The Nuggets may be looking to rebuild here is a few deals that the Celtics could swing.
(Both trade machine approved)

Deal #1

Den-K. Faried- 2017 2nd rounder (top 50 protected)

Bos-J. Sullinger-J. Jerebko-T. Rozier-Better of Dallas/ Boston 1st 2016-Minnesota 2016 1st (2 2nds 2016 and 2017 Memphis 2019 1st

Reasons:

Denver
-Younger and more flexible. They add a 1st round pick (yes not high but has value 18-25) also a future 1st from Memphis, along with future 2nds. The drop from Faried to Sullinger is not too steep and they can decide at seasons end to keep or let go. Jerebko is another player they can keep or cut (2017 none guaranteed $5 mil) and Rozier a young point guard prospect. Cuts $2 million immediately and with Sully and Jerebko not guaranteed next year that's $7.5 Million in spending money.

Boston
-Cash in some assets but lose some financial flexibility. Faried is an upgrade who can start or be a great big off the bench. Able to keep the Nets pick.

Deal #2

Denver-Gallinari-Hickson-Foye

Boston-Sullinger-Jerebko-Lee-Rozier- (Young or Hunter) -Better of Dallas/ Boston 2016 pick-Minnesota 2016 (2 2nds) -2018 Nets pick

(you could remove both Jerebko and Hickson if you think its too much)

Reasons:
Denver
-Similar to the first deal Denver adds youth picks and financial flexibility. Lee/ Sullinger/ Jerebko all can come off the books next year (Jerebko none-Guaranteed $5mill) equaling $23 million in savings (Max contract) Also bring in a 1st this year (18-25) and a 2018 Nets pick (unprotected) along with a few 2nds. Denver gets 2 prospects (Rozier then Choice of Young/ Hunter to replace Gallinari) Both on rookie contracts.

Boston
-Able to use assets to upgrade team while losing the 2018 Nets pick hurts its worth it for Gallinari who would be the first off the bench or possibly start at PF in small ball rotations.

Both trades go through trade machine, money works. Benefits both teams. Let me hear your thoughts too much from Boston or Not enough? Am i wrong thinking Denver wants to rebuild? Am i right with my reasons?

Both trade ideas uproot and gut the celtics for trades that do not make them any better. If you want a realistic trade try gallinari for lee, sullinger and celtics pick. Neither team guts the roster.

I don't really see the need for Fareid. we have a bigger version of him in Amir Johnson in my eyes and he not guaranteed after this season and frankly I believe he's more valuable then Faried and I think that he's way too overpaid.


i don't see the Celtics trading the nets pick, granted its 2 years down the road, but I still don't see them trading it for unless its a proven star. Gallinari is good but he's no star. he's never made an all star and has been injured quite often. so I would say that the Celtics are giving up too much for him in that deal. but I definitely think that Gallinari to the Celtics would be a great fit as we need shooting.

Celtics wouldn't bite. Not great trades for them.

Faried is not worth nearly that much.

First one is def overpay for Faried, he could be had for less. Second one I would say also, especially including nets pick.

If I'm Boston, I say no to both trades.

I think you are spot on! I would very much appreciate either of these deals. Good work.

So if I were to remove the Nets pick for the Gallo deal and then remove the 2016 1st from the Faried deal better?
