PrintPlease use this thread as a place to discuss trade rumors and news from the day. (Mods and authors, please update with the latest news as it becomes available - thanks)
In case you missed it, Nate Robinson should be a Celtic sometime today and it appears that Eddie House is on the way out. We'll update you when the final pieces are in place and the trade becomes official. via the Herald:
A Celtics source said yesterday there was a good chance that talks could stretch right up to today's trade deadline. The Celtics also hadn't closed the door on trading Ray Allen in a much bigger trade, though the source characterized the Celtics as reluctant to make such a deal. The possibility also remains that the Celtics could make more than one trade before today's deadline.
Remember, the deadline for deals is 3:00 PM EST. However, if the GMs are on the phone at the deadline, they can extend the deadline by staying on the phone to hammer out details. Also, we don't always hear about the last minute deals until several minutes or even hours after the deadline passes. So basically stay tuned all day.
News:
- Gary Washburn reports "A player from kings could be headed to boston" as part of McGrady deal.
- Sources: Martin heading to Rockets - TrueHoop Blog - ESPN
- Sources: Salmons to Bucks - TrueHoop Blog - ESPN
- Update: Suns' Owner: Amare unlikely to be traded - ESPN
- Update: Tyrus Thomas is headed to the Bobcats - Adrian Wojnarowski
- Update: Tracy McGrady is now a New York Knick - ESPN
While the Celtics have spent the past few weeks exploring their trade options with Allen, they don't expect to move the veteran shooting guard. The team is close to acquiring Nate Robinson from the New York Knicks, probably in exchange for Eddie House and J.R. Giddens. But Celtics president Danny Ainge called the potential for an Allen trade "highly unlikely."
House/Robinson Update - via Chris Sheridan
Multiple sources say the Knicks have reached a tentative agreement on a deal with Boston sending Nate Robinson and a second player to the Celtics for Eddie House, J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker. The identity of the second New York player was not immediately clear.
Update #2: According to RealGM, Marcus Landry will be the second New York player:
Marcus Landry will be the other player sent to Boston, according to a source that spoke with RealGM's Christopher Reina.
Update #3: The trade deadline has come and gone and nothing's official yet, according to Chris Forsberg's Twitter:
Still nothing official, according to C's. Still awaiting word from league. We're expected to chat with Doc around 12:30 here at team hotel.

Could that player from Sac to Celtics be Jason Thompson?
Trade tracker works with the Celtics getting Jason Thompson from Sac and Chandler & Robinson from the Knicks as part of the McGrady trade from Sac to NY-. We give up Scal, Eddie, Giddens, TA and Sheldon Williams.

Nonsense
There’s a higher probability that Quasimodo will jump from the 1400s to the present day through a wormhole and get traded in this deal than there is that Quis will.
Yeah it better be nonsense
Thats a sacking offence right there!

Quis? You better believe it's possible!
You may end up eating your words, according to this news report:
One league source claims that Marquis Daniels, who played for Donnie Walsh at Indiana, could replace House in the deal. The trade must be completed by today’s 3 p.m. trading deadline.

Good question
Was it not wanting Nocioni’s contract or did Sactown want someone like Landry in the deal? We didn’t have anyone to offer like him.

Condemning statement against BBD
The fact Houston seems like they’re gonna get K-Mart for nothing more than some slary relief and Landry/dorsey says everything you need to know about BBD. This is a confomation of what we all knew this past offseason. Teams just don’t see BBD as a very good player. He is about the best prospect we have. So, if he isn’t enough, than nothing is.
yeah
I don’t think anyone really considered Davis better than Landry
but I’m surprised that they gave in for so little

One problem with trading Davis
Is that he is a base-year compensation guy.
the day ain't over yet
Washburn reports that we might get a player from the Kings as part of the Knicks/McGrady deal (probably why the Robinson deal is held up)
I wouldn’t rule out another smallish type deal either
I suppose it is possible that a blockbuster could still get done, but other than Amare, I’m not sure who’s left to go after
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" Henry V
so would that make it a 4 team trade?
I thought players traded couldn’t be traded again within a certain time frame in combination withother players, only by themselves.
Washburn Comment Prior to Houston?
Looks like Washburn tweeted this before the Sac-Houston development was out there, so it may be moot now
NBATV is reporting
that we’re trading Eddie and a future 1st round. I’m thinking that’s a little too much for essentially a break even deal.

