With the Celtics owning a 4-8 record and are obviously struggling to get out of the gate, expect the media and armchair GMs to make a big deal out of everything. The new trend is trading Paul Pierce, let me get this out of the way now, even if we were going to trade Paul Pierce he has a no trade clause which means we won't be able to acquire young talent from bad teams and we would only be dealing him to contenders that would have no real talent to give up. So I don't see the point.
Paul Pierce is fine, he is just out of shape and I don't know if we will win many games when he gets in more game shape, but he can definitely score more at will. We saw glimpses of him coming back against the Thunder. Hopefully he can get that to be more consistent.
With KG and Ray, I could justify trading them, even though I don't want to.
If I were the Celtics I would keep the team status quo and let everyone's contract expire. The Celtics are in a bad position, and nobody would give anything up for a KG that can hardly jump and play defense. Ray would be the most valuable asset to other teams I believe, because all contenders need a guy who can shoot like him and stretch the floor. However, it will be all contenders that will be looking for him and a 20-30 draft pick for him isn't worth it.
Danny has no options right now and has to wait and see if something falls in his lap. Otherwise, wait and see what happens this offseason.
