Anyone have any info on the Von Wafer s&t to Orlando we made?

West is pouty, a little dirty, and an instigator. KG and him will annoy the hell out of other teams.

that actually makes me giddy.

Says he can't jump on the home page, and that he might be rehabbing all year.... Im hoping these are all false rumors

I'm not seeing this.  Everything I've heard on West's progress has been good.

um, the "can't jump" thing on the front page, i believe, is jeff being hyperbolic about how he can't believe the news, so he can't get up off the floor.

Yeah, I thought that might be what the reference was to.  I assure you, David West didn't fall off a chair, and he can get off the floor.  Jeff Clark, we're still not sure about.

JJJ's time on the court seems to look like fewer and fewer mpg with all the PF help being brought in today.

thats cool. he needs to develop some strength to go with the length.

[Sketch5]

 Well if it is true that the knee is good, then thats great. I was probably looking for the bad in this were is just to [dang] good to be true!

[dtrader]

All I keep thinking about, is how close CP3 and West are.  CP3 said theyre "like brothers", and said he played with West every year in the league, and cant imagine being on a team without him.

I was really done with the CP3 stuff, but with a signing like this that doesnt seem to make sense with the other players on our roster, it's real hard to not think about whats behind it.

[Gomesfan]

no word yet on the other player involved?

[vjcsmoke]

Is this a sign that we are going to get CP3?? I hope and pray it is.

That would be even more incredible, of course.  Rondo + JO + Green for CP3 + West. 

But, I'm not greedy.  Just get us West.

So first we trade JO for West.
Then we trade Rondo for CP3?  The problem with trading Green right now is, who would play backup SF?

And the Celtics still need a true center.  Don't tell me that Wilcox is the answer.  He's a career backup.

How can we get a Center?

[SHAQATTACK]

Maybe we finally got a few people who can actually score some points with authority besides the big three.  West and Bass can give some OFFENCE when the starters are taking a break..... remember when we would get these nice leads and the second string would FAIL on us  

[The Playmaker]

Why do some of you still want Paul?  If we're going to make a major trade go for Howard.

ESPN sources: Hornets/Lakers/Rockets cautiously optimistic they'll have reworked CP3 trade to present to NBA perhaps as soon as Saturday

Specific changes to deal not immediately known but teams working through night to infuse CP3 deal w/enough youth and/or picks to satisfy NBA

@ESPNSteinLine


CP3 is most likely headed to LA if he is going to be traded.
