    Celtics may finally get somewhat of a PG.

    Jordan Crawford and Avery Bradley aren't really PGs.

    Looking like Boston is trying to move someone...they have three legit PGs now...Is Rajon on his way out?

    Could be. Either way, this is a grand slam for the Celtics.

    I don't understand why the Grizzlies would do it. This seems bad for them in every way but obviously other moves are planned.

    The website is censored because the "International Business Times" is the opposite of a reputable source

    Who makes Rondo trade decisions based on whether you have Jerryd Bayless or not?

    You are reading way too much into this. Bayless sucks. This is a Courtney Lee salary dump, and that's all. Bayless' contract expires at the end of the season, that's all you need to know. Good job, Danny Ainge.

    We may see this turn into a three-way, with Asik winding up in a Celtics uniform. Stay tuned.

    Its probably Poopsworld.

    Clutch did that on purpose, shows you how much he thinks of them and their articles.

    Wrong question. Did the Celts make a Bayless trade decision based on not having Rondo in the near future?
