    Celtics fans probably looking at Clutchfans, laughing at y'all for thinking it's the end of the world over a role player.

    Non-guaranteed contracts of Moore, Williams almost certainly involved -- would push Yr 1 salary to ~$4.2M

    So I'm guessing we are hoarding non-guaranteed contracts to go over the salary cap and do an over the cap trade for Dwight and Orlando's bad contracts. That way, we can use the "150% rule."

    Do you really believe that this move is Morey's endgame? It is just another minor move to gain more favorable positioning.

    I'm assuming there's something more about this...

    but it is a nice pickup for the Celtics, I think. I could see Lee fitting in well there.

    Yup, they do. Also have the T-Wolves 2013 2nd and their own 2nd.

    Does anyone know if Mr Henny has a personal affinity for JJJ?

    Well that's too bad. I was just going of the scouting report.

    But the guy isn't cracking the rotation anyways, so it really doesn't matter.

    Yup. Terry, Lee and a healthy Bradley (even without Allen) will make them a stronger team than the one that took Miami to Game 7 this year. Depends how much KG and Pierce have left.

    Excellent thought.

    That would be a clever way to exploit the new rules.

    I'm also guessing a trade exception would be generated?

    How many bad contracts are they going to take? Livingston + min contact = J-Rich/Davis. 150% doesn't apply to Dwight, he's 125% in a trade.
