Celtics "officially" in the hunt for Anthony Parker

[Tai]

I don't see how a team's 6th best big man can be off limits. I know we're injured, but Semih has been Shelden Williams 2.0 production wise.

Because he could be at the very least be a stop-gap for the team in the future, even if you don't think he can be part of the foundation.

I can't remember when the TD is?

I always wondered how teams could prove they "began" talks before 3PM....do they let the NBA Front Office listen in on all of the team's offices or calls or something?

I think they do, if talks are progressing and the deadline is coming up.

Or maybe who make a trade need to communicate it at the Nba

I trade Semih for Parker in a heartbeat!

Totally disagree! This season is as good a season as any to win banner 18. Parker gives us a much better chance at doing that than Semih. Let's stop thinking so much about the future.

anthony parker lol, he is a dleague player. there's noone other than maybe harangody and marquis (the latter having season ending injury)I would trade if I was desperate...no picks,and no not our only young big semih.

Just because he's young, doesn't make him untouchable.

[nba is the worst]

I'm with those that haven't been that impressed with Parker.

I'm sure he will look/play better on a better team, but is he the best available option?

[PosImpos]

He's 35 years old.  If he's not getting bought out, we should not trade for him.

A healthy 35 year old Parker is better than an injured 30 year old Daniels.

Parker was an excellent NBA role-player in his prime (actually a bit past it). Excellent defender and shooter, solid all-around. Very smart player. He was a top-3 piece for a Raptors team that almost won 50 games. In his 20s he was also a very athletic finisher.

However, age caused his defense to decline so dramatically that I think I'd rather go after Jamario Moon.

I disagree. Moon is a worse choice. He hasn't even been a consistent rotation player for the Cavs...he is more like Mikki Moore in a SF body...similar build..similar ball IQ.

Scott has made some bad options this year.

Moon is a poor solution as the first wing off the bench, but he's a fairly good rebounder (actually he may be as good rebounding wise as Moore, in spite of the difference in positions/size) and a decent defender. The biggest problem is the lack of a reliable jump-shot, but I'm not sure that should outweigh the rest. A couple of years ago, Parker was clearly a better player. And he still is (not clearly any more), but what Moon can do is arguably more useful to Boston.
