I'm not sure who you are to label others as "gullible".  Clearly, Rondo's name is in trade discussions.  Clearly, Danny has initiated at least some of those discussions.  We now have multiple reports from respected sources that Memphis is one of the teams the Celtics are talking to.

And yet, you feel the need to insult others.  I can't say I quite understand your reasoning, and I'm fairly certain it doesn't fit into the "treat others with respect" environment that is fostered around here.

I'm kind of starting to feel like nothing is going to go down. Something about the way that Ainge has been speaking throught the media and the types of things he's been saying about Rajon. These types of comments aren't the type of comments that are going to make teams jump to trade with us.

How many drafts have you covered now, Roy?  Several, right?  And how many of these pre-draft trade rumors turn out to be utter hog wash?  It's most, and you know I'm right.

And yet CB is handling each one with vigor as if they are imminent.  Seems to me ya'll are preying on fans by hyping all these ridiculous rumors to increase off season traction on the site.  Maybe its the collective fan bases that deserve to be treated with more respect by the internet media?

Yeah, but how many people called the Ray and KG rumors hogwash?  Or the Telfair rumors?  All of those stories were around ahead of time.

Also, CB isn't "hyping" anything.  We're posting rumors, and labeling them as such.  Fans -- including the staff -- have a right to talk about these things.

The Ray deal was rumored?  By whom?

Sure, there were about 95 false Pierce rumors to the rumors about Telfair. 

Deciphering what is going to happen and what is not is kind of entertaining.

I know no one knew KG was coming when they posted on that link, but man how wrong so many people were.

I wonder if they wished they had given up Swift now for Rondo?

Reading the hate for that trade on the thread is amusing in retrospect.

Man I was looking for that link about a month ago when I mentioned that Ainge was willing to trade Rondo in the deal if Swift was included. So Ainge would have preferred Swift over Al Jefferson and Swift over Rajon Rondo. Better to be lucky than good I guess.  ;) [*Ducks as Ainge apologists attack me]

What are the odds that Robert Swift is not a Celtic next year?

Trade Rondo to Memphis for Mike Conley and the #2... then trade the #2 and Perk for Greg Oden.

Conley and Oden + the big 3... it's a 2007 wet dream!

HahAHahahahAhaha...

kidding, of course.  :)
