the ONLY thing the Celtic's/Clippers agreed to Monday was Bledsoe not included

[j804]

The only thing the Clippers and Celtics were able to agree upon Monday was that Clippers backup point guard Eric Bledsoe wouldn't be included in the deal, according to the executives. Everything else got stuck.

The Celtics, executives said, were willing to send the Clippers the rights to negotiate a coaching contract with Rivers and to trade Garnett, 37, who was willing to waive his no-trade clause. And the Clippers were said to remain willing to send center DeAndre Jordan and a first-round draft pick to the Celtics.

Boston countered by asking for a second No. 1 pick if Bledsoe wasn't going to be in the deal. Then both sides tossed out names.

According to executives, the Celtics wanted to include either Courtney Lee or Jason Terry so they could get some salary-cap relief. Lee, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, has three years for $16.2 million left on his deal. Terry, a 6-2 guard, has two years for $10.6 million.

The Clippers wanted to add small forward Caron Butler, who has an expiring contract worth $8 million, to the deal.

Neither of those scenarios was acceptable to both sides.

I know its been a crazy 24 hours but I think we all need to relax a bit until all the details come out. It looks like maybe Danny still is demanding they take back Terry or Lee; they wanted us to take Butler and right here is where they stopped talking and hit a snag. It seems pretty accurate when you put together all the different reports we heard today.

Doesn't sound like they are miles apart.  If I was Danny I would press how much do you want your first championship?
