Get Rudy Fernandez. He will surely ignite the bench of the Celtics as a backup for Ray Allen.

“GSW, well Tolliver is a FA so doing a sign trade with them would help both teams out, GSW get something for nothing and Boston are able to sign the guy, as I dont think he is eligable for the VM…”
Good point there. I would love to get him, but I have a feeling GS is going to try and sign him to back up Lee at c/pf seeing as they just got rid of Azabuke and Randolph.

I agree with Rudy, no point thinking about it, he knows he can get more money else where….
Houston giving up Ariza and Anderson, we my thinking behind that, is that Anderson will spend the season on the bench with Hayes, Yao and Miller on the team, and it is an expensive guy just sitting on the bench, so why not give him up to someone else and take that money away from the lux tax….
GSW, well Tolliver is a FA so doing a sign trade with them would help both teams out, GSW get something for nothing and Boston are able to sign the guy, as I dont think he is eligable for the VM…

As for moves that might happen, ell that is hard to say, everyone else I would like to have seen sign have gone to other teams, as for who is left, the best guys wont sign for the VM unless its with the Heat (T-Mac for example, but I hope I’m wrong here). Shaq wont come for VM, AI is poison, Boone could work but I see him being another that goes to another team, Brown….well lets hope not….

I think the best Boston can do is trade for something out of the blue, because I think the once awesome FA is now pretty ordinary

Tristan I never said I wouldn’t want those guys, I was just pointing out that if you think we can pull those moves you must be crazy. Why would Houst. give up Ariza and another guy for Sheeds expiring contract? They are not that desperate for cap space. Rudy Fernandez probably will not sign for the vet. min.. And why would golden state ever give up an nba proven big man with rebounding and range for an unproven point guard? Golden states problem has been a lack of bigs and an abundance of guards. You might as well have said Scals for Durant in a sign and trade while you were at it.
Like I said I would love to get those guys. But it is not a great example of anything that is even remotely possible. Why don’t you try to think of some moves that are plausible ?
