Down The Stretch

by Jeff Clark on Feb 19, 2009 1:10 PM EST in Boston Celtics Rumors

ESPN has a page set up for all the breaking rumors.

Yahoo is updating this article with rumors as they become available.

The biggest deal out there right now is Shaq maybe going to the Cavs, but it sounds like that is not going to happen. Portland is sending signals that they will stand pat (I'll believe it when I see it) and while Stoudamire is still out there, they might just be happy to keep him and keep scoring 140 points a night.

Other than the Nocioni rumor, I don't see anything to do with the Celtics yet. By the way, Chad Ford updated his rumor saying that the Celtics insist that they are not trading for Nocioni. I believe them. It never made much sense to me to begin with.

the Shaq thing

kinda worries me because it involves Ben Wallace and Pavlovic, meaning they could still use Wally to land someone like Richard Jefferson

I know that would be a really crazy chemistry shift for them, but imagine a lineup of

Mo Williams
Richard Jefferson
Lebron James
Big Z
Shaq

that’s kinda scary, don’t ya think?

I thought that Jerome James was already traded to Sacramento with McCants.

Oh wait, that was Calvin Booth.

Calvin Booth, Jerome James, they are the same 7 foot stiff from the same mold.

so I guess

you won’t like the new Marc Spears rumor

so, how is Booth any worse than Mihm?

I don’t, but Booth is…tall. Shoot I thought that was some boston.com staffer just speculating but it was Spears. I wonder if that was an official from another team just making fun of the Cs…

maybe we should just sign Marc Spears

Mihn is better. Mihm has a little jumper and hustles for rebounds. Of course Mihm commits a foul every ten seconds, but even then he’s better than Calvin Booth or Jerome James.

Mihm might be useful just for insight into how the Lakers play the Celtics. Of course that’s getting ahead of ourselves.

I dont understand why you guys want a rejected laker scrub on this team :/

by Marqui on Feb 19, 2009 2:05 PM EST reply actions

But he’s an ex-Celtic rejected Laker scrub. Hey, Don Nelson played for the Lakers too.

What the Suns Should Do

It’s obvious, isn’t it? They should just trade Shaq for Amare. They’d be in pretty much the same place, basketball and cap-wide, and Steve Kerr could tout this as a significant move to improve the team that he’s in the process of ruining.
