Celtics Trades That Almost Happened

It's rumored that the Celtics almost broke up the big 3 here are 2 interesting trades:
As the NBA trade deadline lurched into its final hour a month ago, league sources say the call Ray Allen long feared had come: Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers was on the line, telling him he had been traded. Allen had been sent to the Memphis Grizzlies for a package including O.J. Mayo and a draft pick, and the Celtics' Big Three had come to a most brusque ending.

Before the Big Three could make it past the trade deadline, Allen-to-the-Grizzlies had to fall apart and discussions on a deal that would have sent Paul Pierce to the New Jersey Nets for an expiring Mehmet Okur contract and a lottery pick never reached completion, league sources said.

First of all, not all people believed the Celtics could have this type of resurgence, second of all Danny did the right thing by leaving it alone.

But I am intrigued by the OJ Mayo one, if we had Rajon, Bass, Mayo and Avery going into next year, and even a healthy Mayo this year, we may have been better.

I definitely wouldn't have done the Pierce to Nets deals. But it's funny how the Nets Panic'd and did that exact same deal for Gerald Wallace.... womp womp.
