Various Rumors

Also in trade news, Brian Scalabrine is available… as is the ghost of Vin Baker.

There are a few chips there that would interest me. Anything we can afford?

So teams are pushing bad or underachieving players with bad contracts. What else is new?

With the exception of Felton, who has been a disappointment, the Celtics do not have the salaries to get any of those players without either trading one of the big three or completely decimating the bench.

looking at what’s out there and at what price, turns out Posey would have been a bargain. sigh….. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but damn!

Anyway, I think Larry Hughes would be great for our bench to replace Tony Allen. Makes too much money though.

what about a baby trade to chicago for his lsu nunning mate thomas?

Salary doesn’t match – You would have to offer Scal – Chicago wouldn’t listen -

Here’s one for fantasy – Ray for Kamen and Camby

Doc mentions needing “length” and there is length at end of bench. I very much want to believe that POB is another Danny steal and he hasn’t looked like a stiff when he’s out there in garbage time but how else can we view his DNP’s other than as a verdict.
Anybody like Stromile Swift for length?

The ONLY reason GS might not hang up the phone is that they’ve already soured on Magette, and he’s got a fairly expensive 5 year contract they’d like to get out from under. This worked on trade checker:

Scal, Tony, Giddens, Sam, and cash (3 mil of Wyc’s money) for Magette.

Scal, Tony and Giddens all expire after next year. Sam, this year. They’d just cut Sam immediately.

Not much in it for them other than a pure salary dump, and I suspect they could do much better than this package if they had a mind to trade Magette.

 If they had any interest in Baby, I’d send him instead of (or in addition to) Giddens.

Not likely, but Magette would sure solve a lot of offensive problems on the second unit.
