As for the Pistons offer… It could work or fail depending on how good Rodney Stuckey really is. he’s shown flashes like his 40 point game last season but he also slumped badly for a while. Since Ray isn’t coming back after next year, I think Hamilton could be a good replacement and Prince certainly fits the James Posey defensive stopper role.

Tyreke Evans could be a big-time player, but the Celtics would have to be in love with him to make that deal.

rondo for amare isnt happening.
the sacremento option is interesting, but i have to agree with you, I just cant see them getting rid of talent they already know they have for (and ONLY for) a rookie who could prove to be a bust.

honestly, im a little surprised that Detroit has “laughed” at the current offer. im no history major, but if we look at the recent years, what has Detroit accomplished? Anybody? Yea, I didnt think you guys could come up with anything either. Their whole team is old. Rasheed Wallace is balding. Teyshaun Prince looks like hes falling asleep on the bench half of the time. Rip doesnt wear that mask for luck, its because he needs it to hold his face together. and perhaps one of their best young players in stuckey, has proven to be quite inconsistent. Allen would provide some increased 3 point goals. when sheed is attempting more 3s than some of your guards, something needs to change. and rondo is just rondo. plus, those three players in rip, prince, and stuckey, im sure are consuming a decent combined pay. moving them out might not be such a bad idea. it wouldnt hurt us either. if Rondo is as bad as the rumours imply, who needs that? It could be worse than a former all-star and leading assist man in starbury leading our team next season. much worse. have you seen the crop of PGs lately? Rick Rubio is the best one in the draft this year. yikes.

Signing D-Wade, now theres an intersting idea. It would be awesome, i agree with the comment above, but would it really work? you dont average 30-something points a game by giving everyone else their fair share of shots. he has molded himself into a leading, but dare i say selfish, scorer on a repeatedly failing team. Would he really be able to fit into a team that is designed on the word “team” rather than “player”? I guess time will tell. but if Detroit is so arrogently rejecting offers that are clearly no joke, i hope they crumble just as they have so many times in recent years. Go celtics. I trust ainge to make it happen.
