Celtics Willing to Trade 1st Round Pick to Dump Gerald Wallace

[Saint Cy of JFC]

i would do it and buy out wallace. He has 1 year at 10 mil left. buy out for like 8 mill

Why on Earth would he accept a buyout? No one wants him at all. Perkins took a buy out because a playoff team wanted him on the roster. Think.

If an extra 1st rounder could land us Hezonja/Winslow/Johnson, then I'd probably rather do that than use our money in free agency anyway.

Yah, I think I would do that, too, but I really doubt it will be enough to get us into that group of picks.

This deal would cost us Booker and the 3 of the other unguaranteed contracts. I doubt it would be for anything other than the #28 (because Philly would jump on that ish quick). #12 and #28 doesn't move you to the #9.

Not a bad find though. Last offseason for sure... this offseason prolly no.

Crash is done. No thanks.

Wait, Boston is proposing to pay a pick to part with a player?

Are the jazz willing to accept the asset and the accompanying has been?

some one has to think he has value if not then just cut him

If you cut him you have to pay him. This just in, people, even ridiculously rich owners, don't like blowing 10 million dollars just to make a guy leave.

Didn't we just do this in the Golden State trade for Beans, RJeff and Rush? We ain't rebuilding anymore.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's a salary dump deal, like the Jazz taking Biedrins from the Warriors so they could sign Iguodala. Ten million is a lot just to buy a first-round pick. They might need to throw in another asset.

 

[Stifle Tower]

It's worth it if we have no other plans to use our cap-space. He only has a year left on his deal. Do we have 10 million dollars in free cap space? Are we planning on using it? If the answers are yes and no, then it's worth it by default if ownership is willing to spend the $$$.

there are usually some teams willing to sell their late 1sts for $3M. $10M is way too much. Could fit it under our cap but that would mean no Tomic. Even if Utah had to offer $7M to get Ante here that would be better use of that money.

I'd Pass!! Lets use that 10 million on brewer, Green, Kosta, Green. we could build a solid bench with that 10 million a year. Plus, this off season might be the best off season to pick up some players on the cheap and really add a few assets!! If we could pick up Kosta for 4-5 million a year...assett!! Even if Hibbert opts out and you can sign him for 7-8 million a year..asset. I think this is the season you go all in with your cap space. Gets to hard the next few years after that!! A lot of players I'd imagine will be switching teams!!
