Just want to see what some people are thinking about after this deal with cassel and now all chances of Joe smith coming to Boston out of the window. What do you think will be the Celts next move? I cant say specifics but i dont think were going to be signing anyone I believe that Danny did this because he knew he had a backup plan with perhaps a trade in case he couldn't sign anyone (P.J.,Zo,and Joe) So now that those are gone i believe he makes a 2 for 1 or 3 celts for 2 whomever. Just want to see what everyone is thinking! Go C's and lets make a deal!

As much as I think something needs to be done, I just don't see it happening. The Hornets are probably not going to cut Smith, and we have basically no trading assets. This team will stay exactly the same for the rest of the year unless Marbury ends up getting bought out

I think Danny gets down on his knees in front of PJ and begs him one more time to come back.

Most likely that's not going to work. At point guard, I think the Celtics will only make an addition if the man is Marbury or Cassell. I firmly believe that the Celtics' best chance of getting help at the wing and center positions is if the Spurs end up dealing for VC. If that deal goes down, I would think that Danny would make a strong push for Oberto, and maybe an attempt to land Bowen. Other than that, the options at this point are alarmingly few for those who think that the Celtics need bench help in order to win a championship. I think they could use the help, but by no means am I feeling desperate right now.

I'm thinking that unless Marbury can be landed nothing will happen, but there have been some unusual trades to save money so who knows.  Maybe the C's will be able to land a surprising addition.

My prediction is: BBD or Powe will be traded away. The Celtics have to make a tough decision in the off season on weather to Sign Powe to a long term deal or BBD to a long term deal. Both can probably comand a Ronny Turiaf type deal ( which is in the 4-5 Mil ,3-4 year deal ) There is no way they sign both (for 4 Mil) IMO.

 So why not trade BBD now? Especially with TA going down I think the Celts can trade a few peices for a vet swingman.

Something like this :

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bojeqe

Bos sends: BBD, Giddens , 2nd Rd pick

Phoenix sends: Grant Hill


With Grant hill (or someone similar)now your backup swing man , the 2-1 trade will allow us to sign two other vets.

1)Robert Horry , who take the BBD role of hitting outside shots from the PF position

2) Vet PG or C We could probably sign Sam I am or another PG who is bought out or another big man with length maybe Rasho gets bought out by Indy ?

Well we kinda have to do something now. Tony is gone Cassel is gone there is two spots now,and Billy or Giddens are not playoff ready. I can see Bonzi coming in very soon or a trade of BBD or Leon tomorrow or thursday. We SHALL SEE!

Something tells me that Ainge is closer to making a deadline deal than he lets on.  How exactly he'll get anything of worth is beyond me, but the fact that he chose to get rid of Cassell through this rather elaborate trade, rather than straight up waiving him (which I believe would mean that Cassell would sit on waivers for 48 hours, not clearing an extra spot until after the trade deadline), means he's got something in the works. 

With Tony out, I'd love to see a replacement brought in.  If that isn't possible, a big man with length would help.  If neither is possible, I'd love to see just the best possible talent brought in.  Even if we can't get someone who fits exactly, if we could get someone who could create their own offense, that would help when two of the Big Three are on the bench. 

My dark horse prediction, because no one has said it, and the TA thing is making me desperate: Antoine Walker, part 3.

I wouldn't be surprised if
(a) nothing happens;
(b) Powe or BBD is included in some sort of a deal.

Danny is going to suit up himself. Play for a buck. Problem solved.

Actually, let me readjust my prediction.  My dark horse still is Toine, part 3; however, my first hunch is that Danny pulls some deal where we send cash and maybe a pick and a filler and land some sort of player in a three way deal.  I have no idea who that is.

As for the Toine idea, please understand that I don't think Ainge is targeting him.  However, if he can't land Marbury, Smith, Brown, Wells, or anyone else of that kind, I think there's an outside shot that happens.
