I wouldn’t be happy with Allen or Pruitt either.

Sounds like Daniels is just going to sign his measly $1.9 million for one year. Better hope Boston wins or Daniels will probably go elsewhere. The Celtics aren’t getting any younger.

Not sure why Boston won’t deal Walker/Giddens? If you want to keep them, play them then and don’t sign Daniels. It’s that f*cking simple. How can you expect to keep both of these guys riding the bench?

Either we get nothing for Daniels and pick up Head (Luther), or get a promising unknown talent and cash. Good for Larry holding out.

“Most people, at one time or another, try to turn a two-way into the mythical and magical three-way, but it can be a difficult, arduous process that involves plenty of debate, give-and-take and contractual obligations.”

Classic material.

We can do better than Pruitt and Allen. Don’t be a talker unless you get Walker. Don’t say you’ll do it if you’re getting a Pruitt.

Just keep reminding Ainge who he’s dealing with. I’d rather have nothing at all than Pruitt/Allen.

And I’m glad there are some Boston fans that are able to see this the way we’re seeing it. For me, whatever happens with Daniels had no affect on us the second we didn’t pick up his option, because I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who figured he was not coming back.

Getting something for him of value is way more than I would’ve thought, but it’s not worth taking on players just to take on players. Pruitt and Allen wouldn’t be contributors for us and there’s nothing to gain for us by taking them on when we’d be better off taking no one at all.

The way I see it, we’re not the ones who have to make this deal. We win if we don’t take on anyone if Ainge isn’t willing to throw in Giddens and/or Walker, and we obviously win if we get Giddens and/or Walker (preferably Walker) for a player that wasn’t ours anymore. Just letting the deal come to us is what’s important. This is the Celtics problem, not ours.

some type of 3-way deal with NJ that would involve T-Williams? I doubt they would do anything that would involve Lee or Harris, although, if a larger deal did develope involving those guys, i would grin pretty large.

u cant see someone like a terrance williams being involved?

yes i realize harris or lee wouldn’t at least at this level, but if you read my post carefully i state just that.

I don’t like Watson style.
In fact I would prefeer to bring Tony Allen (who’s bigger than Jarret Jack was, and could play on the wings and as a backup to Ford) in a sign and trade with Boston.

Than with the Solomon Jones acquisition the Pacers would still have a spot on the roster for an eventual mid season negociation.

so he is out…at this point i have no issues sending tony allen and bill walker to indy to get this done. this has taken way too long and needs to get done.
