Does anyone else get the sense that a major Celtic trade is about to go down come March 5th? Ainge has been pretty explicit in recent interviews that he doesn't believe we're contenders anymore and that he would entertain offers at the right price. Well isn't the right price substantially lower than ever for these guys? Heck, I bet expiring contracts and a top 10 protected pick could net either Allen or KG at this point. Something BIG will happen soon.Remember, remember the 5th of Novem..oop I meant March.

There was a ton of movement before the season began.

There was a ton of movement before the season began.I agree that we won't start seeing any deals until the 1st, but I don't think any major deals will happen until right before the deadline on the 15th -- mainly because everybody is waiting to see if the major domino -- Dwight Howard -- will or won't fall. Much of what will happen around the trade deadline will depend on what the Magic choose to do with Howard, and that might not be clear until the day of the deadline.

I too feel something is about to happen and I do hope it is MAJOR.By the way, the Ides of March is March 15...every year....and, this year, the trade deadline is March 15."Et tu, Brute?"
I wonder if they'll hurry things along because of the compressed schedule. Get these deals done faster (by the 3rd/4th) so new players can learn their new systems/team mates.7 days can mean 4-5 games at the moment.
