Are You Listening Wyc, Steve, and Danny?



Hard to believe this is true, but if Insider is right and 
Miami is willing to include Caron Butler in a deal as an incentive for a team taking Eddie Jones' contract, then the Celtics really truly need to be involved. Frankly, I don't believe it, but talk about a super infusion of talent for a minimal price.

For instance, the Celtics could do a:

Battie, Williams, Mills for Butler, Jones, and Walker trade;
heck, even toss in Kedrick Brown (no longer needed) or a draft pick or two. 

And it's a win - win situation for both clubs. The Celtics add the scorers they badly need and Miami picks up a center and cap space.

True the Celtics take a bit of a cap and luxury tax hit, but then there's the extra revenue that would result from the added playoff games, quite possibly many added playoff games generated from the talent upgrade both this and future seasons. 

Think about it: Pierce with Jones and Butler, and hard to believe the Celtics wouldn't contend for the EC Title. Beating one of the WC elite would still be doubtful, but the team would certainly be much competetive.
