Boston Trade Breakdown
Outgoing
Mark Blount
7-0 C from Pittsburgh
9.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.6 apg in 26.0 minutes
Ricky Davis
6-7 SG from Iowa
16.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.0 apg in 32.9 minutes
Paul Pierce
6-6 SF from Kansas
21.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 4.2 apg in 36.1 minutes
Incoming
Doug Christie
6-6 SG from Pepperdine
5.7 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 2.2 apg in 25.2 minutes
Grant Hill
6-8 SF from Duke
19.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.3 apg in 34.9 minutes
Change in team outlook: -21.6 ppg, -7.0 rpg, and -3.3 apg.
Successful Scenario
Due to Orlando and Boston being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Orlando and Boston had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Trade ID
Every trade made by fans is allocated a unique Trade ID which you can share with friends and fellow basketball fans to allow them to see your trade scenario. The Trade ID for this scenario is 2528198.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you accuse me of going insane, let me tell you why this trade makes sense.
Grant Hill and Doug Christie are both mature veterans and good role models for the fans and young players. Both have shorter contracts which the Celtics will clear cap room and be positioned favorably for the upcoming free agency period.
The team really needs to purge all ties to the Pitinoto and Ga$ton regime and this trade does exactly that.
I think this trade idea deserves serious merit and is consistant with the new vision of Danny Ainge.
