Charlotte Shopping Ben Gordon, Trying To Win Now (Other News)

[bLACKpANTHER]

Charlotte

Trades Ben Gordon and Bismack Biyombo

Boston

Trades Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, and Marshon Brooks

Boston sheds salary and adds an expiring. Boston knows they can lure free agents. Celtics also get a young big man to continue to develop. Biz and Sullinger could compliment each other well.

Charlotte adds Green and Bass to starting lineup. This would be a pretty nice upgrade to the starting core. Brooks gives them scoring off the bench and is still young and can continue to develop.

 

someone would have to arrest Cho/MJ if we pulled that of for robbery

i know Boston is in tank mode but no way do they throw Green and Bass and Brooks away for some money and Biz

Maybe not but it allows Boston to keep their picks and free up money for free agency. This same trade proposal on a Celtics forum has had 3 responses and all 3 are in favor which did surprise me very much

Good (average) at the wrong time and bad in the wrong years... Story of the bobcats.

We need to trade someone else and start Gordon if we want to tank.

Well, like I said, what other options are there for what we have to offer.  Smith is a huge upgrade in talent, even if he is an idiot.

Before this shoelace crap, over the summer when he was brought up, it was almost unanimous that everyone here wanted him, and we apparently did show interest but he re-signed with the Knicks.

 

I think the crap he's doing now is on purpose so he can force his way out of New York without asking for it.

 

He could give us the scoring we need to possibly push us up into a 4th seed if all plays out well.  I mean, they've basically come out and said they're playing for a playoff spot.  He's on a short-term deal, he can score, we're not gonna get much better, and he'd help us RIGHT NOW.

 

i don't like smith cuz he IS an idiot.  but i have to say that will be a good trade cuz he is a slasher and shooter.  he is better than nick young and jamal crawford though older.  it goes smith, crawford, and young, in that order, IMO.

not a bad idea either.