Eddie and the Absent Landlord
for Nate and Marcus James works though.
But maybe Danny doesn’t want to trade Sheldon, because I’ve yet to hear his name rumored
Let me get this straight...
We miss out on Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Kevin Martin to end up with Nate Robinson??? Yeah, that makes PERFECT sense.
Flame if you must, but I’m just really frustrated at the whole situation.*
No flame at all. It's the right outlook.
All Nate Robinson gives us is a player to replace Brian Scalabrine as the Celtic you’d least like to see on the floor. He’s a ball-hogging punk who plays no defense, never mind a team-oriented defense like the Celtics are supposed to be playing.

Not a flame
just not a factual statement.

Pressure not to deal with Boston?
Not sure if anyone else saw this or if it had been posted, but thought it was interesting:
According to sources, a handful of Eastern Conference GMs pressured Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld to shy away from the Boston deal for obvious reasons. "It would screw up the balance of power in the East for three years," one executive said. One theory circulating in Dallas is that Grunfeld didn’t want to alienate other teams he might need to do business with as he continues dismantling the roster in the wake of the Gilbert Arenas firearms fiasco.

Fans not only ones frustrated.
I’m sure Danny Ainge is frustrated as well. I’m sure if it was up to him he’d have been able to make a move for one of the many big name players he’s been rumored to have inquired about. There’s only so much he can do with the assets he has. He can’t make the other teams trade with him. I think it’s clear he’s trying,
Has a team ever had the current Dunk and 3pt champion?
I’m in a ’ looking on the bright side ’ kind of mood.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
No reigning 3pt champ and slamdunk champ on the same team, but Chicago was close
Jordan won the slam dunk contest in 1988 and Hodges won the 3pt contest in 1990
Correction. Miami had the reigning slamdunk champ and 3pt champ
Glen Rice and Harold Minor in 1995
That team won the championship, right?

Yep as I recall the '95 Heat

"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
My trade guess
Ray Allen goes to the Bulls for Hinrich and Tyrus Thomas, plus Chris Richard for salary ballast.
that would be awful.
I’m sorry, but that trade is good for Thomas, but Hinrich is a great bench player at best… def don’t like him as the starting SG.
Rondooooooo
I'd try to pry Jared Dudley from the Suns
He could do for the C’s what Matt Barnes has done for Orlando, making them a tougher team. I’d start Dudley and bring Ray Allen off the bench.
No assets?
Wow! I thought somebody might bite on Ray’s contract and BBD but I guess not.

Question
This all reminds me of the draft. Everyone gets excited, but the guy probably won’t play for awhile. Unless we do some trade with major players involved, what are the chances of whomever we get even getting playing time? Any player we get would have to be able to contribute this last part of the season, otherwise Doc won’t play them.
So, Nate for Eddie, then Nate has to play (I don’t see that as an improvement). If we get Kevin Martin, he’ll play. Nocioni, possibly.
I just see most of this talk, with the exception of dealing Ray; or Danny just completely ripping someone off, as pretty meaningless to the team for this year.
What is PHX Looking For Anyways?
They don’t seem to want to pay or draft anyone … other than Nash.
We can ship Ray, Perk and Scal/BBD (depending on whether they just want to get rid of salary or keep BBD), plus a pick for Amare & Richardson.
The trade would word. I just have no idea what PHX is trying to do the way they’ve been operating over the past couple years. I’ll take Amare & Richardson (in my dream world) and let Clifford and Tom T teach them how to play defense.
what if
we had traded pierce/perk after the ‘ship for anthony/camby like denver offered.. then took on noc’s contract… rondo, martin, anthony, garnett, camby. best starting 5 in the nba. good for short term in KG and camby, longterm with rondo martin and anthony. today the only deal i can see happening is allen for richardson. richardson’s deal ends I believe next year so he’d come off the books with pierce, freeing lots of cap space. the year after its KG and sheed. JRich is a few years younger than Ray, and gives us a lot more athleticism. (we’d have TWO dunk champs on our team)
oh ya, for sure.
might as well toss in Chauncy too

When did Den offer Carmelo and Camby? I dont remember that at all and I am pretty sure Danny would have done that deal.
All I remember
Is reading that Denver wanted pierce and up and coming perkins for anthony and salary dump camby. It was right after the 08 playoffs when Denver wanted to unload. Danny said no
by bleedgreen34 on Feb 18, 2010 9:41 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
that's a nice what if
I’d absolutely love to have picked up Carmelo when his stock was down. He is awesome.
I think the player we acquire from Sacramento is Ime Udoka.
Makes sense : cheap contract, expiring (less than 1 million $), a wing who can defend and hit the open three. A poor man’s Bruce Bowen that could get a spot in our rotation… and if he doesn’t, he doesn’t cost us anything so it’s a no risk move.
Cavs need some bench space
Let’s pick up Delonte and PO(we) for Scal
that’s a trade I could live with
Instead we get a midget?

