    Good point. But do not want to give up CP in any scenerio.

    These are probably the same people that were pissed about the Harden deal thinking we gave up to much. I am ready to contend, bring Rondo at all costs except Harden/Howard of course.

    Statistically speaking, Parsons is the 7 best wing player in the NBA.

    1. LeBron
    2. Durant
    3. George
    4. Harden
    5. Anthony
    6. Wade
    7. Parsons

    I'm not even CLOSE to an insider by any stretch, and this has always been my thoughts.

    "Damn, IT GOT OUT...deny deny deny!"

    Not sure if I believe Amick considering Stein and CyberX both stated they've talked.

    Exactly. We'd be trading a 10 for like a 5 at best. Come on guys.

    Fixed. I understand one is not like the other, but neither are their salaries (which I didn't factor into the rankings).

    Okay, so the Celtics have 14 players on their roster...who are they cutting to to pick up an extra 2?

    I know I'm getting off topic, but are there any behind the scenes videos of NBA teams during trade deadlines? Obviously it's not as simple as hey I want this guy give him to me. Just trying to learn more about how these things play out.

    He passes the stat test and yes he's still effective, but you can't tell me that he's the same player in the San Antonio game. The eye test tells you something is up. He was tender, to say the least. He looked like he had Magic Johnson knees going. I still take the man, happily, but he's a risk. A risk I'd take, but his value is low because of injury.

    Yes, then I would agree - have seen Deng play much more than Green and he would be great here for sure.

    Cavs are well aware that Deng will walk

    I'm confident they'd take a late 1st rder/some 2nd rders + Asik/expiring

    Their "new" GM will be looking to acquire picks, not hit it out of the park. All he has to do is get something better than the Cavs gave up for Deng (which was trash)

    Honestly, If we can get Rondo + Green for Asik/Lin and Parsons.... I'd do it in a heart beat.

    Starting line up of Rondo/Harden/Green/Jones/Howard is an upgrade over
    Bev/Harden/Parsons/Jones/Howard.

    Green puts it over the top I think.

    With that said, I don't think Morey will pull the trigger to put Parsons in the deal and nothing will happen.

    It's completey nonsense, are you saying they haven't even talked about as he mentioned.

    Morey would enquire about every player he likes on every team, don't beleive this tweet, it's either celtics or more likely the rockets in damage control just I case it doesn't turn out

    I agree, but let's not forget the MAJOR injury Rondo is coming back from. We aren't acquiring a guy who is a sure thing.
