Nate to Celtics Official / Danny's take (merged Nate threads)

[Evantime34]

So, otherwords, its not finalized.

And if there is a trade, it takes more than House due to BYC rules.

How reports were saying that the league is done pending league approval because the salaries don't match up by 200k. Doesn't that mean that the deal is not completed because it doesn't work?

Thats just quoting Hahn, who has backtracked already.

In a breaking report, multiple sources confirm that the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics have come to a deal that will send Nate Robinson to the Celtics.

The buzz is that Eddie House is headed to the Knicks, but details of the deal may not be released until tomorrow. Check back for updates.

Nothing exciting, but this works as a 3-way with NY and Houston:

Throw in Scalabrine for David Anderson on top of House for Robinson and the money works.

Here is a trade that probably won't happen but I would like Danny try to do.

Let's hope this is a completely unrelated story, shall we?

Seems like the Clippers are the culprits... and seeing Camby there might suggest that as well.

No, it's supposedly the Clippers.

I heard it was the Clippers, who put the trade on their website too early.

It couldn't be the C's, since they have not announced anything.

Well the first people to announce our trade were the New York newspapers. So if it was our trade it was the Knicks not us. Even if we did get fined, it's not my money.

I guess it was the Clippers according to others anyway.

I'm assuming it has to do with the Blazers/Clippers trade as Camby's picture is in the article

[arctic 3.0]

this trade does not make us better.
sure he can score but:
he's not known for playing with in the system
he's not a defender, and with a hobbled KG on the ball d is more important then ever
his 'tude is questionable at best

all in all, if this is it danny will have done nothing to address the major issues the team has.
our major concern is defense, especially run stifling reserves who can step in when the starters are flagging. we need a young athletic swing forward defender (best case deng, worst warrick)
we need a tough swing guard to hit jumpers, and shut down scorers.

[mgent]

Nate wouldn't be my first choice for a backup PG, but I am all for adding more scoring to our bench.

I remember a little while back they polled the players to see who were the biggest trash talkers in the league.  If Nate comes here we'll have 4 of the top 5.

[arctic 3.0]

at least it means the end of the monta ellis speculation.
now looking at GS and sac for deal #2
maggette and randolph?
martin and noc?
