Caron Butler to Celtics?

[beerfan]

It is just a rumor right now, but rumor enough for ESPN to report it.

If the Celtics want to blow it up they can do much better than Bledsoe and Butler for KG.

I don't agree...picking up a nice young talent in Bledsoe is a nice haul for a guy who's going to be 37 in three months with two years left on his contract. KG's a great player right now but the Celtics need to get a bit younger - Bledsoe's a 23-year-old who plays fantastic defense, averages 16 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals per 36 minutes, and shoots 45% from the field and 38% from three. He's also something of a freak athlete - in other words, he's only begginning to scratch the surface. I assume Butler's only involved to make the contracts matchup.

If you have better options for the Celtics, I'm all ears.

This trade would be highway robbery for a Celtics team that isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Better trade? - send Garnett to OKC for Lamb and Thabeet .

Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan which is now being discussed is a muc much better deal.

That's a steal for the Celtics but I honestly think that the Clippers are currently just as good as OKC and the Spurs.

They are up there. And for a franchise that is enjoying the most success in it's history, I would shy away from such a trade.

They don't need KG, when they have DJ.

It's probably cap related on the clippers end. I just hope Caron can stay healthy
