Celtics (unconventional) block

[CelticsGM]

Finally, the Celtics offer a trade block as well (as much as I hate to see any of these young guns go - and also hate trading blocks as it looks like these guys are either crap, unwanted or both - which is not the case here, this is just a try for "shortcut" in rebuilding):

Pacers 2008 1st (around #20) can go - if not in a player deal then for a 2009 1st
C Kaman can go (will be in a new 5yr deal starting at 7.2mio totalling 43.3mio - and is sure better than anything the C position can offer in this upcoming draft)
C Duncan can go (with A pot he's probably a TC away)
PF Baly can go (he of the 10ppg last yr, now stuck in my youth rotation)
SF MoPete can go (in a S&T 1yr deal)

... and so can basically anyone else for a lotto pick in 2008 or in a 2-1 or 3-1 for a very good star player.

Eddy and Snow are the hardest to go, to be honest, and to give up on all those promising youngsters it really has to make my team better NOW.

Pacers 2006 1st (around #20) can go - if not in a player deal then for a 2007 1st

You re-signed Kaman for HOW MUCH??

You were right, the deal for Kaman starts at 7.2mio not at 8.5 mio

[PacersGM]

i think he asked for the years and the money

[CelticsGM]

for your convenience:
5yr deal starting at 7.2mio with increase of 10% in first year (and 9.1%, 8.3% and 7.7% therafter) totalling roughly 43.3mio
