Celtics, Rockets discuss Shane Battier trade

All I know is that I would be extremely depressed if we traded battier... The guy is the heart and soul of our team.

 

Battier going to the Celtics would be doing a solid for Shane, but not for a very low future first.

 

Battier for Perkins and Avery Bradley.

 

I would hate to see the man go, but at the same time I think we can all agree and say shane deserves a legit chance at a ring.

 

FINALLY WE GET THE CLUTCH FAN FAVORITE VON WAFER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Courtney Lee for Omer Asik

Battier for Avery Bradley

Done deal.

 

Taj Gibson is a shot-blocking machine. Houston would do well to find a way to pry this guy away from Chi-town.

 

Avery Bradley? That's literally the only piece I like enough to consider.. and I don't even like it that much.

 

We send them battier + Jordan Hill

Get back Perkins and a 2nd rounder.

 

no way they give up Perkins, but Avery Bradley is intriguing

 

It has to be at least a 3 way because I don't know how the salaries would work.

 

the bulls are ridiculously conservative, how many of their players are they unwilling to trade

 

Bradley would be a nice backup plan should the whole Aaron Brooks thing fall through.

Getting a good player for him is in our interest. Perkins is the only man I want from them. That's not likely to happen though. Battier can be replaced,though with some difficulty. Hayes is a bigger leader than Shane,and won't let us collapse.

 

big baby and a 2012 1st? im too lazy to match salaries here.

 

Not too keen on Big Baby. I doubt if their 2012 pick will be a high one.

 

4 Way Deal

Hou Trade: Battier, Brooks, Jeffries
Hou Receive: Perkins, Bradley, Wallace

Bos Trade: Bradley, Perkins
Bos Receive: Battier, Collins

Char Trade: Wallace, Collins, Livingston
Char Receive: Brooks, Jeffries, Azubuike

NYK Trade: Azubuike
NYK Receive: Livingston

Houston does it because they're able to pick up a down low presence in Perkins. They pick up a younger, better wing in Wallace. Bradley isn't Brooks but he is young and will be able to split time as back up PG with Lee and Ish.

Boston does it because they're able to get their target in Battier. They give 1 of 3 centers and a 3rd string PG.

Charlotte gets rid of wallace and gets rid of Livingstons bad contract. They're able to pick up 3 expirings including a starting PG in Brooks.

NYK finally pick up the back up PG they've been looking for in exchange for a player that could possibly not play this season.

 

I'd rather just keep Shane.

 

This year's 1st rounder + future(2015?) 1st rounder + whatever cap filler necessary and it's a deal.

Morey's making moves to help us in the future. Getting a Boston future pick would be damn good cause they'll suck in the future.

Or moving Lee for Charlotte's pick from Chicago, that'd be cool.
