anyone care to sum up the findings?

I wouldn't mind Barton. Not a big fan of Williams.
Whatever they do, would love to see the Celtics add a scorer off the bench.

Earlier in the year I wanted them to try to upgrade the back end of the rotation.

Now, with how the bench is playing I'm worried that a talent upgrade might not equate to a production upgrade. Unless they can upgrade a starter or someone who can be on the court at the end of the game I think we should stand pat.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Those players weren't really "linked" to the Celtics.  It was just the espn guys giving some ideas.

Honestly if we could get him for  late pick or something along those lines Will Barton's shooting off the bench paired with Turner and Smart would be an excellent upgrade. A bench 5 of Smart, Barton, Turner, KO, and Zeller would be nice, with JJ thrown in depending on the match up. Lou Williams is too much of a gunner for my liking but I guess it's the same idea there as well.

Williams would help come playoffs if IT and Smart are in foul trouble. Barton is a steal for them they can't deal him.

TP....just some dumb musings by "outsiders" about our Cs.

Lou Williams, another undersized (6'1"?, seriously?) shooting guard owed $7mil For two years after this?..... No thanks.

And Barton? Would LOVE to have him but WHY would Denver trade him? Up and coming player on a cost controlled contract? He'd cost way too much to get him.

Both of them are great players.  I'd have to see the details of the trade.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Great players make allstar teams.  How about decent, or good?
