Its on the wiretap its says we dont have what you want but I just thought it was interesting. Wonder if maybe it could lead to Ray Allen and other pieces for Crash and Bell?

No way would the Celts move ray Allen they would love to have a vet like Bell but they lack attractive pieces.

How is that supossed to work? Following the very safe assumption that KG\Pierce\Ray Allen\Rondo will not be involved, who are they going to give us? Perkins? Eddie House? no thanks....

I am more curious about the so called 2 for 1 we have brewing.

But according to Bonnell, looks like no deals coming down before the deadline.

Celtics have nothing I want. Not even Rondo, who is overrated and I think Felton is better than Rondo. I wouldn't even take Ray Allen from them.

As for Bonnell, I agree and I will be very surprised if we make a trade before the deadline. I'm really excited that we will, but we've made enough trades and the Cats obviously aren't pulling the trigger if it doesn't make them better.

If it doesn't involve Pierce of Garnett then no.

As tough as it may be for Boston fans, we Charlotte fans weren't born last night! To get you have to give. And I'm not talking your 11th and 12th roster spot guys, Celtics!

Our front office has shown amazing restraint in our 2009 building project- finding those diamonds in the rough that were either unappreciated or underutilized by their respective teams. And the cost to us has been bench players...with one exception being Jason Richardson.

I agree with the front office that we need to listen to folks to see if we can better ourselves. If we didn't get starstruck listening to the Lakers in dealing Morrison and Brown for Radmanovic, why should we go brain-dead because "THE CELTICS" want Raja. We want him too, and he's on OUR roster. Give to get, Boston! We'll let you have Raja, but you'll bust your core to do it.

Claw on Bobcats!

Out of curiosity I'd like to see some really good offers come in for Raja just to see how much LB values him.

I'm thinking a lot.

Dear Lord, please let the 2 for 1 somehow involve Nazr leaving.

Can't honestly see the Celtics landing Bell without a 3rd team being involved.

It will be very difficult for the Celtics to make a deal for Raja unless Charlotte is dumb enough to give him away for very little in return unless, of course, another team is involved as someone suggested. More realistically, the Celtics will likely pick up Stephon Marbury (click here for latest Marbury rumor) once the Knicks buy him out of his contract after tomorrow's trade deadline.

Marbury fills a need, but the C's are desperate for a defensive-minded center/power forward who can come off the bench and give Perkins and Garnett a break for a few minutes.

Nazzy for Scal and House.

House is an expiring. Scal is half as much and 1 year less than Nazzy.
