Unlikely. The moment we made that trade, the bucks are in playoff contention. Sanders just got released. They need size and length up front and henson is a good rotation guy for them.

Not sure what this accomplishes except we lose our best shooter and add money to the future I believe.
I like Bradley, but I wouldn't go out of my way to acquire him.
Dieng and Olynyk are essentially the same value, maybe Dieng has more. Doubt Flip would do that part of the trade.
I'm not opposed to trading Martin or Dieng, but we have to get better in some way because of the trade(s). I wish we could get Terrence Jones, but that's looking unlikely.

It gives us a solid backup pg to rubio in bradley who is also a top notch guard defender( 2 things we really need). Bradley as a combo guard would work nicely with lavine and can also play alongside rubio. I dont think boston would trade bradley straight up for martin and I agree with you that dieng has more value than olynyk and thats why his inclusion might make the trade possible. I'l consider it only if we are assured of towns or okafor.

He makes the same or slightly more than calderon I believe. I know you wanted calderon cam. Bradley can play alongside rubio and can guard both guard spots. If lavine develops into a starting caliber sg that we hoped for then a 3 guard rotation of him, rubio and bradley is a solid one.

And a 1st? No chance.
By most (all) reports, Boston really digs Bradley. He's still fairly young (24), a heckuva defender and has a decent contract ($8M/yr) through 2018. Martin doesn't seem to fit with what Boston is putting together.
Here's an article about the Celtics refusing to trade Bradley earlier this season:

I don't know why Dieng has more value at this point than Olynyk. I can see it being comparable though.