Could Phoenix be...
…thinking that Amare will sign his 17 million dollar extension and they will have another season to deal him.
There would probably be less suitors because of the lockout at the end of the season
Teams would only be willing to give Phoenix expiring contracts, not young players with years left on their rookie deal.

Expiring Contract
If they’re so good to have, let’s just keep it -
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk
Expiring Contracts are Worthless
Once the trading deadline has passed. Except of course to Celtics’ management, which will see an 85 million-dollar payroll go to 63 million in one swell foop if none of the players with expiring deals is resigned. That saves a big luxury tax hit.
but
you still have to have a roster of at least 12 players – they are unlikely to sign all minimum salary guys and hope to pinch pennies next year
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" Henry V
They Will have the MLE, the LLE and that's it.
What else are they going to do? They will lose Robinson and Marquis Daniels at the end of the year, uness one of them is willing to play for the MLE or less. They have Bird rights on Ray Allen, but resigning him does zip for the team’s future. It’s like giving a drowning person a few more minutes to tread water. They have Bird rights on Tony Allen, but he’s just a complementary piece.
They also have to work out an extension with Perkins or lose him.
They don't have the LLE this year
they used it on Daniels. even though Daniels is a 1 year contract, they can’t use the LLE again this year.

Plus
Isn’t the minimum roster size 13 players? I really don’t understand the plan for next year…because there doesn’t seem to be one besides saving money. I hope I’m missing something.
Roster size is 12... and yea, I don't see the plan for next year either.
Keeping Ray likely means we resign him this summer on the cheap.
So we’ll have $60m tied up in 6 players… And MLE and vet exceptions to fill in the pieces.
Rondooooooo
From Coon's FAQ
From #66: “While individual teams are only required to carry 13 players (12 active and one inactive), the NBA also guarantees a league-wide average of at least 14 players per team. The league is surcharged if they do not meet this obligation.”
Wow. That’s a lot of minimum contracts (barring a Pierce or Perk trade).
call me crazy
No way Danny sits on Ray’s deal…it’s not in him…
Honorable Po midget comment remind me
Of time I have lunch with diminutive friend, Lo Nek. Waitress ask me “Do you like shrimp” and I say “Sure, he a great guy.”
not that you need my approval but...
Nate robinson for Eddie house is a very good trade.
Be that as it may…
by Kobe Won Kenobi on Feb 18, 2010 10:22 AM EST via mobile reply actions
The Knick fan comments for that article are split.
One funny one: “Eddie House my God is that the best they can get for Nate?”
Kevin Martin
After thinking about it, I’m not at all upset about losing Kevin Martin. He isn’t the answer.
I’m not upset about Antawn Jamison either. You don’t start a youth movement with 33 year-old players.
I see five teams that could potentially offer good basketball value for Ray:
1. GS (Ellis, Biedrins)
2. Philly (Iguodala)
3. Phoenix (Stoudamire)
4. Charlotte (Wallace, Diaw, Jackson)
5. Utah (Kirilenko, Boozer)
I hope that Ainge is talking to at least one of them.
And Chicago???
http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64831/20100218/chicagos_top_priority_is_dealing_hinrich/
Hinrich and Deng
or Hinrich, Thomas and Jerome James (RayRay Buyout)
Anyone of those would be a major
upgrade and yes I have Ellis #1 on hit parade as well. The Utah one is intriguing but, I don’t them giving up AK and Boozer/
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
30 days
Yep. I think the Bulls only makes sense if we assume to get ray back in 30
monta
i am a celtics fan living in the bay area. i go to warriors games regularly, and i can say with confidence that monta ellis is not worth pursuing. he is a great scorer and decent ball handler. he is very exciting to watch … but he has a lot of warts that become more apparent when you see a game in person. slow walks back to the bench, not paying attention to the game, body language, etc..
if the Cs leadership was in better shape (like in 2008) and more likely to have an impact on ellis’s development, i’d say go for it. today, however, i think that rondo and ellis would clash intensely.
At the end of the day...
Danny can only do so much…Wyc has the final say.
Yes Chicago is #6
Hinrich is a decent player. In fact, he’s a better all around player than Kevin Martin. They probably won’t move Deng.
Hurry Up Danny!
The window is closing!!!! Both on the trade deadline and on the opportunity to trade Ray Allen for a couple of younger players!
by funkstarrdeluxe on Feb 18, 2010 10:49 AM EST reply actions
MY TRADE IDEA!
House and a scrub for Nate.
Keep Ray Ray, sign him as a free agent with a hugely reduced contract, and let him retire gracefully with the Celtics. This will provide veteran leadership off the bench for years while we groom a SG that we actually want, rather than whatever joe-smoe is available in the next 3 hours.
Hopefully this move (which is most likely) will give most of these annoying Celtics ‘fans" a heart attack and I won’t have to read their blasphemy anymore. Get over it.
Or...
We can appease everyone by trading Ray for a lesser teams lesser starting and/or bench SG…. Which would be super duper exciting up until we realize that…
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW IS BETTER THAN THE DEVIL YOU DON’T.

