Jamison and Butler to Boston?

[The Oddsbreaker]

Rumors swirling that Boston and Washington are close to pulling off a blockbuster trade. Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler would head to Boston and Ray Allen, Brian Scalabrine and JR Giddens would head to Washington.

Love it, hate it?

[THEGREAT30]

Hate it because the Hawks are my preferred NBA team this is just how it goes in baseball and basketball teams basically buy championships, but more power to them either you can beat them or you can't.

[solareclipse33]

thanks for the info. crap trade for washington but they suck neway prolly remove salary cap.

[HoulihansTX]

This should be really good for the locker room/Team Chemistry

[lakerboy]

Ray Allen ends up in washington

Maybe we can actually win a game against u guys this year if this goes thru...

Yeah were too phucking cheap, would be nice if they could give us Haywood while they are giving away the team

Ray Allen ends up in washington

Left to fade off into Oblivia (as our good friend Mike Tyson would say)

Yup, just in time for the big free agent year too. I just don't see them being able to attract any of them, regardless of cap space.

Me either, not happening

[HoulihansTX]

Who is taking Arenas?

He is the anvil that weighs down the salary cap. 16+ mill ouch!

No one, maybe the waiver wires

[fsugolf]

seems bad for Wash

[mp5070]

Boston may get better!

Here's a trade I made on the NBA Trade Machine

76ers get rid of Iggy, they have been shopping him for months

Houston gets rid of McGrady

76ers get a real scoring point guard, and Eddie Jordan gets his old PG to run his system.

Washington gets expiring contracts.

[lakerboy]

McGrady wont play this year. No one wants him unless he plays for free. The kid is a loser he got his money he doesnt care and Houston was smart to fukk him like they way did.I hope he never plays again i hate him.

Arenas will play again when? That's the question most gm's are faced with

Its an expiring deal. If you are in a salary dump situation those type of contracts are a godsend.

He will play again. Too talented. Besides contracts are guaranteed in the NBA so someone is going to pay him the remaining 80 mill on his contract.

[The Oddsbreaker]

When you think about it, this trade would make the Celtics incredibly versatile. Butler can play multiple positions, Jamison can as well and Doc can get creative with his line-ups, giving them a huge edge with their second unit. Chemistry has to be a question mark for sure but if they can figure it out before the playoffs, they'd have a great shot at another title.

The trade makes sense. I hope it happens...

Lakerboy, if it does happen, we'll get to see just what kind of coach Doc Rivers is. He'll have a lot to do with their success, or lack thereof. I lean towards 'pretty good coach' mostly because I thought it would be tough to win a championship in year one of having a completely restructured team but they did it. I think Doc deserves a lot of credit for that. We'll see what happens...

[THEGREAT30]

Rondo, Butler, Pierce, Jamison, Garnett would be a good scoring lineup

For sure.

It's too bad there's only one basketball...

[HoulihansTX]

No longer would that team play any defense, and that's their overall edge.

Even with that sum of parts they are not better than the Lakers on paper.

Well you could start Rondo, Butler, Pierce, Garnett, and Perkins and play the scoring lineup when you desperately need points

[The Oddsbreaker]

Is that really true? Allen is hardly a defensive force and Jamison isn't either but the core of that defense is exactly the same. Jamison and Butler are not going to march into Boston and change the way that team plays. Thibodeau is one of the best, if not the best, defensive coaches in the league and with Garnett, Perkins and Rondo leading the way defensively, I don't see them losing there defensive mentallity.

We don't know how good they would be because we haven't seen them play yet but they look pretty good on paper. You be the judge:

Pierce - Bryant
Garnett - Gasol
Rondo - Fisher
Butler - Artest
Perkins - Bynum
Jamison - Odom
Wallace - Walton
Davis - Mbenga
Daniels - Farmar
House - Brown
T. Allen - Powell
Scalabrine - Vujacic

According to another source these two haven't had any discussions. They said this was planted to ratchet things up between wiz and cavs. Very interesting
