NBA Trade Rumor: Is The Gooch Going to the Charlotte Bobcats?
It wouldn’t be the dramatic deal people are looking for to set the Boston Celtics on the path to re-booting around their young core, but it would give them some depth in backcourt: ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard is reporting that the Celts and the Charlotte Bobcats are discussing a deal that would send The Gooch south in exchange for D.J. Augustin.
Broussard says that the salaries don’t match up, so other players would have to be involved to even things out to make the deal work.
Adding Augustin seems like it would help the guard situation in Boston a bit – he can play point, can run and would be a serviceable backup for Rajon Rondo. D.J.’s not the best backup they could land in a trade, but he’s definitely cheaper.

I guess Boston should do it, if they can. But then Shelden would have to step up (or more likely, Celts would sign a vet big man for a lowball salary in a few weeks when some vets get bought out).
Better move by Boston would be to try to sell Charlotte on a Shelden for D.J. deal. (I still actually believe Shelden can play in the NBA–at least better than Sean May.)

Does Boston forget how valuable Glen “Lardass” Davis was to them last year in the playoffs when he was filling in for KG? They are gonna need that depth in the playoffs.

If they want depth in the backcourt, they should look at Ridnour

I don’t see how trading Big Baby for a guard makes the Celtics any better.
