A source briefed on discussions Friday evening said that the Boston Celtics are close to a deal with free agent power forward David West, who has been with the New Orleans Hornets since being drafted in 2003.

Yeah, exactly.  Or maybe retired player Doug West?

David West makes absolutely no sense to me, but I'll take it.  I'd be very, very happy to have him on the team.

Is this a sign that we are going to get CP3?? I hope and pray it is.

That awkward moment when a guy you badmouthed in the CB Draft becomes a Celtic and you have to root for him to succeed even though if he does, you look like an idiot.

That would be even more incredible, of course.  Rondo + JO + Green for CP3 + West. 

But, I'm not greedy.  Just get us West.

If the Celtics sign David West, Chris Paul may want to sign an extension in Boston after all.

ZOMG we are getting CP3 now!!!   :P

But seriously, he is a great player who will last longer than KG and who also has a similar skill set.

The more big men the merrier, even if the fit isn't perfect. (I'd like more length.) Count me in on this signing!