I don't dislike it....
But if we’re truly trying to win a championship this season or next, we need to make a bigger move than just getting Nate Robinson.
There’s not a whole lot of time to “groom a SG that we actually want,” when KG is limping up and down the court and Paul’s PPG is the lowest it’s been since his rookie season ( http://www.nba.com/playerfile/paul_pierce/career_stats.html ).
If we want to win another one with those two guys, then we need to bring in some help, and one of the ways to do that would have been to trade Ray.
At this point I think they’ll most likely just do what you stevenfuzz suggested above though, and I will remain frustrated with the situation, yet understanding since the trade we needed never really materialized.
It's pretty obvious to me....
That most of the fans opinions on here are formed by lack of patients, fantasy, and reading bored “sports journalism”.
If you seriously think that Ray Allen, who has been the most consistent of the Big 3, is the catalyst for both the downfall and the resurgence of the Celtics (in trade), then this is completely delusional.
Everyone does realize there is a chance, and not a dream-chance, that the Celtics get their Mojo back… that KG gets a step back (he hasn’t been back on the floor all that long)… that pierce starts bleeding green in the fourth again… It’s not like this is impossible.
As i've pointed out to you before
I have yet to see anyone flatout say Ray is the sole reason this team is struggling… His contract is expiring and potentially valuable, it would be ashame not to explore options.
It’s pretty obvious to me that this team needs some sort of shakeup, and Nate Robinson is just a bandaid to cover it up.
Rondooooooo
Then
Maybe we should trade Rondo? I’m still upset over the Clippers game a few months ago… so… let’s shake it up!
People seriously become Monsters in Boston during the winter. I really feel bad for the Celtics that they have to deal with a fan-base that is so volatile.
right,
I’m sure they’d prefer to play in one of those empty stadiums, that’d be a lot of fun.
Dude, they get paid a lot of money, ultimately financed by these ‘monster’ fans emptying their wallets to watch them play a game. They can deal with the hype.
Thanks for the glimpse
behind the posts.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
I did not say he was the reason why we were struggling, I said he is clearly he fan favorite catalyst scapegoat for change.
He's a catalyst for change because....
He’s the only valuable bargaining chip we have, other than the pu pu platter of expiring contracts that is TA, Eddie, Scal and Sheldon Williams.
I don’t want to see Ray go any more than you. I think our point of contention is that you happen to believe the team, as is, can still win.
I, on the other hand, see a KG who is averaging career lows in ppg, bpg, and rpg, and has yet to fully recover from an injury he sustained midseason last year.
Just because you have a chip
Doesn’t mean you cash it in.
Which is why I said...
“If we want to win another one with those two guys, then we need to bring in some help, and one of the ways to do that would have been to trade Ray.
At this point I think they’ll most likely just do what you stevenfuzz suggested above though, and I will remain frustrated with the situation, yet understanding since the trade we needed never really materialized."
Gotta keep up. At this point, with what’s left out there, I agree you don’t necessarily cash that chip in cause you’d be getting 50 cents on the dollar for it.
You know...
I apologize for sounding like such a jerk… I guess I was just getting fed up…
Ray is one of the greats. He is going to have his moments this season, we ALL know it.
If we were getting an upgrade in return, a TRUE definite upgrade, like a Joe Johnson or Dwayne Wade or someone, I probably would be psyched. The problem is, I mean, Kevin Martin/Kurt Heinrik? The skill level of all these players is compatible to Ray right now, in his slump, I guess… but I just don’t see how trading a true great and getting stuck with a second-rate younger star helps us, at all.
