Anybody got any trade deadline thoughts?

Lin for Shumpert and Hardaway Jr?

Asik for Milsap?

Rondo?

 

[Styles]

I hope we keep Parsons. I just wish Rondo came back a little earlier. Need to see if he can get back to that triple double form before I'm willing to ship of Parsons.

 

[who_better_than_me]

I don't want the rondo deal. Not mid season. Rondo still can't even play back to backs. I don't trust his health yet.... Need to see more before I ship out parsons.

 

[Charlie Broadway]

What about some kind of three way:

us:
Rondo in
Lin and Asik out

NY:
Lin in
Shumpert and Hardaway out

Boston:
Asik, Shumpert, and Hardaway in
Rondo out

There would be picks and other players involved but that would be the framework.

That be nice but Boston would want a pick. And it's be nice to also get another big to replace Asik . I'm convinced we need another big after they back2back against Memphis

I hear you. I don't want to trade Parsons but maybe we don't have to give him up if certain things go right for us.

Here's Rondo's stats for February (no back to backs like you said):

19-10-6
8-11-9
15-12-8
16-4-2

If we can offload Lin and/or Asik's contracts and get Rondo by the start of next season that would be a huge win long term.

We have picks and both teams have a throwaway big for the rest of the season. Maybe even Camby comes back. We have an exception (I forgot what it's called) that can be used in the off season to get a backup big. If we can get Rondo without giving up Parsons I'm in.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Has rondo said Anything about playing for us. Would he be willing to resign? That's the only way we trade for him.

 

[Charlie Broadway]

I haven't seen anything saying he's willing to resign. I have seen that he's not willing to re-up with Sacramento or Toronto. We're a contender in a state that is tax friendly for a nikka like him with bunch of bad women. I don't see why he wouldn't be interested.
