Getting in on a blockbuster as a third team? 

Post#1 » by Ed Pinkney » Sat Feb 6, 2010 12:55 am

Is this a realistic option for us do you think? There may be some big names moving around come the deadline, can we get a quality rotation player as a third team using some of our expirings?

Who would be some realistic players we could get? Teams most likely to do something major are probably Houston, Washington, Philly, Chicago and possibly Dallas.

It's possible because of all the expiring contracts the Celtics have this season.

It is definatly possible but I can't think of a rotation player we could get. Houston and Dallas will want to hang on to anyone that will be handy in the playoffs. Was and Philly don't really have anyone cheap that I would want. AI? I don't think I would take him this late. Chicago has a ton of guys I would like to have on the Celtics so maybe but if they make a blockbuster trade they are landing a star player and consequently making a run this postseason and not looking to free agency.

Ainge has done it before with detroit getting sheed awhile back. I'd love to see him do it again.
