Bullets Forever ‏@BulletsForever
OK NEVERMIND THEN. MT @daldridgetnt: Wizards/Celts deal sending Jordan Crawford to Boston will not be for C Fab Melo, per source.

Party's not over yet

That means Ernie read this thread and realized it wasn't for Carmelo Anthony. Hey this board has a purpose!

So has anyone seen Fab Melo player in the NBA ?

Anyone ?

Yeah it'll probably end up being a 2nd round pick or some other trash.

I'd rather it be a second round pick than Fab not Melo, Melo.

The celtics dont really any have any pieces that make me happy. Ill take a 1st rounder and a new GM.

No need for a sweetner like the first from them. New GM would be better than our #1 this year.

Celtics will send the Leandro Barbosa expiring contract to the Wizards for Jordan Crawford, league source tells Y! Sports.

RT @wojyahoonba: Celtics will send the Leandro Barbosa expiring contract to the Wizards for Jordan Crawford, league source tells Y! Sports.

I don't get this move, asides from wanting Crawford off the roster.

So what, we saved 2M?

Woj says the deal is for the expiring contract/rotting corpse of Leandro Barbosa. So the Wizards got literally nothing for Crawford. Only Ernie can make getting rid of a guy like Crawford a bad deal. HA!!!!

Something MUST have happened behind the scenes....

Ugh - so we trade viable role player for a guy who is out for the year? Brilliant...just F'n brilliant

Just when you think the trade couldn't get any worse..

At least with Fab, we had a potential asset...

AFM · Post #35 » by **AFM** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 7:07 pm

We literally got less than nothing. It's amazing.

If this goes down as-is, I think the chants of 'Fire Ernie' will only get louder...

What a deal for the celtics. They trade literally nothing and get a young player back. Wow.

Higga · Post #38 » by **Higga** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 7:10 pm

Why trade Chuck for an expiring? It's not like his contract was terrible. Flawed player sure but still a talented young player and you trade him for Leandro **** Barbosa?

Ernie Grunfeld...worst GM ever. And Leonsis is worse than Pollin.

Exactly, it's not like we dumped a large salary. We dumped a guy making 2M. Why?
