Minny has no shooting guards. Atkins stinks, which means they might take Tony for him. It maintains our expiring contract combination flexibility. He's a PG who can handle and shoot (but no D).

Anyone?

I'm a taker. Fills a position of need, maintains our roster flexibility.
Celtics fan for life.

Atkins was washed up the last time he played here. Do you guys really want TA gone that badly? All this TA hating is really starting to get to me. I hope to God someone goes down with an injury and TA steps up big. I'm getting really tired of the same 10-12 posters hating on TA every time someone starts a thread about him.

That is no joke. I like to root for the underdog and I would love to see TA prove the naysayers wrong. I don't wish injury upon anyone, its just the only way TA will see the floor with our current roster.

i understand ur wanting to root for the guy, but say u hope some1 gets injured in order to get his shot....especially when those "some1's" are ray and pierce :-X  he will just have to bust his butt in practice and earn minutes the old fashion way.

You cannot be serious.  That is one of the most warped statements I've seen in a while.  Are you a Celtics fan or are you a Tony Allen fan?

Better yet, are you Tony Allen?  How can you seriously say this and mean that you wish injury on one of our guys?  Wow.

Your right dark_lord.  Hoping someone gets hurt isn't something I should say about anyone on the team I bleed green for. But I really do hope TA gets a chance to prove himself this year. I'm definitely pulling for the guy despite what others are saying about him.

Thank you PRIDE and thank you Dark Lord for saving PRIDE's Celtic soul.   ;)

Your questioning my fanhood when theres hundreds of people hating all over someone thats been part of our team for quite a while now?

I wasn't so much wishing injury upon someone as I was hoping TA would step up.

I have nothing against you, but yeah, when someone wishes to God for members of their so-called favorite team to get injured I question if they are really a fan.  Yes.

As the roster stands now(add Daniels for 1.9 Biannual) then Tony Allen is bound to get minutes. House, Tony, Daniels, BBD, Sheed.
Now if he goes and proves himself turnover prone with no bball iq, then expect Daniels to slide down to SG and Bill Walker get minutes.
Can't stop, Rondo!

Chucky Atkins has a partially guaranteed contract, so they can waive him and save a lot of money. I doubt Kahn gives up that option without getting someone a lot more valuable than Tony Allen in return.

I'd like Danny to sell Tony Allen to a team below the cap. Just give them $3mil so they can waive Tony, and pocket $500k for their troubles. Open up the roster spot and bring in a proven wing to backup Marquis Daniels off the bench.

Can we get a trade exception for that maneuver? I think we have to pick up a 2nd round pick as a bare minimum.
