Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

Jeff Green and Leandro Barbosa for Marcin Gortat

Celtics:
Gortat / Wilcox
Garnett / Bass
Pierce / Sullinger
Bradley / Lee
Rondo / Terry

Celtics need a True Center that can provide some much needed rebounding and Gortat can bring that. Once Bradley is back there will be too many guards so Barbosa is expendable.

Suns
Frye / Oneal
Scola / Green
Beasley / Dudley
Barbosa / Brown
Dragic / Marshall

Gortat is unhappy and rumours are going around that he is being traded. The suns get 2 good rotation players that could potentially be starters or the 6th man on their team.

Thoughts?

Switch Barbosa with Lee, and then we'll talk...

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

Not entirely bad.

How do the contracts match out?

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

No, Bass instead of Green.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

That's a good deal for the Cs (especially once Bradley returns) but I don't see Sarver stomaching Green's contract.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

I originally wanted to put Lee but then contracts wont match. But hey, if Suns could add a filler in then it would still be worth it for the Celtics.

Gortat 7.3M per year. 1 year left

for

Green 8.4M per year. 4 eyars left
Barbosa 850k per year. 1 year left


Lee makes 5M per year. 4 years left. I suppose Suns could add W.Johnson as a filler to make this deal happen.

Gortat+Johnson for Green+Lee will work salary wise.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

My thoughts are you need a punch in the head.
Why the hell would Phoenix trade Gortat for useless bench trash when 25 other teams will all be clamouring over eachother to make offers if he was made available.

Ridiculous.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

Aside from the generally rudeness of the response, I agree with this poster.

Not a very good trade proposal.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

jeff greens makes more than gortat, why would suns do this.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

Until Jeff Green proves he is worth that contract no team should trade for him.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

pretty much this.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

jesus people are really running with this 'gortat is unhappy' thing

what do we really know about the situation?

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

Bass+Bradley for Gortat works after Jan 15th... I think this trade has more of a chance...

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

suns already have a gazillion pfs, they dont need bass, they need a center.

Re: Celtics & Phoenix Trade Idea
 

If the Suns are trading Gortat, i would assume they will be chasing prospects and picks.
