Isnt Boston's cap situation going forward already looking great?

They have no need to do anything to clear cap space out drastically

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

that would be the dumbest thing ever, who makes up these rumors? why would the celtics trade a young star for a guy who's on the downside and why would they do that especially after ainge said he would consider his aging stars for young great talent. Makes no sense whatsoever. I feel Laker Rumors are probably the worst kinds of rumors in the nba

I’m hoping that is a rumor because I wouldn’t want Ainge to go down as the dumbest GM in the last couple of years and tarnish his accomplishments. Ainge did a masterful job of re-building the Celtics to a championship team in one year when he got Allen and Garnett. BUT not only that, him acquiring guys like PJ Brown and James Posey and keeping some players away from the Garnett deal like Rajon Rondo. That supporting cast from the 2008 championship team really helped a lot.

Although I don’t think Ainge trading Perkins wasn’t dumb but a mistake which some GM’s would make. BUT this deal of Rondo for Gasol is a deal that most sensible GM’s would stay away from.

and again

Eric Pincus = a trash poor man's Broussard

Hoopsworld rumors should be dismissed immediately upon reading the title

I've noticed on here alot of rumors and stories aren't trusted very much so I'm curious as to which rumors are ok to trust? The ones that involve bums and role players because if it's one that involves a big name player, those are never true on here.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Well without a doubt, you've never seen Hoopsworld break a trade have you?

You can always dismiss unreliable sources as fast as they post

or some unknown blog site having the lone scoop on a blockbuster trade

Broussard... class of his own


Honestly, teams throw out stuff and agents as well into the media around this time of year and they're never real trade discussions

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Oh I agree, I was just wondering what constitutes as a rumor being true to you guys lol.

But from what I've seen over the years, some stories/rumors are also too good to not be completely dismissed altogether although this Rondo/Gasol deal is one that can be tossed out the window for all I care because that move makes no sense at all for Boston.

Usually the sources

I know of Pincus from many years back

Dude is always wrong... if he says it will happen, then it wont happen

Classic case of yes means no

[Altimus]

Yeah, that deal is just dumb.

Besides Carmelo to NY, what was the last rumor that actually came true?

Waste of keystrokes even discussing these stupid rumors.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

I'm sure there are plenty if we really think about it. Hell, Duhwight is about to be number 2 real soon.

I don't consider every story/rumor that comes to be true completely, but I also won't rule them out and disregard them just because it may not make sense. Some stories, whether it involves a player being moved or something else going on, don't just come out unless there is a reason behind it.

Restricted free agent forward Wilson Chandler plans to re-sign with Nuggets once he returns from China, his agent Chris Luchey told Y!Sports

Luchey tells Y! there is "significant interest" from other teams, but Chandler will re-sign either to rest of season or long-term with DEN.
