Why the hell would Boston want Wallace? He's aging and has a terrible contract. I feel bad for Gerald. His entire career has been wasted on garbage teams.

Crash makes numbers work. Looks like Brooklyn not willing to give up Lopez. Humphries and Wallace are evidently expendable. Numbers still should not work, Nets are over luxury tax cap so it is 125% + 100k not 150% + 100k or in this case 100% + 5M. But they should just throw in Taylor.

@WojYahooNBA: The Celtics are discussing the possibility of including either guard Jason Terry or Courtney Lee in the package, sources tell Y! Sports.

Wouldn't mind us getting in that deal and trying to get Humphries for the 35th time.

I went by my heart, Tylor and Sehngelia may not be enough with their current salaries, so rather Watson and one of them. But it is rumoured ot be bigger anyway so I am not goign to check it.

Pistons fans are like :nonono:

Bobcats/Hornets fans are like :nod:

I don't know how Joe Dumars still has his job in Detroit other than that one championship he stumbled upon with a strong group of role players. He's almost as worst as Bryan Colangelo in Toronto was. Dumars will never give up on Rodney Stuckey becoming the next Chauncey Billups

Charlotte will strike gold in the 2015 or 2016 draft, thanks to Detroit

Probably thinks he can use Stuckey's salary in a S&T for Mayo or something. I love Joe Dumars.

The New York Knicks are close to a trade with the Toronto Raptors for Andrea Bargnani.

The Knicks would send Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, a first round pick and a second round pick to the Raptors.

Ujiri Masai is a genius.

Knicks are about as dumb as Detroit.

Bargnani on the Knicks should be fun, a Triple Threat Match may breakout during the game between Melo, STAT, and Bargs. There is only one ball.

I knew Steve Novak days in NY were numbered once they drafted Tim Hardaway Jr. I don't think it is as bad of a deal as it may seem. The Knicks don't value draft picks as much being that they are contenders likely to be selecting no earlier than late in the 1st round, and Andrea Bargnani would be more resourceful to them than a corpse of Marcus Camby & Novak warming the bench. Both Camby & Novak (total of appx $15 million for the next 2 seasons) are under contract thru to the 2014-15 season the same as Bargnani (total of appx $23 million for the next 2 seasons)

Its funny to go the Celtics board and read the trades their posters put together.

They overvalue their players soooo much.

Their fans are pretty ignorant to value, and all the trades they offer are soo scewed in their favor its not worth reading. They think Jeff Green+contracts will land them kevin Love....

They refuse to just face the fact they are going to have to rebuild.

As someone who roomed with a hardcore Celtics fan last year, 100% true. You'd think Jeff Green was the second coming of Jordan and Avery Bradley was the best defensive player in NBA history.

I thought the Afflalo-Bledsoe deal between ORL & LAC was pretty much an inevitable done deal, but I guess not

Is she saying Bucks not trying to bring back Jennings?

The Bucks & Jennings aren't exactly on good terms, sort of like a bad relationship just lingering on. They both want to move on from each other, but circumstances may cause them to stick it out for at least another year. If Milwaukee could land Bledsoe in a deal for Redick, then Jennings is as good as gone. If Milwaukee doesn't land Bledsoe or some other perceived starting caliber PG, then they are likely to match any offer Jennings receive this offseason as a restricted free agent

I'm kind of surprised, but not really. These numbers may have some affect to how much Gerald Henderson's agent demand from Charlotte

Liver_Pooty · Post #1059 » by **Liver_Pooty** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 9:36 pm

Henderson never had a season like Evans did his rookie year. Apparently the Pelicans think a change of scenery will help, but Hendersons agent will definitely ask more now.

tyreke still has all star potential. probably won't ever be one but it's plausible
