    doesn't make much sense to have KG, West and Bass at the PF spot

    So does this open the door to a possible Garnett deal at the trade deadline?

    Not even sure the Celtics can offer the full MLE.

    Could be a sign&trade.

    Maybe even as part of a Chris Paul deal(?).

    Nice Pickup for the C's. KG/West/Bass, there are set at the 4. Now they need a real 5.

    Interesting, because they NEED KG on the floor for defense. I could see them just going relatively small for most of the year.

    As @Daldridgetnt reports, David West close w/ Celtics. Y! Sources say sides working on a sign-and-trade for a 3-year, $27-29M deal.

    Jeff Green possibly to the Hornets? That would most probably eliminate Boston from the CP3 sweepstakes unless they involve a 3rd team.

    A sign and trade? Jermaine O'Neal and draft picks?

    Celtics likely send Jermaine O'Neal and another player to New Orleans in sign-and-trade, sources said. Hornets would move players elsewhere.

    Interesting.

    If something like that happens, I could see the Rockets getting to keep Martin or Scola, and dumping Thabeet and Hill on the Lakers instead.

    David West has desperately wanted to play for a winner, and will take less money to do so in Boston.

    Wow that is perfect. New Orleans NEEDED more salary to make the trades match up, so they weren't taking back so much salary.

    Look for Jermaine ONeal to end up a Laker...
