Rockets Land Ariza

More dominos falling into place.

The Globe reports:

The Boston Globe reports that a source close to the situation says Lakers forward Trevor Ariza has agreed in principle to sign with Houston in a five-year deal worth $33 million.

Also, Wojo is saying

After losing out on Artest and Ariza, the Cleveland Cavaliers are discussing a possible sign-and-trade deal for Toronto Raptors swingman Anthony Parker, two league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday night.

No deal is imminent, sources say, but talks were continuing.

why do the cavs want Parker so badly?

they don’t need him. Unless it’s to block the celtics

Barnes would be great

I think Parker is overated, I ’d rather go with Q Ross and pay less

good idea

who would the cavs trade, Verajao? We could trade TA+Scal+Giddens, although I kinda want to keep scal

$6.6 Million a year for Ariza???

Man, that’s a lot of dough for a guy with his paltry stats.

i guess he was on comcast tonight and said sheed

was leaning toward the spurs because he could start and he felt grant hill ends up in boston

quick, pull out the old videos of great celtics 6th men!

show him McHale, Havlicek, and Walton coming off the bench

by hpantazo on Jul 2, 2009 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He said as of yesterday, before the celtics met with him sheed was 51% towards spurs and 49% towards celtics, because spurs can offer him a starting spot.

I actually live in boston and watched the show live, I didn’t get a second hand account of what happened.

said

if boston cant get sheed…it might be mcdyess and grant hill due to his relationship with doc

by celticinorlando on Jul 2, 2009 10:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

sounds reasonable

and might even be a better fit

That'd be okay

I’d definitely still want to bring back Baby and Marbury too.

by Mencius on Jul 2, 2009 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And on another note about Baby

If Danny’s not bringing him back, I hope we can sign and trade him for maybe a backup 3. I’d be over the moon for a sign and trade of Baby for a signed and traded Marion.

Not surprising

I always doubted he would want to come off the bench. If the Spurs want him, it makes sense. Still, he doesn’t seem like the kind of player you expect the Spurs to want.

by guava_wrench on Jul 2, 2009 10:55 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Desparate times

The Spurs would have a pretty serious 5 of their own in Duncan, Sheed, RJ, Manu, and Parker. That’s seriously nice right there and would be the Lakers only serious competition in the west.

by Mencius on Jul 2, 2009 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The blazers are going to get the number 1 seed in the west next year For sure

they never loose at home and in the end of the year they started winning all their road games too.. plus their young guns will only get better

And to think, some idiot on this blog this morning was saying nothing would happen quickly. (Oh wait, that was me.)

by no kidding on Jul 2, 2009 11:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

but is it a lock mcdyess lands in boston?

i feel queezy thinking he automatically comes here if sheed doesn’t

by celticinorlando on Jul 2, 2009 11:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Being patient, but.....

I remember last season when we waited, waited and waited, lost Posey and signed POB. All of the other contenders seem to be making moves much more quickly than Danny. Just don’t want to be stuck signing the dregs and having to depend on Robert Swift as our backup center.

by vinnie on Jul 2, 2009 11:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Rockets got a good deal

…they get a young up-and-coming great player, while getting rid of an overrated nutcase. About time that poor team caught a break.

Cavs look desperate

The Cavs are scrambling like a team with a one year window to win a title…..oh yeah

Sign and Trade

If Detroit is so interested in Big Baby, how about a Sign and Trade: $6+ Million for 2 years and trade BBD to Detroit for a signed and traded Wallace?

by VtCeltics on Jul 3, 2009 2:55 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

windows

Jack, you are so right about the window of opportunity. Ours is due to age, Cleveland’s is due to LeBron leaving! If we don’t get Wallace I hope we can convince McDyess to come to Boston and then sign and trade BB for a legit back up center. Hill, Ross or Barnes can be had for the wing and we may or may not need a backup point as Hill can play that for the 8-10 minutes Rondo won’t be on the floor.
