Deal originally had NOrl and PHX to facilitate, but that did, indeed, blow up. That's why there was so much scrambling earlier.

ahh nice to know it finally went thru... finally...

more a$$et$....

Could a potential Howard deal have been waiting more on this (and maybe a Dragic SnT??) as opposed to the Lin/Asik deals? Is it possible we could see some movement on that front very soon?

I love how the Celtics beat writer "breaks" the story on Portland's involvement and the inclusion of Pavlovic, then basically goes to bed ... WITHOUT REPORTING THE ACTUAL FREAKING TRADE!!!

Tired of waiting. I'm going to bed.

I think Dragic would be a BYC compensation player in a trade. So he we can only count 50% of his new salary in a trade, almost $4M, but the incoming salary has to be at 100% of his salary. Phoenix can sign him outright if they so desire, but they havent yet for some reason. I assume it's bc they can sign him to a better contract once we relinquish his rights. Hopefully we can snag a 2nd rounder if it comes to a S&T, although I'm still not sure why they would want to do that in the first place.

I thought the idea was we would get a trade exception for sending one of OUR 2nd rounders to Phoenix? Is that still possible to do?

I'm not really sure if we have to send them any salary at all since they have the cap space to sign him outright.

No, not to help them land Dragic TexAg, to buy a trade exception from them to use in a Dwight Howard deal.

I suppose that's possible too, but can we even send them a player without receiving anything in return but a trade exception?

Here's all I could find Bima.

LAS VEGAS — The Celtics had to alter their course late tonight, but they wound up getting Courtney Lee in a sign and trade from Houston.

An earlier form of the transaction that involved New Orleans and Phoenix fell through in the afternoon, but the move was rescued when Portland agreed to get involved.

The bottom line for the Celts is that they will get a 6-5 guard they badly wanted for JaJuan Johnson, E’Twaun Moore, Sean Williams and Sasha Pavlovic — none of whom was guaranteed to have an important tole for the club.

Lee, meanwhile, will likely start at shooting guard at least until Avery Bradley returns from shoulder rehab.

Oh wait... stop the Rockets did not play the Celtic this year in summer league..
My bad. But I did see at one game i'm sure.

zzpot.

Feel kind of stupid that I just noticed the first rounder we got is from Charlotte. That's a legit asset, good chance they're still worst team in the NBA, and first pick of the 2nd round is arguably more valuable than last pick of the 1st. This may be a useful asset in the Howard trade.

OremLK · 07-20-2012, 01:18 AM

*2nd rounder we got is from Charlotte, not 1st. Lol. (I wish it was their 1st!)

Deal for C. Lee brought back from dead. Portland steps in as 3rd team. Celts also sign and move Sasha Pavlovic (w/Moore, Johnson, Williams)

So do the Rockets take on Sasha Pavlovic too? I know that Moore is going to be traded and released by Portland. Or who gets Pavlovic? Rockets or Celtics?

The Rockets got Johnson, Moore, Sean Williams and a 2nd round pick. The Blazers got Pavlovic.

Outlier · 07-20-2012, 02:20 AM

Cats will be good next year. It won't be a high 2nd round pick.

The heck? So why was a third team even involved if we keep Moore? I thought he was the issue. Or did the C's need to add more salary and we wanted someone else to take Pavlovic? I'm confused.
