But Glenn, you can't guarantee that we'd get Okafor with those expirings and as you know without that guarantee we should not give up assets for other (likely better) assets.

BULLSHIT!

I'd deal Tay and Summers now for that package and take my chances before the deadline with the expirings, Kwame and whatever else we can plug into a package in an effort to grab a big man to team with Rip, BG and Nova for the long-term.

Only problem is: IF that deal with the Celtics happened now are those guys eligible for a package trade prior to the deadline?
