MagicBizkit87 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Celtics offered Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to the Detroit Pistons for a package that included Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Ak_IOAQO6MyvxZu1NDjFfCG8vLYF?slug=aw-celticspistons062209&prov=yhoo&type=lgns So why in god's name would one of the smartest organizations, like the Detroit Pistons even think of doing this trade? Sure their last trade was an abomination, and completely ruined their chances of being a team to beat last year, but they're known for being a great judge of talent. That trade would be highway robbery in favor of the Celtics. Good thing the Pistons aren't that stupid... lol Ray Allen is amazing, and the Celtics front office realizes that he's getting on the old side, but he did kind of get dominated by J.J. Redick during the Eastern Conference Semi's, which is really shocking. They realize that Rondo will never be able to be the guy running a team, and he can never be the guy who will hit a game winner, which is why they were looking at a guy like Rodney Stuckey. Ainge has a knack for making opposing GM's laugh at his face, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Allen has a huge expiring contract, which is attractive for teams that are looking to make a splash in the ridiculous FA pool after next season (assuming these guys opt-out), so that ups his trade value.

Ghost Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hector, that means nothing at this point. This is probably the stupidest trade I've heard in the last two years, not including the Pau Gasol trade. The Detroit Pistons traded Billups because of the potential of Rodney Stuckey. They are so high on this kid, which is why they are not going to do this trade. I laugh at the Celtics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantClassic Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'd take on Ray's expiring deal for a crack at D Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply pointing out that Ray Allen's trade value (in general) is more than a 34-year old shooting guard due to the cap relief his expiring deal will provide after next season.

GangGreen Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Horrible trade for the Celtics in my opinion. Rondo is a franchise player, and he's the future of our team once the Big 3 all leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding? He might be the future of the Celtics, but you guys are getting another future PG in Rodney Stuckey.

Gainzo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is pure gossip. The Celtics rumor mill churned out a blockbuster this morning, though to hear Danny Ainge tell it, any whispered deal is unlikely to become reality. Unidentified league sources told Yahoo Sports's Adrian Wojnarowski that the Celtics offered guard Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to the Pistons in exchange for a package that would include forward Tayshaun Price, and guards Richard Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey. The sources said the Pistons immediately rejected the potential trade. When asked about the rumor this morning during a press conference at the team's facility in Waltham, Ainge did not offer a denial of the specific report, but strongly indicated he does not expect to deal Rondo, the remarkably talented but erratic 23-year-old point guard.

Ghost Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yes. The team that didn't need KG to go down to win the Championship. The Cavs would've beat the Celtics in 7 if they had KG. As of now, the Lakers are the best team in the NBA until proven otherwise. There is absolutely NOTHING anyone in this ****ing world that can prove me otherwise.

Ghost Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The Celtics would've got so much better with that trade. They get rid of Ray Allen for another great shooter. Rajon Rondo is not better than both Stuckey and Prince. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
