Celtics

Rational offseason plan that could happen
(NO COUSINS OR KAWHI LEONARD PIPE DREAMS)

Bos/GS Trade.

Celtics gets- Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes
Golden State gets- Gerald Wallace, James Young, Kelly Olynik, 1st rnd pick (Clippers 28th)

Golden State is matching any draymond Green offer sheet so they need to shed Iguodalas contract because he's signed for 12.5 mill/per for 2 years after this one. Wallace is an expiring contract who makes a lil less than iguodala and they'll be free from that money after next year. They lose harrison barnes but he's similar enough to green and you get young(plays SF) and olynik(perfect stretch 4 who can play when draymonds at the 3)and a 1st round pick.Perfect for both teams and GS will b making a trade this offseason Trust me

Offer a max deal to Deandre Jordan. If the Clippers match it then Sign Montae Ellis and Omir Asik to protect the rim. ReSign Jae Crowder

In the Draft take Trey Lyles at #16 and Dakari Johnson at #33 as your young Center of the future

PG: Marcus Smart/ I. Thomas
SG: Montae Ellis/ A. Bradley/ A. Iguodala
SF: Harrison Barnes/ E. Turner/ J. Crowder
PF: Jared Sullinger/ Trey Lyles
C: Omir Asik/ Dakari Johnson

I think DeAndre Jordan is a long shot so I went with the Ellis/Asik lineup instead and looking at it I kinda like it more for Brad Stevens style of coaching. This is my plan and no one is going to comment and say this is crazy because every thing is in the realm of possibility and it makes too much sense. My Plan B if you can't get Harrison Barnes is offer a Max to Tobias Harris and take those same assets and try and swing a trade for nerlons Noel but that's for another day.

BTW tell me this team isn't in the TOP 3 in the East next year. Barnes can match guys like lebron paul george and jimmy butler and asik can finally protect the rim. another year for bradley/smart/thomas to grow together and a go to scorer in Ellis. BOOM

Top 3? That's when you got craZy. I'll take cavs, Bulls, Wizards, Hawks, bucks over that team.

Why are you putting Iggy and Barnes in the trade? Celtics should just go for Iggy.

pizza I don't think its crazy at all. I said top 3 because cavs and bulls are better. THIS YEAR wihout this plan I think the Celtics had a legit shot to beat any other team in the playoffs besides bulls/cavs. And IMO the celtics would of beat the Hawks if they were the #8 seed. i'm telling you it would of went to 7 and the hawks would turn into a puddle like usual. and x Iggy and Barnes are in the trade together because Iggy right now is older and this celtics team is young and needs a legoit Young SF to grow and improve every year along with the rest of the young core. And with James and the emergence of Jimmy Butler Tobias Harris Khris Middleton Demar Derozan Celtics need a great SF to counter all those guys. Barnes can be the 3rd best player on a championship team Iggy is a role player

I understand you believe it. Your name is green team and you wrote the post. No one else does. Ergo, it's dillusional and a HUGE stretch.
