Trade Deadline Approaching, what should the Celtics do?

This is gonna be the first of 3 posts I do during the All Star Break. The next one will be tomorrow. Right now the Celtics are 28-24 and sit in 7th in the East. 1.5 games behind the Hawks for 6th and have a 5.5 game lead over Philly for a playoff spot. So it's safe to say we should make the playoffs. But of course all teams want is the NBA finals. The Celtics lost 3 key players in Rondo, Sullinger, and Barbosa. So far we've been doing good but not great. Lets look at the Buzz going on in the Trade Deadline.

TRADE RUMORS:



So first lets talk about the KG trade rumors. There's been reports that the Clippers and Celtics have been talking a KG trade, KG won't waive his no trade clause, which means he can't be traded. In fact he won't do that for any team. So Kevin Garnett will most likely be a Celtic for the rest of his career. So those trade rumors have been put to rest. Should the Celtics consider this? NO


Yupp thats right. Theres been reports that the Lakers might trade Dwight for Rondo. The Lakers denied this rumor though. In all honesty I think this is a trade that might benefit us. Dont get me wrong Rondo is a great player but we proved we can win without him. Should the Celtics consider this? YES

TOP  TRADE TARGET:
 Josh Smith:



Josh Smith has been in trade rumors since the beginning of the season and his best fit would be the Celtics. He says he wouldn't mind playing with the Celtics. COME ON CELTICS MAKE IT HAPPEN.


TOP TRADE BAITS:
Brandon Bass
Jeff Green 
Jason Collins
Jason Terry

Bass has been a dissapointment this year, Collins is Collins, Green has had his ups and downs and we might get good players for him , same goes with Terry. I would've added Barbosa but he's gone.... so yeah.


CONCLUSION:

The Celtics should try to avoid trading Pierce and KG, Rondo see what you can get from him. Try to get Smith by trading Bass/Green/Collins and Terry. So yeah the trade deadline is approaching i'll make a post the day after it saying what they did. Tomorrow i'll post about......
