The Celtics are not going to trade Perkins, they're too close to having a Championship Roster in place. If they were to trade Perkins to Houston they'd have to start with getting back Scola and Battier and that's probably AS unappealing to you as trading Perkins for Battier is for us (except that we're actually competing for a Championship so the stakes are much, much higher).

Brooks for Flynn is a massive talent downgrade for us. But i'm sure Flynn is willing to come off the bench and behave. Thats the only plus.

Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine up in Chicago and he actually went to the "Houston isn't being fair!" card! :lol: According to him, Houston should have made the trade for the Miami pick and some scrub I can't remember and that it's "not fair" that they're holding out for Asik and a better pick.

I told him to go "tell on us" to Stern. He didn't think it was as funny as I did. :lol:
