- Luke Ridnour, PG - Billy Joe Kim, PF - the Celtics 2009 #1 draft pick to the Indiana Pacers for - Mickael Pietrus, SF - David Harrison, C The trade can be finalised. Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: PacersGM on May 17, 2005, 09:06:25 AM i agree...
Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: NetsGM on May 17, 2005, 09:19:49 AM Well, we'll see.
Right now Pietrus is a guy with good ratings, and the potential to be very good. But so far he hasn't produced. And trading a future pick of yours, with your current team, is risky. 2 years isn't a long time to try to rebuild, and the east is stacked.

Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: GoldenStateGM on May 17, 2005, 09:39:49 AM Wow... that pick for the Pacers makes this a great trade for them.
I like Pietrus, and he will make a good starting SF, possibly very good, depending upon his next training camp. Pietrus probably shot well because he was a 3rd string player. But that pick has a good probability of being a lottery pick... Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: KingsGM-old on May 17, 2005, 10:25:34 AM that pick was just too much IMO. that's a lottery pick for pietrus!
Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: NetsGM on May 17, 2005, 10:27:51 AM It's a risk, that's for sure.
It also depends on 4 things: 1) if Pietrus can play as well as his attributes are. 2) If Pietrus can improve with that B potential 3) How strong of a draft that will be. 4) If (how much) the celtics can improve) But it's a risk, that's for sure.

Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: CelticsGM on May 17, 2005, 10:52:48 AM I hope not to sound too cocky but I don't plan on this pick being a lottery selection in 2009. :wink:
Aside from this I don't get too overexited about future high draft picks because - there's no guarantee the pick is high (like top5) in 2 years - look at what you got this year: Pietrus is pretty close to the numbers of Robert Dickau and, Ladies & Gentlemen, that was the #3 pick ! So this basically was trading the 1st round pick 2009 for the #3 pick this year. :shock: Of course I'm well aware that Pietrus might not resign with me next year or command more money than I'm willing to pay but that's the only intangible I can think of. I think he's worth the risk, especially with Pierce' status still undecided ... Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: KingsGM-old on May 17, 2005, 10:56:17 AM hm...pierce is on the move?
Title: Celtics/Pacers trade Post by: NetsGM on May 17, 2005, 11:32:35 AM I never said there was a problem, pacers, I said that it was a risk.
Celtics: Getting into the playoffs in the east will not be easy. The east is stacked, and with youth. |
