TJ Ford joining Daniels?

[GKC]

Sorry guys. I was in a restaurant when I posted this. The twitter is the celticsblog twitter;

I don't like TJ either. Also, it wouldn't make sense that they would want to trade TJ unless they are looking at matching Jarret Jack (would be a cheaper option though).

I hope this is  more than a rumor!He is baller. I don't like his attitude, he 's a thug.Dude can score and it woulld be nice to have a player like him.

TJ Ford is a thug? Now that's hilarious.

He's not? Perhaps you should give this a read: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=1762342&type=story

That doesn't make him a thug, that means he was stupid as a rookie. For all we know he could have had a jerk of a friend who brought the crack pipe in. Hardly [dang]ing.

If there are really other players involved, it´s probably someone like Tinsley or Foster.

Which wouldn't let the salaries match.

I agree. When you hang around people who own crack pipes, that just means you're the victim. Good call.

but he is better than eddie or gabe running point...

[rickyfan3.0...]

TJ Ford
Eddie Money
Quise
Sheed

...would be our bench. Insanity.

That would be 2 of the 4 quickest point guards in the game. That would make for a silly 2 PG lineup, although neither of them can shoot.

Why are you guys believing this? This is not happening for a variety of reasons, with the most important that there aren't any minutes left behind Rondo.

Not to mention there must be some reason that the Pacers are looking to dump him after one season.


I still hope the trade falls through and Daniel just signs for the LLE.  To many good things come from there.

1) the trade pieces are still in Boston hands to add a PG

2) ends speculation of Marbury returning for the LLE.

This rumor is legit and official, it was on twitter... TWITTER. It doesn't get anymore real than Twitter, you can't make something like this up.

How many people actually said they were believing this? Look at my original post. I wrote that this was too much to give up for it to actually make sense and that I doubted it was real.

As for Twitter, remember that at least 2 stories were broken on Twitter this summer.

Also, just updating people on the news because, well, the summers slow.

Let me clear that up for you:

1) The biggest need is a backup wing, then a big, and the least need is for a backup PG. So basically in that order you would give out the money, with the backup wing getting the most.

1b) This will only happen if we do the sign-and-trade, because you certainly don't want to acquire a backup PG for Scal's and Tony's salary ($6M) just to play 10 minutes behind Rondo.

2) We not only shed salary/don't take on more, we also get rid of redundant players like Tony and Pruitt.

3) We have the LLE to spend on a 4th (!) big/backup PG.

Did I say "victim"? All I said was being stupid doesn't mean you're a thug. That being said, if he was a thug, the police stating that Ford was never under suspicion doesn't do much for his rep.

We already have sheed, and I think we can assume the LLE is going to Daniels. If not, it should go the a backup PG (which would be the first). I doubt the LLE would go to a 4th big / wing / pg. Those you can get for the minimum.

If you can get Daniels with the lle, why waste the trade chips?  Especially when there are no PGs worth the lle, and a ton of big men worth the min.
