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

    I thought NO didnt want old guys.

    I'm baffled. David West deal would appear to kill the 3-way CP3 trade. Hornets can't take on any $ in West deal and still do CP trade.

    J. O'neal possibly a new addition in our 3 way deal for salary matching purposes? Don't believe he will suit up as a Hornet.

    David West has desperately wanted to play for a winner, and will take less money to do so in Boston....Dang only if we can get HIM...he's good defender, scorer..like scola but to admit he's better.

    Rockets get Gasol for Martin/Scola, sign Nene hopefully
    Lakers get CP3, somehow scam Magic for Howard afterwards
    New Orleans gets Dragic, Scola, Martin, Odom, Knicks 1st for CP3

    Stern Vetoes trade. Media **** storm.

    Now we are back trying to restructure the trade with younger players for NO, while forcing Lakers to take on salary.

    There are some many implications to this West/Boston deal, when you think about happened last night, the 3-teamer still in the works..

    Congrats, @sportsguy33 Rockets can't trade 60% of their production for Pau, but your Celts can get S&T for West and make NO take Jermaine!

    I was completely against it, but we do need a change to get out of mediocrity. I think we slight Gasol for his flopping and natural disdain towards him but when it comes down to it Gasol is a great player and he is better and bigger than Scola. If you compare that with contracts then I would say Scola is a better value. Pau would work hard he's not the type that would be bitter and let it affect his play. CP3 is def a better player than Lowry but Lowry does have the toughness, less injury prone, and isn't as much of a baby as CP3. The trade is based on the assumption we sign Nene and possibly bring in someone else. As a fan sometimes you just have to put aside love for Scola and Kmart and remember they'll be gone someday and it's for the greater good of the team.
