That's Mark Murphy, sloppiest beat writer in town (in the same article he says Quis signed for minimum for the 2nd year in a row: blatantly false).

We'll see tomorrow.

i don't trust that source.

wouldn't the article be focused around the fact that the deal just fell through, not mentioned in a short paragraph at the end.

doesn't seem right to me. Atleast I hope it's not right...

I really want West on our team

if the david west thing falls through then that's two enormous roller-coaster disappointments in the span of a little over 24 hours, both involving the hornets.

blah.

Free-agent forward David West is nearing an agreement to join the Boston Celtics on a three-year deal that will pay him between $27 million and $29 million, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Celtics are working to complete a sign-and-trade deal with the New Orleans Hornets, and are expected to include center Jermaine O’Neal and guard Sasha Pavlovic. The Hornets are believed to have a third team willing to take O’Neal, the veteran center.

Boom. Deal still on via Wojo and Spears 20 minutes ago.

Ditto.

This will be an epic trade for us.
If Danny can weasel David West to us for JO and Pavlovic the Lakers fan base (and Heat and Knicks and Bulls) for that matter will %!@$%! a brick.
I think I went through 10 minutes of severe depression when I read that scrubby Boston Herald article.

Keep the faith.