We have Rondo for years to come. We should put the pieces we actually want around him when the time is right, not scar the team right now on a whim.
yeah most consistent
lol
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
No he's not either statisically or realistically.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
So anyone who disagrees with your rosay outlook should have a heart attack?
That’s good quality content you are adding here.
I said hoping, not should. So, here’s hoping.
And clearly my posts are less worthwhile than the new Celtics bandwagon 2010, where we check our pride at the door.
I agree...
let’s dismiss anyone who doesn’t agree with us as bandwagon fans and question whether they truly care about the team.
In my experience, most ppl posting on team blogs throughout the day on the trade deadline are just bandwagon fans that don’t give a shit. you’re totally right.
Congrats
I guess I totally agree with you now!
Hows’ this for quality content. I’m just shaking things up.
A Draft Pick???
So Ainge is also giving a draft pick for a two-month rental of Nate Robinson? If so, he ought to be fired. That would be Pitinoesque.
But maybe the pick is going to SAc as compensation for the other player who may be coming Boston’s way.
This has to be something bigger!
1- You don’t trade a #1 for Nate.
2- It’s questionable if you trade Eddie for Nate.
3- How could it possibly take this long to match salaries, I know it’s complicated, but these guys are supposed to know how this cap works.
4- If we get Noccioni back as the other player I’ll be… Not pleased!
This trade deadline is aging me 10 years!
And I’m already getting old. Imagine what it’s doing to Danny? I’ll be glad when the dust settles.
This seesaw game is making me less productive in my real life
Maybe non, depends on who you ask.
regardless -
they’re playing the LAKERS tonight – who’s staying up?
i am.
.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Can we sign him? He’d be a good high post backup center for us. I’d also like to see him and Nate standing next to each other on our bench, if you could get both of them in a shot. Z is like a 2 feet taller than Nate. Our team will look like the circus.
Yes, yes,,,
But how many aging big guys do we want to carry on this squad?
Not saying I would entirely disagree with a Big Z signing, I’m just not sure there’d be a place for him with Sheed, KG, Perk, and Davis.
Plus, like RJ87 said, he’s going back to Cleveland after 30 days anyway.
Golden State
Danny needs to get on the horn with the Warriors brass and convince them that us taking Maggette’s contract on is worth them sending us Ellis and Randolph in a Ray/Scal/Walker deal.
Perk/Wallace/Williams
KG/Baby/Randolph
Pierce/Maggette
Ellis/Daniels
Rondo/Robinson
Sign some scraps to fill out inactive roster space.
randolph, ellis, and maggette
you really think you’re going to pry away 3 of golden state’s top 5 players with ray’s contract? i didn’t know the trade deadline came with such hysteria!
randolph – young, talented, injury prone. 2 years in the league, and 96 games played. pass.
ellis – i posted about him above.
maggette – FT machine … also overpaid for an(other) injury prone player.
wake me up when we pass the trade deadline.
Z
If we sign him it’d be to mess up the Cavs. If signed with us he’d be sticking it to the Cavs who signed Shaq to play in front of him. Just a revenge thing and it would make for some funny pictures with Nate. I don’t think will happen. I’m just pissed that the Cavs ( with the best record in the league….) Just got an allstar for nothing. How come we never get to give up nothing and get allstars?
See KG trade, Summer, 2007....
Except we gave up Al, so, not really In guess.
The reason being is because Danny Ferry is doing all he can to keep Bronage in Ohio. Aint no telling wat else he had to give up (under the table) especially if the wizards plan to buy out Z. Theres some desperate things going on in cleveland..hope it works out cuz we all know wat happens next if it doesnt.

