Big Trade on the Way?
Several sources are reporting that the Boston Celtics, who are suffering from the recent loss of NBA All Stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen, are interested in a big trade. Doc Rivers could only say "The loss of (Kevin, Ray, and Paul) is a huge blow to this team. They all provided leadership and energy when we needed it most. But we all knew one day they had to call it quits, so we're prepared. I still expect this team to be fully ready on day one to come out and attempt to get us an NBA championship." GM Danny Ainge did not have any comment.
Who could the Celtics trade you wonder? Avery Bradley and Jermaine O'Neal come up. These two are big prizes in the trade market and could be moved easily because they won't be seeing much playing time at their positions of SG and C, respectively. Detroit Central News is reporting that Rip Hamilton is likely interested in being traded to the Celtics, along with Luol Deng from Chicago.
