8. Trade for Omer Asik

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

The Houston Rocket aren't going to get a better offer than what the Celtics had offered last week for Omer Asik. Houston will eventually accept to acquire Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee, and a first-round draft pick from the Clippers. Bass and Lee would be extremely helpful for a playoff run. Asik isn't exactly a piece for the future, rather a valuable trading piece next season because of his expiring contract.

Celtics Get: Omer Asik

Rockets Get: Bass, Lee, first-round pick (LAC '15)

7. Trade Gerald Wallace

Gerald Wallace's contract is ridiculous. The Celtics need to do anything necessary to get Wallace off their hands. Perhaps a team looking for a veteran presence would be interested. The Charlotte Bobcats could use someone like Wallace. Ben Gordon's expiring contract would work nicely in return for Boston. Detroit Pistons' Charlie Villanueva also has an expiring contract. Other than that, the market would be very thin. Perhaps throwing a first-round pick would help.

Celtics Get: Ben Gordon

Bobcats Get: Gerald Wallace, Keith Bogans, first-round pick (Bos '16)

6. Trade Rajon Rondo

Rajon Rondo is a special kind of player. However, it is time to move on from the point guard. The Celtics can get back the most value with Rondo's services. A trade that has been thrown out there involves Rondo going to Sacremento for Ben McLemore, Isaiah Thomas, and a couple first-round picks. That is the kind of package the Celtics should be looking for in return for Rondo.

Celtics Get: Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore, Carl Landry, two first-round draft picks (2014,2016)

Kings Get: Rajon Rondo

5. Trade Jeff Green for Dion Waiters

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Jeff Green is a personal favorite of mine, so seeing him go would be extremely difficult. However, a trade that involves acquiring Dion Waiters might be worth a look. Waiters has a great amount of scoring ability, but can't live up to his full potential with Kyrie Irving being the focal point of the offense. Waiters is much younger than Green, and could be a valuable trading chip, or if Avery Bradley doesn't resign, an important part of the Celtics going forward.

Celtics get: Dion Waiters, Alonzo Gee

Cavaliers get: Jeff Green, MarShon Brooks

4. Acquire Kevin Love

This may be a dream scenario, but I'll put it on the table anyway. If Minnesota doesn't make the playoffs, Kevin Love won't be a happy camper. It may be in the best interest of the T-wolves to get something in return for him before he walks away. If the Celtics pull off the previous trades, they may have the means to acquire Love in the off-season. They would most likely have a top-10 pick among many other future first-rounders, plus a number of young assets. This is where Asik's expiring contract comes in handy.

Celtics Get: Kevin Love

Minnesota Gets: Omer Asik, Dion Waiters, 3 1st-rounders (Bos '14, Bos '15, Sac '16), and if necessary, Ben McLemore or Kelly Olynyk

3. Draft a Forward

With all these trades, the Celtics would be in the lottery. However, considering this fantasy situation, that pick would be owned by Minnesota. Boston would then have the lesser of the Nets' or Hawks' draft picks. That would probably end up being in the high teens, low 20s. The Celtics would have a glaring need at the forward position. Some forward that may be available at the time may be Dario Saric, Doug McDermott, Adreian Payne, or Montrezl Harrell.

2. Free Agency

Mark L. Baer-USA TODAY Sports

2014 Free Agents (if previous scenarios occur)

Avery Bradley: re-sign 4 yr $24 million.

Jordan Crawford : re-sign 3 yr $14 million.

Isaiah Thomas: re-sign 3 yr $15 million.

Kris Humphries: don't re-sign and free up $12 million.

Carl Landry: Player option for $4 million; Might not take it due to lack of playing time. Frees up $4 million.

Charlie Villanueva or Ben Gordon: free up $8 million and/or 12 million.

The Boston Celtics will find themselves in a good salary cap situation.

1. 2014-15 Boston Celtics Roster

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Imagine a combination of Sullinger and Love? Those two players would benefit very much from each other. Brad Stevens would have a very nice looking roster on his hands. Plus, everyone is under the age of 27. The only glaring weakness would be at small forward.

Kevin Love (age 26), Jared Sullinger (22), Alonzo Gee (27), Avery Bradley (24), Isaiah Thomas (25)

Bench: Vitor Faverani (26), Kelly Olynyk (23), Dario Saric/Doug McDermott, Ben McLemore (21), Jordan Crawford (26), Phil Pressey (23)

With just a few tweaks, this could be a very competitive roster. the moves may be far-fetched, but that's my idea of a rebuild.