We go from all but getting Caron Butler and Antwan Jamison to seeing Cleveland grab Jamison for nothing and us making a desperation deal for Nate Rob in a matter of days. Not a good week to follow the Celts.
I should have read from the bottom of the string
‘cause everythnig about is idle speculation. Howevwer, even the bootm didn’t give me the answer…
It is 12:11PM EST. WHAT HAPPENED?
Nothing for the Celts yet...

Sac gets Lee and Lee comes to Boston. Sort of jives with Boston getting a player from Sac.
"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said
Obviously Ray will be part of it then.

Yes. I love it. Depending on who we trade of course
Whenever I worry about the Celtics, I just remember the 18 losses in a row and I think to myself "This isn't so bad"
So can we still rule out martin to bos?
If houston is the third team, maybe they still want those 20 mill. expiring, while also getting a player they can play everyday?

So essentially

I don’t even know what to say about that.
Haha
There is nothing I like about Marcus Landry…nothing. More than half his shots this seaon are from beyond the arc, yet he only hit 35 percent.
that doesn't work on the trade machine if it is landry, we must be getting a low paid scrub from sac
Here is a great 4 teams trade that works, with Bos/NY/Sac/Hous
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yz4n92c
Jason Thompson becomes redundant in Sacramento since they get Landry and Hill. Thus we get him, then trade Baby to Houston with Billy, and get Battier, who also becomes redundant in Houston since they get Martin and they already have Ariza.
Thoughts?
I still don’t see Houston trading Battier but who knows? :p
great!
Thompson can stuff KG and Perk on a daily basis then

undrafted and apparently untalented. too bad about losing Billy but he wasn’t playing here anyhow. Plus you never know he could be waived and we get him back. that seems to be what everyone else does. what a screwey league this is. pro sports is f’d up

Marcus Landry ??
Bill Walker is much better than him.
Danny must mistake him for Carl Landry !!
Sorry, but Bill Walker
…is not “much better than” anybody.
Danny wants Nate
And neither BIll or Laudry would play anyway.
energy guy
but he’s a hit or miss…can give you a 30pt off the bench performance then miss 90% of his shots the next…
High energy guy
…who fills the hole the Cs had (backup PG), and can score fast and in bunches. Given the offensive lapses this team has had recently, Danny felt that was another hole he could help fill.
At best he's a mrginal improvement over Eddie...
Neither can play D. All you add with Nate is the ability to drive and finish around the basket, but you sacrifice some shooting ability…. (and yes, i know their percentages from behind the arc are almost identical. But you tell me who you’d rather have shooting a clutch 3 in the 4th?)
That's not a minor advantage to Nate
It’s something Eddie literally cannot do, at all, and that’s huge for the bench.
No body is going for landry
They are going for working financials.
So we are getting Landry, a player who is averaging less than 2 points per game, in exchange, essentially for Walker AND Giddens? Makes no sense to me. Landry will never play. So the team will look like this??
Rondo/Robinson
Ray/ ???
Perk/Wallace
Pierce/Daniels
KG/BBD
Am I misssing something? Landry, Shelden and Scal waste away on the bench. Who backs up Ray? Who gets the rebounds on the second unit? BBD will get a few, but his height and weight limit him. Sheed getting rebounds depends on what kind of mood he is in that night. That’s it. Who is the shooter in the second unit? Wallace? We need him in the post. We need a player other than Landry who is actually going to play some minutes. If this the deal and the only deal, then I fail to see how we improve enought to win number 18. Has to be more going on her.
Aren’t we trying to rest our starters? Now it looks like Ray is going to see more time on the court.
Good point Justin Bobo. And this also leaves the possibility that Rondo and Robinson will be on the court at the same time. Not good when facing teams with bigger, physical guards.
I share your concerns
I just don’t see this as an ‘upgrade’ yet.
A lot of questions still to be answered.
Part of a bigger trade?
Maybe these are just fringe pieces for something bigger Danny is trying to do?

Yeah yeah, lame I know, just a dream bs statement, but, I dunno… watch Rudy.
oooh yeah...honestly, i loved that movie
with the way they play 3rd quarters and the way they (don’t) play D??? just being realistic here…
if KG gets to jump and move again, then maybe…or Pierce gets his mojo back… then just maybe…
don’t get me wrong, i do have faith, but maybe not this year with what this team has shown so far… still can change if they turn around their play though…
Must change "or" to "and"
KG needs to get back, Paul needs to get back, Perk needs to get back, and Ray needs to stay back. All those things must happen, concurrently, for the Cs to win. And they could.
Hopefully not. I am intrigued by bringing in another team. Gary Washburn reported this morning that the KIngs may be involved and that the 2nd player in the deal to the Celtics is coming from them. Even if it is their mascot, it will be better than bringing in Landry. We will know soon. I have resigned myself today to not getting much work done because of all this. God, we must all love the Celtics. And tonight, coffee and the Lakers…..
Who's even out there for Free Agents?

