Some familiar faces involved too.
T'wolves trade Sessions to Cavs - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached agreement on a trade that sends Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Timberwolves are expected to waive West, who has only $500,000 of his $4.7 million salary guaranteed next season. The Cavs also will get a second-round pick in the trade.
I sense a "bring back Delonte" comment coming in 3,... 2,... 1,...
(soon to be followed by 3 or 4 "are you kidding me???" comments)
Yeah, sometimes you guys are that predictable, ...and I dig that about you.
Update: In related (and no-sarcastic) news, Johnny Flynn will be sidelined for 3 to 4 months for hip surgery.

All of Minnesota
must be psyched to be getting Telfair back!
Marbury’s stats werent great but he actually ran the point pretty well for someone who signed close to the deadline
Agreed...he handled the point decently
Even though Starbury shot .342% FG and .462% FT as a Celtic…he was Michael Jordan when compared to Telfair!

it is an interesting question
He is probably too much of a loose cannon, but on the court he would be a solid bench player
the team could use a loose cannon -
- i wish marquis daniels would blow a gasket sometimes -
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk
dennis rodman still wants to come back
he’d fit in age wise and still is a loose cannon. ive always been a fan of his, he was the ultimate hustle player

Did everyone see the video of him on the motorcycle??
I was a big Delonte fan, however his time has pasted. I’m not he can fit here any longer.
I also think it is quite interesting how our past players keep making stops through Minn.
How about....
Sheed contract for Delonte and Brewer, Webster, Beasley or Koufos???
Webster!
Believe it or not, Martell webster is my favorite player. I watched Portland vs. LA game a couple months back, my god. He brings the mismatch, the Free throw and three point capability, and the athleticism like TA did. In my opinion, if i saw him wear Celtics Green, id forever be in debt of Danny Ainge :)

West or House?
We already have a midget backcourt as it is. But I’m curious given a choice, would you rather have West or House on the team for that 12th man spot….assuming of course both are amenable for the vet min.
house hands down
hes close with the team/ delonte is not
he was part of our championship team/ delonte was not
he hasnt gotten pulled over drunk with enough weaponry to kill a small town/ delonte HAS
DELONTE WESTTT
How else are we gonna kill Lebron and Wade? Plus getting the guy who allegedly slept with Lebron’s mom would prompt endless “WHO’S YOUR DADDY?” chants every time Delonte scores against Miami. You’re seriously telling me you’d pass that up?
But House hasn't boinked LeBrons mom...

Lock up your Moms
If Delonte comes here…watch out…he might put the moves on the maternal types.
Unless he’s still with the King’s mother…yikes!

Imagine all the fun Celtics fans could have
Heckling LeBron about his mom when Miami comes into town.

Well, the Celtics do have a need
For a gunslinger off the bench.
lebron may be heading south
but his mom is riding west

good trade for teh cav's still dont know what minny is up too
surprised and a little upset kostas koufas wasnt included in the deal. i was hoping to see the young duo of koufas and hickson.
sessions and hollins add depth to the team that i hear will play a suns style fast tempo offense this year. it’s yet to be seen what tehy do with jamison who i think they trade (to indy for murphy’s expiring deal and hansbrough would be good for both teams. hustle players always help.) they could try to play jamison at SF too which would work in an uptempo offense.
they could still add a few players in FA too.
as for minny, they are going to release west from what i hear saving $4m. putting them around $33-35m with more coming off next year. dont know what the plan is for tehm, they have me confused.

It's the pot
apparently Beasley isn’t the only one imbibing- Kahn must be on something.

always been a huge delonte fan
not because his game is perfect but because he could fit well on a championship team. He’s actually a great compliment to our bench backcourt of Robinson and Daniels. Would love to see him back in green

Yeah. I agree. For me anyway he has always been one of those that I never really wanted to see go.

Delonte
Can hit the 3, can play good d, can run the floor—if we can get him, grab him. No brainer.
And can only dribble the ball left!!!!!
it’s unbelievable to me that someone with this much ability can not dribble the basketball going to his right; combine this flaw with his mental health issues I can’t see Danny and Doc wanting him back.
This flaw in his game was acknowledged when we drafted him.
Why he hasn’t addressed the flaw himself after all these years in the league is beyond me. He was never on the list of my favorite Celtics and I was kind of glad when he was traded away.
He did hustle and gather many Tommy Points while he was a Celtic, but for some reason, that actually put me off of him. I thought that he would injure another player some day with the helter-skelter approach to the game.

wow
i think minny gave away assets. Hollins can develope a tyson chandler type game.
i think he will be the starting center for cleveland.
hell nah we got marquis
delonte got issues,i’d prefer to bring house back and howard or POSEY! with sheed’s contract
Get Delonte and Taylor Griffin!
Suns waived Griffin earlier today

Delonte is not only an awesome character and was loved during his time here in Boston, but he is a grossly underrated basketball player (I know, probably due to his personal problems), but the dude can ball.
Agreed
Don’t forget, before he was traded to seattle him and Rondo were swapping the starting PG role. There is no doubt now that rondo is the better player, but D-West is a really solid player, and I bet he would love to come back to Mass. He can play one or two, so the second unit would be really filled out.
not true... Telfair and West did most of the starting that year at PG, with Telfair getting a lot more starts than Rajon
that’s what makes the trade more of a coincidence

You're Kidding, Right?
He so good that he can’t dribble the basketball going right.
Poor Telfair
It seems Telfair changes team every year. He got shipped around quite often.
maybe the celtics should be able to control delonte.
they handled Stephon Marbury and Rasheed Wallace, why not Delonte West? He was maybe a gun bringing dope but he’s good in the court, can give you quality minutes and he can hit shots. Maybe it will not hurt to bring him back for the vet. minimum. He, maybe can be controlled by KG and Doc I believe.
Who needs a bit player that needs to be controlled? If he was a star with problems, sure,
but he’s not and therefore not worth the trouble. We don’t need him anyway, we need a big and a sf. Stop with all the nonsense! Delonte DOES NOT FIT A NEED.
Controlled by KG and Doc?
he’s under control as long as he takes his medication. But that doesn’t help him dribble right, maybe there is a med for dribbling right.
Why, when addressing adding a player to the roster that has a sketchy background,
do people go to the “he can be controlled by KG, etc.” rational?
How exactly was Sheed handled or controlled? Did he modify his behavior on the court and reduce his technical fouls? No, he continued to rack them up so that he was on the verge of a game suspension at the end of the season.
How exactly was Marbury handled or controlled? When he was all but given a spot on the roster for the next year, he went all crazy with the 24-7 video thing. He became a PR nightmare for the team and they removed the offer later that summer.
When a player has “issues”, just expect them to crop up at the most inopportune times. Then you will not be so disappointed when the trend continues.
