG is one of their weaknesses and paul george is the future SF so granger is expendable they get world peace, allen,bradley,morris, and the clippers pick. maybe LA gives them a pick too for taking on ron artest
another factor i didnt try to mess with is roster spots.
JuJuan some moore - February 22, 2012
GRANGER J SMITH
we dont need a sf or pf!!!! come on guys. we actually are loaded there. have people looked at our roster!!! WE NEED A CENTER!!! If your going to trade away Rondo it has to be for a center. Hence i started this talkin rondo for Favours and harris. few big men out there loads of pgs
