Rondo & Powell to DAL for Wright, Crowder, Nelson, '15 1st, future 2nd (Woj)

[theSTEREO.]

Yeah, that sounds great, but what's Boston's motivation for trading him at this point?

Three starting centers on the roster. Also tanking.

That's all they got for the assist leader in the NBA? I have him on my fantasy team. Hoping this increases his assist numbers.

Boston has enough NBA caliber big guys on their team.

Bass, Faverini, Olynyk, Sullinger, Zeller, and now Wright

Rondo's shooting numbers are an absolute joke.

40/25/33

Yes, that 33% is free throw shooting.

Brandan Wright likely isn't the top tier big the Cavs ultimately want but he's a very serviceable backup for 20 minutes a night. He could definitely help them this season. His efficiency and blocked shots are off the charts as a backup.

The Cavs could use either Crowder or Wright. Jeff Green is next to go in Boston. He would also be a tremendous fit here. How can we make it happen?

There is no way for us to get a top tier big. Even Mozgov is pretty unattainable.

Man...Wright and Green would look great here. Pipe dream?

Game changer

you're right; dallas went from a contender with a mega elite offense to a first round exit with a "pg" that has led his team to a top 10 offense exactly once (and half a decade ago, at that).

cavs aren't getting a top tier big.

just managing to snag wright - which is doubtful - would likely be a huge win for the cavs and should satisfy trade hopes.

I'll be the first one to tell you that Jeff Green is not going to play SG

Actually was talking big picture when they can use the Haywood contract next summer. Brandan Wright might be the best they can do this season. The tpe alone will probably not be enough to obtain Wright. The Celtics will want some kind of asset. Unfortunately Griff and Gilbert burned thru alot of our assets last offseason.

A center like Mozgov would probably go for 12 mil (the worth of Haywood's contract). Were not getting anyone with that imo come next summer.

Best starting 5 in the NBA?

Best starting 5 in the NBA?

Id still take a starting 5 of splash brothers, Iggy, green, and bogut

I still think GS, Memphis, OKC, and spurs are still better.
