CELTICS RECEIVE:
'11 1st Round Pick(Clippers)
Randy Foye- 27 Years Old, 70 Overall, SG|PG, 2yrs @ $8.50M
Rasual Butler- 31 Years Old, 61 Overall, SF|SG, 1 yr @ $1.22M

CLIPPERS RECEIVE:
[center]Ray Allen- 35 years old, 79 Overall, SG|PG, 2 yrs @ $20.00M
'11 1st Round Pick(Celtics)
Brian Scalabrine- 32 years old, 44 Overall, PF|SF, 1 yr @ $2.00M
Von Wafer- 25 years old, 61 Overall, SG, 1 yr @ $961K
In this trade, Von Wafer and Butler are irrelevant as is Scalabrine. The real meat of the trade is Allen going to start for the Clippers, Foye coming over from LA to provide depth at PG or SG, and us trading first round picks. I believe that their pick will be a lottery pick since the average overall of their starting 5 is 76. To me, the winners of this trade is the Celtics. Short term(this season), Allen isn't that much better than Eric Gordon(who he would be taking the starting job from). For us, Foye provides cheap depth while allowing us to move Nate Robinson to starting SG or finding another starter. What this trade was really about was the draft pick. Since Rondo is the only Top-80 player on our team who is under the age of 33 (Allen 35, Pierce 33, Garnett 34, O'Neal 38), we needed a way to add some youth to the team. With Nate Robinson(the worst case) being of similar ability to Allen, we won't miss him much.
CAVALIERS RECEIVE:
Glen Davis- 24 Years Old, 64 Overall, PF, 1 yr @ $3.30M
Feels like a steal. Again, our team is looking to get younger and grabbing the Cav's 1st round pick(Projected as a Top 5 to me) means we will be able to grab a future star in the draft. The fact that Jamario Moon will be around to provide depth to our team is just a plus. Glen Davis, although he has good potential, will never be a game changer in my eyes.
With the Raptors
Spoiler
CELTICS RECEIVE:
'11 1st Round Pick(Raptors)
Julian Write- 23 Years Old, 64 Overall, SF|SG, 1 yr @ $2.86M
Sonny Weems- 24 Years old, 60 Overall, SG|SF, 1 yr @ $854K
Both Julian Write and Sonny Weems were included only to make the trade possible. I don't believe they will have a significant impact on our team. The Raptors pick up Robinson, who will be their best player right off the bat. He will take the starting PG position from Jose Calderon. Regardless, they team won't make the playoffs with the talent level they posses. Hence, I take the (soon to be) lottery pick.
With The Bobcats
Spoiler
CELTICS RECEIVE:
'11 1st Round Pick(Bobcats)
Nazr Mohammed- 33 years old, 65 Overall, C, 1 yr @ $6.88M
BOBCATS RECEIVE:
Jermaine O'Neal- 32 years old, 74 Overall, C|PF, 2 yrs @ $12.56M
Marquis Daniels- 29 years old, 64 Overall, SG|SF, 1 yr @ $2.50M
With the defensive ability of Gerald Wallace and the scoring ability of Stephen Jackson, the Bobcats aren't that bad a team. If you add to that Jermaine O'Neal and this team MIGHT make the playoffs. Regardless, O'Neal was going to be limited to minimal minutes in Boston(Shaq and Perkins would take most at C) so it seems smart to use him to invest in next season.
With the Nets
Spoiler
CELTICS RECEIVE:
Kris Humphries- 25 Years old, 62 Overall, PF|SF, 1 yr @ $3.20M
Sean May- 26 years old, 56 Overall, PF, 1 yr @ $1.35M
NETS RECEIVE:
'12 2nd Round Pick(Celtics)
Jamario Moon- 30 Years old, 65 Overall, SF, 2 yr @ $6.16M
Rasual Butler- 31 Years old, 61 Overall, SF|SG, 1 yr @ $1.22M
Not a big trade, I just needed some depth at PF which will be provided by Humphries. May have given to much but at least I won't have to keep Moon's contract next year.
Free Agent Pick Ups
Spoiler
Allen Iverson- 35 years old, 80 Overall, SG|PG
Signed for 1 yr @ $5.76M
In stocking up the draft picks, I traded away Ray Allen and Nate Robinson(among others). The leaves a space at SG for a player to come start in. While Iverson obviously doesn't go along with my youth movement, he comes in to help us win the NBA title this year.
