Boston and Minny are trying to complete a trade check this out.
Boston gets Candi, Wally, Dewayne Jones and 1st round pick
Minny gets Blount, Davis, Banks, and Reed. cond 2nd ROund pick

This trade is like trading crap for poop, I'm mean C'mon. This trade is just to make a trade niether team got better and niether team will do anything anyway.

Just thought I add this to the Pistons fan since we have to play them next week(Minny)

Just announced a few minutes ago on NBAtv:

Celts get:
Wally Szczerbiak
Michael Olowokandi
Dwayne Jones
Conditional 1st round pick

Wolves get:
Ricky Davis
Mark Blount
Marcus Banks
Justin Reed
Two 2nd round picks

I'm underwhelmed with this trade. Looks like mediocracy for mediocracy.

KG's never been a Wally guy, and I can see him enjoying a wingman like Ricky. He's in the mold of Sam and Latrell.

Kandi for Blount? Same players, different faces, unless you think the former #1 is actually worse than ol' Crazy Face. Which might be true.

As for Wally in Green. I don't really care. He's white, so I guess they'll like that in Boston.

The NBA trade deadline is not for almost another month (Feb 23), but teams have already started making moves.

The big names so far of course are Ronnie and Peja but wait this is just the beginning.

Boston and Minnesota have just pulled a 7 man deal sending Wally World, Candy Man, Dwayne Jones, and a 1st round pick to Boston for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Justin Reed, Marcus Banks, and 2 future conditional 2nd round picks.

That means that Boston is a man short so they are probably looking to make more moves before the deadline comes. It could also be one of those cases where we will trade you so and so but you have to cut him so we can pick him back up.

Also on a side note Phoenix acquires Nikoloz Tskitishvili from Minnesota for a 2006 second-round draft pick

Who will be next?? What team will try to put itself in the playoff race, or who will just try to clear cap space for upcoming free agents??????

Ok Joe it's time to prove it!!!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, the new CBA has a rule that a team trading a player away cannot resign him again for 30 (ish) days?

I think Stern called it the "Dammit Joe D. stop trading away guys and then resigning them the same week! Its not fair!" Rule.

Of course I could be completely wrong - it happened once. I just seem to remember reading it somewhere.

Anyone else know more?

I forgot about the dammit Joe D rule my bad you are right lol

now they pistons haven't lost since i've attended this year, so i don't expect them to start now. i'm taking my mother to the game though, so if the pistons lose you can blame her.

i also agree on the crap for poop analogy

sounds like a trade just to make a trade...bunch of randoms from one team, for a bunch of randoms from another team

darko / arroyo / 1st-rounder for garnett

http://www.pistonsforum.com/nba-stuf...-2005-cba.html

I kinda coined that name for it.

We can't trade back to back 1st rounders. We traded a 1st rounder for Arroyo (this coming draft) so we can only offer our 2008 first round pick.

That's a baaaaaaad trade. Darko, Arroyo and a 1st are like giving up three number 1 picks for Garnett. Plus, Minny already has 2 PGs. You need to work a third team into the deal to take Arroyo or Jaric if it's going to make any sense.

Not surprised to see Skita traded again. Doesn't make sense sending him to Phoenix though. Jerry Colangelo was quoted as saying that it was the ideal place for him in the NBA, well...

Didn't they trade a very similar player (Zarko "Chewbacca" Chabarkapa sp!) away to Golden State? How does that make any sense?
