Dave - Boston: Celtics get anything done?

SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:09 PM ET ) We keep hearing all morning that the Celtics were talking to the Kings about a deal for Nocioni. The Kings can move him again as long as they don't package him with other players on their roster. The Celtics would send back Scalabrine, Tony Allen, Glen Davis and Patrick O'Bryant. However, a Celtics source says there's nothing happening there. A Kings source, however, says it would be a possibility. I wonder why the Celtics WOULDN'T do that. Nocioni would be a great piece for them.

Sounds like Petrie doesn't want to move Noc.

HUMMMM. Turning Nocioni into a tiny EXP in Davis, a two year small contract in O'Bryant andtwo tinier contracts in Allen/Scalla?

Means we'd have to cut two people again.

I'd rather have Noc...did I just say that?

I just read a rumor the Kings may move K9 to the Knick for Nate Robinson and Jefferis. Geoff must really like Nate.

That's absolutely stupid. We're willing to dump Brad Miller and John Salmons, but we like Noc too much to dump?

PLEASE MAKE THIS TRADE!

RoyalCourtJestr · Post #8 » by **RoyalCourtJestr** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:43 pm

I'm seeing no one else around even considering this besides Ford, so... I'd like it.

And HELLS NO to K9 for Jeffers crap and Nate, even if it's Nate.

Nocioni
One of the most intriguing deals discussed on deadline day has to be Andres Nocioni winding up with the defending champs.

It's unclear, as the final half-hour before the trade buzzer ticks away, which team actually halted these discussions. We've heard conflicting claims from both teams on who withdrew first.

Yet we do have agreement that the Celtics and Kings talked seriously Thursday about sending Nocioni to the Celts, which seemingly would have been a huge coup for Boston given the hole created by James Posey's departure in the offseason. Nocioni is a rugged, versatile, two-position forward who does a lot of the same stuff.

The deal likely would have required Boston to part with at least four players from its oft-criticized bench: Glen Davis, Brian Scalabrine, Patrick O'Bryant and the injured Tony Allen. Sacramento can only move Nocioni on his own after acquiring him only Wednesday in the Brad Miller/John Salmons deal with Chicago, since players can't be packaged in subsequent deals until 60 days have passed after being traded.

It would figure that the length and cost of Nocioni's contract are what gave the Celtics pause, since Nocioni has three guaranteed years worth more than $20 million left on his deal after this season. That's more money in the same span than Posey will earn from the Hornets, who were able to sign Posey because the Celtics deemed a four-year guaranteed contract too rich to match.

But it must have been tough for the Celts to resist -- if they indeed balked first -- because Nocioni could have filled such a big need.

CRAP!

The Celtics have traded center Patrick O'Bryant to the Sacramento Kings.

According to an NBA source, the move was made for salary cap reasons and Boston will not get a player in return.

WTF? Really? o-o How is that possible?

I am sure Petrie traded for Nocioni because he liked him in some way and the reports are coming out that that might be the case.

I don't mind Patrick O'Bryant... I think he'll make a good backup for this worst team bound team... maybe they'll be waiving Booth now? Or maybe Moore?

Please NO JEFFRIES!

The Celtics have traded backup center Patrick O'Bryant to the Sacramento Kings. The move was made for salary-cap purposes and the club will not receive a player in return, according to an NBA source.

There is the possibility that the club will receive a draft pick in exchange for the 7-footer, who averaged 1.5 points in 26 games for the Celtics after signing as a free agent in the offseason.

O'Bryant was not at the Celtics' shootaround this afternoon.

Ugh, draft pick? Hopefully like a protected 2014 2nd Rd or something ahaha.

New York has said no thanks to K9 for Jeffers/Robinson.

RIPskaterdude · Post #17 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:54 pm

NY said no to the trade...but I think we must have waived Booth. Weren't we already at 15 players before the trade?

chriswebb86 · Post #18 » by **chriswebb86** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:55 pm

I guess we are getting a major youth movement in.
