less than a month away and no legit rumors??? really

[heyvik]

Is it me or is anyone else out there checking Celticsblog at least every hour to see if there's any news on players moving? I don't know it seems like there was a flurry for Omer Asik in Dec, but everything has been relatively quiet since then - don't consider the Golden State trade a huge deal  - although it was completely out of the blue.

We all knew that Bynum was going to get traded/waived...but really other than that....
NOTHING....

Kinda disappointed where's all the chatter?? Is it me or GM's been quiet with no LEGIT rumors???

anybody agree?

Danny Ainge is trolling us.

I think it's positive. I've found that deals that are rumored but don't happen immediately after the rumor almost never end up happening. In my mind that we haven't heard a lot of information leak means that deals are more likely to happen

Remember, just because a deal isn't rumored doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

For instance, nobody in the media had any inkling, at all, that Perk was going to be traded.

It's probably unlikely that a superstar will be traded, because you usually hear at least some chatter beforehand, but there are exceptions to even that (such as the Deron Williams trade).

The last few trade deadlines have been pretty uneventful for the most part around the league. Im in the boat of having no expectations so in case something real does happen then my shock factor is blown out of the water.

It's already been an exceptionally active year for the C's--and we're still weeks away from the peak last few days before the deadline.

Hourly checks until then would wear out even 5M, I believe.

Danny is always really good at hiding things until the last minute.  Almost always there are rumors and then something completely different happens.

[GreenWarrior]

the only constant rumor that we've heard is asik to the C's. I think the reason this deal is still floating around is because I believe "where there's smoke there's fire". I think the only reason it hasn't happened is because Houston in their minds thinks they're going to get a better deal and are waiting till the final hr. of the deadline for what they hope is a better deal.

i also believe we're probably more likely to see more activity on draft day than anything else.

Danny's a sneaky man

Yup. Even though we all kind of knew that some of our guards were going to be traded, no one heard about the Lee-Bayless swap or the Crawford/Brookes for Joel Anthony maneuvers until the day it happened.

We have almost a whole month before the trade deadline.

All Quiet before the tornados of February Chainge strike.

We're not going to make any big trades until the off season.  We might do some little stuff, but it's hard to get excited about things like a Philly first that may become two second rounders if they don't make the playoffs. 

I am mostly just curious about this: when can we use the Pierce trade exception?  I know it is good until the summer, but when can we start trades again after the deadline?  Right when the season ends?