Jeff, how do you feel about acquiring Landry? Could it be that the Celts turn it around and send him out in another trade? Otherwise, it does not make much sense.
Very cool

It’s a good trade. Celtics traded House, a scorer with an expiring contract, for Nate, a better scorer also with an expiring contract. I know we’ve been trying to move JR Giddens, but Bill Walker??? I was not ready to give up on Walker, so hopefully Marcus Landry shows similar flashes of potential. While I’m upset we didn’t make a major move, clearly DA didn’t see anything he liked enough to pull the trigger. The season comes down to KG’s health anyways, and he’s playing on one leg still. Can we sit him periodically, please?
bleedgreen, you are so logical and sharp, while the rest of us just want this to be over with.
What’s your secret? Oil of Olay?
Positive note
Scalabrine and Shelden stay here
Scal can be a contributor
down the stretch. Will always hate how much we’re paying him, but he’s passable in the role he’s currently filling.
Expiring contract too, so why not hold onto him?
probably they did...
it’s just that nobody else wants him
does this mean Nate can play tonight?
and did he recover from his “flu like symptoms”?
When you look at Orlando’s bench and now Cleveland, it is clear that they have the better team on paper, 1 through 12. We had an opportunity to add quality at positions 9-12 and did not. But….I have been a Celtics fan since the days of Havliceck and White, and will go down swinging with them. We need to be healthy by April and to show the heart that we know lurks inside these players.
Landry will never play
ever, he might ride Scals’ warm up bike once in a while though!
Cheapness
The Robinson trade is neither here nor there. It will help a little if Robinson can handle the point better than House (both offensively and defensively).
My takeaway from this trading season is that Celtics management is unwilling to pay luxury tax unless the roster is good enough to be a clear contender. If that assumption is correct, the long slow decline begins in about 72 minutes.
That assumes...
…there was a trade available for a better player than Ray. It seemed like that was the case but given we haven’t seen anything, perhaps the best things Danny came across were versions of Hinrich/Thomas for Ray.

They did pay through the nose
But just curious. Wasn’t the team profitable? And if so, don’t all of those profits go back to Wyc and Company? I don’t know the answer, but asking to see if anyone else does.
You’re right. They paid a hefty price for a chance at three rings. They have one and put the Celtics back on the map, both as a competitive team and as a business. They understandably are unwilling to py anything more this year and probably figure they already received a good return on their three year investment.
From a business perspective, you can't blame them
Wyc was up front about being willing to go deep into luxury tax territory for a championship contender. If he deems this team is no longer a legit contender, it’s sensible for them to stop paying a premium.
Or they're clearing a roster spot
To add some veteran help after the trading deadline, something that would undoubtedly increase the luxury tax penalties…

Trade Exceptions
Teams have one year to complete a trade. Suppose I trade away a 5M dollar player and get a 4.25 million dollar player back. I could have taken back 6.25 million in salary (125% of 5M), but I did not. So I have a year to “use up” the remaining 2M.
That’s called a trade exception. You can’t combine it with other exceptions. You can split it up (e.g. acquire two 1M players) but you can’t go over the 2M amount. All trade exceptions expire one year after the date of the trade that gave rise to the exception.
if Scal got traded ...
would he still get his spray tan next week that he is scheduled for on 98.5 SportsHub?
If POwe comes back and produces - lots of people in here owe me and apology
but I won’t get it……LOL
Is it Soup Yet?
So, anything could be happening right?
Since basically ever 5 minutes a new eotw rumor comes out…
less than 1 hour remaining
our chance is getting smaller
So with 45 minutes left
…still no hard deal? I dunno… seems like a ridiculous way to run a business.
What are you gonna do?
Butler’s traded, Martin’s traded, even Salmon’s traded. That leaves Monta “I’m injured during trade week, lucky me!” Ellis, and Andre “My team is stingy” Iguodala.
I don’t think Philly likes us, and I don’t know if Danny likes Ellis.
Oh well.
I still want Ellis
With the caveat that he and RR would make for a small backcourt, I love his ability to create his own shot.

