Yep, that's what it is at right now. The talks are just about dead between the two. The talks were Javaris Crittenton and Conley headed to Portland for Sergio Rodriguez and someone else. I just forgot it, damn it man.

travis outlaw. its just a stupid trade though, i dont even think they were talking that much. thats why portland sent an email to yahoosports and they backed off....the guard position is already stacked for the blazers, with blake, sergio, and bayless at the point. trade sergio and get back crittenton and conley? so out of bayless, crittenton, and conley 2 of them are going to be benchwarmers. just overloads the position more. bayless would be getting ample minutes on most teams

i hope the blazers do trade sergio though, probably sergio, and channing frye for someone. i'm not against outlaw getting traded because i like webster better, and batum is doing so good, he is the small forward of the future.

raef lafrentz has like 12 million expiring this year. him+outlaw+sergio+1st rounder might be able to pull off a pau gasol type trade.

with kevin pritchard it should be fun

Poor Critt. Not even the Grizzlies want him. :lol:

Still, it bolsters my belief that Marc Gasol was the centerpiece of the trade rather than Critt.

Good points. Regarding the last line of the big trade, that would be something interesting. I don't know who you guys would want that's out there though.

most fans want to upgrade the pg position, blake isnt a very good starter, he is steady but more of a bench player. there isn't much out there though. i was thinking of andre miller if the 76'ers stay playing bad..i think he expires this year

Andre could be an option. Indeed, he does expire this year. There isn't much out there as you said.

portlands was harder, and the first 5 games of the season were the hardest any team has ever started.

Evidently people other than a Celtics fans.

so whats your definition of soft? KG is soft, ask anybody but celtic fans.

My definition of soft is, watch the Lakers in the NBA championship last year. Soft defense, scared to drive to the basket..

Why would you drive to the basket when the refs are calling more offensive fouls than defensive fouls even though the Celtics are clearly hacking players down low?

Well, he quoted me and it had no relevence to my post. I didn't say the Celtics had the toughest schedule in the league for the month of November. It was damn tough though. Much tougher than the cakewalk the Lakers had. Again, probably why Coach Doc Rivers won Coach of the Month.

You're such a sore loser. :lol:

And your team is still Soft.

Oh yea, because back to back road games against NO and Dallas, road game against Phoenix, and against a Denver team that spanked the Celtics at home are real cakewalks.:rolleyes:

That is all? All I see are empty words and typical Boston fan nonsense/rant that has the equivalent value of a bag of dog turd. I see it in Pats fans and I see it here.



Yea, it's only December. It's not like any of these games count. Might as well call it a preseason while you're at it. I've seen the Celtics schedule and what not. And it's still evident you haven't been paying attention to any Laker games if this is your only rebuttal to the post you quote.

That's it call the fan base out. That's when you know you're at the bottom of the barrel. WEAK.

Relatively speaking. Yes. And losing by 9 points is being "spanked" now. Ok, that does it, you are not worthy of my retort. Goodbye.

And you're still a typical ranting Boston fan. The kind I see on ESPN boards a lot. This is exactly how they post.

i dont see much on the celtics schedule either to be honest.

What can I say, the words are typical from what I've seen out of my Boston friends. A typical over-the-top and overenthusiastic rant. Followed by unnecessary group pictures of the team at the end. Now those are bottom of the barrel posts.

Yes it was tough. Maybe not the toughest, but tough nonetheless and impressive to go 16-2 through it, as league officials (or whoever) noted by naming Rivers coach of the month. THis is a truth and rumours thread though so i'm done here. If you (anyone) want to talk smack about my team post it in my Celtics thread buried in here somewhere. Don't hide here..

Why leave the thread? Post in this one, we need some conversations in here lol. All their is is news.

Well, now there's a bottom of the barrel post. Trying to claim the higher ground and fleeing when ammo's run out. And if the retort is yet another pointless and overzealous rant with the sole intent to be nothing more but actual smack talk, thanks for refraining.
