Telfair to Boston? (and why the Trailblazers are awful)

[moses millsap]

I don't understand how he is behind Blake and Jack on the depth chart. Every time I've seen the kid, I've been impressed.

ESPN - Boston and Portland are talking about a deal that would send point guard Sebastian Telfair to Boston for the No. 7 pick and injured point Dan Dickau, ESPN's Andy Katz is reporting.

The decision for general manager Danny Ainge is whether or not Telfair is a better fit for Boston over whomever the Celtics could land at No. 7. After Monday's workout, the top choice appears to be Villanova senior guard Randy Foye, but Foye could easily be gone at No. 6 to Minnesota.

Telfair is now behind Steve Blake and Jarrett Jack on the team's depth chart, making it obvious why the Blazers are willing to move him.

This trade, if it happens, might not occur until after the draft, once Boston sees who falls to No. 7.

Deals that are apparently dead, don't have life or never did, according to Katz, include Houston and Atlanta swapping picks No. 5 and No. 8; Utah and Boston doing a Carlos Boozer trade that was a part of a larger package with Philadelphia, with Allen Iverson going to the Celtics; and Chicago shipping Tyson Chandler to Phoenix in a Shawn Marion deal.

Deal is done. Telfair to Boston for the #7 and one or two other players.

ESPN.com - Andy Katz is reporting that Sebastian Telfair has been traded to the Boston Celtics for the seventh pick in the NBA Draft and one or two other players.

The trade had been rumored all day and will be official after the draft.

Since the trade was completed after the 2 PM deadline, the Celtics will pick for the Blazers

i just heard this deal went down this afternoon myself.

i guess the better question is who got the best part of the deal here.

[moses millsap]

I believe Portland will deal the 4th and 7th picks to Toronto for the #1 (Morrison) and another piece.

'Draft the Stache' has been a huge campaign up in the Northwest.

Disaster. The Blazers should change their name to Ye Olde Clippers.

I hope this sets up for an AI to Golden State deal.

More likely than him going to Boston.

More likely than him going to Boston.

Here's my dream sequence, because it's not going to happen:

1.Baron, Murphy, and #9 to Philly for Iverson, #13 and some matching contract.

2.Trade Dunleavy, Fisher, #13, and the 2009 1st rounder to the Lakers for Odom and matching contracts.

3.Mike Montgomery kills himself in disbelief as his two favorites Dunleavy and Fisher have been traded.

4.Iverson assumes the role of coach-player and the Warriors no longer have to practice.

Okay, enough, I think I need to lay off the crack

Practice?!?!

[RickySteve]

[adriano]