So....
Someone (don’t remember who) at some point said something about it being nice to have a rookie and get younger w/ Landry.
Landry = 24 year old rookie
Walker = 22 year old sophomore
I know Landry won’t play and is likely thrown in for the salaries anyway…. but, just saying.
Still rather have young(er) and (slightly more) experienced useless....
… but now I’m just nitpicking.
Yeah about Landry...
He’s only played in 17 games out of 53 for the Knicks. He’s just filler.
Landry is awful...
How did he get drafted?
I know nothing about him
How do you?
D’Antoni has this weird way of completely ignoring certain guys on his roster. Wait… so does Doc. Uh, so do a lot of coaches. But sometimes they ignore guys that have real potential. Like Lester Hudson. So I don’t know about Landry. He could suck, he could not. We’ll probably never find out, since Doc = D’Antoni when it comes to playing these guys.
Lester Hudson?
Let me know when he starts an all-star game….
by funkstarrdeluxe on Feb 18, 2010 2:52 PM EST up reply actions
Please expand on Lester Hudson's potential
And also list all of the other guys Doc has not played who are now making major contributions on other teams.
Lol
You know, you like to mention this a lot, but you don’t like to say who Doc has really forsaken. Hudson’s not even a PG, as far as Doc is concerned. There’s nothing wrong with that.
But Hudson has only been in 6 minutes in the last 5 games….that’s 1.2 min per game.
Hey
Did I say Lester is an All Star? Or a PG? I said… he had “potential”. Which he did, and has, and yet was ignored.
Anyway, I think not only is Landry not going to get PT, he’s not even going to be a Celtic… ASSUMING that there is actually a deal happening (which is not at all clear at this point). I’m hearing they’ll probably get rid of him immediately.
Interesting Factoid
Both Rajon Rondo and Nate Robinson were chosen with the 21st pick by the Phoenix Suns and then immediately traded.
Perk is a BEAST!!
So what would be too much to pay for Nate
House + Giddens would seem okish
Regardless of whether is is Shelden or Bill the Knickes have bent Danny over on this one and all for a guy they didn’t even want!
Another Year...
Another unhappy Knicks PG we take off their hands.
Next year: Chris Duhon.
My computer crashed two weeks ago...
…but now I´m in an Internet-shop to witness the trade deadline on Celticsblog.
In Danny we trust.
I'm trying to talk myself into Nate....
but when it comes down to it, I’m going to miss Eddie. And I think the C’s are going to miss his shooting come playoffs….. but I can live with this trade.
Nate will be good for the second unit, should help take some of the scoring burden off of sheed, he’s quick and dynamic, if Doc can teach him to play some D they’ll be ok.
Worst part of this trade is that TA isn’t involved. I was really looking forward to the day where I wouldn’t have to watch him slam easy layups too hard off the glass and look like a complete spaz on offense.
I'm also trying to talk myself in wanting Nate
Even worse, I’ve been trying to resign myself to the fact that this is all we’re gonna do.
I love Ray. But I’m disappointed.
Rondooooooo
why so upset?
TA has actually been playing fairly decent, at least by his standards anyways, lately
Yeah, I know.
It’s a personal thing between me and Tony.
I hate him for never reaching his much discussed potential and I hate his offensive game, he likely hates the things I yell when he bricks layups or takes an ill-advised jumper (if he can hear me on the court from sec. 314)

Great another commercial cycle. And then they say Danny will be on to report on the “deal or deals.”
Anything`s Possible!!! {KG...June, 2008}
Everything`s Impossible!!! {Wyc …Feb., 2010}
So.......
who wants to paraphrase here what DA says on WEEI so I don’t have to listen to those bozos?
Any takers?
Waiting for League Approval
Ordway says they are waiting for the league to approve it then Danny will be on. Keep dangling tha carrot.
SI reports
…that “league sources” confirm the deal: Nate + Landry for Eddie, Billy and JR.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/basketball/nba/02/17/trade.tracker/
If they buy Landry out
… they’re going to have to add at least 1 more player to get to the mandated minimum of 13.
So excited for the beginning of the Marcus Landry era
What number will he wear? What will his nickname be?
Ronnie Brewer to Memphis... FOR NOTHING!!!!!
Thanks Danny…
Yeah, but....
…the jazz were just looking to shed salary immediately, and Memphis could take on his contract without sending anyone back to Utah cause they’re under the cap. We would have had to send someone back cause we’re over the cap, and that wouldn’t have accomplished what the Jazz were looking to do.
I don't think there's anything Danny could have done different,
the right trade and the right trading partner just wasn’t out there this time around.
(This stage is called acceptance, it’s the one after denial)
Can someone tell me what's going on with Tiger Woods? I need to know!!
Seriously, Ordway and his slobs are out of touch. Who cares!?! Kill me!
Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry have been dealt to Boston for Eddie House, JR Giddens and Bill Walker, according to Alan Hahn of Newsday.
