Part of a five player deal involving Ricky Davis and Mark Blount. Opens up the door for Delonte West and Al Jefferson in Minnesota.

I miss hot Antoine, back when he was in college and the only thing that made me root for that team.

Mmm the Walker wiggle.

Wayne Simien is with the T-Wolves now? Guess I'll be following them a little more now, if he plays. [/KUfanboylooser]

 

[Pancamo]

**** for ****.

 

[Songbird]

Is he still "Employee No. 8"?

 

[wickedwritah]

Thinking Twoine is shot. He's on NBA Life No. 8.

 

[93Devil]

So Davis will not be allowed 1/4 mile from Wade outside of the arena, right?

Crap for crap trade.

 

[Mayfly]

Davis was supposed to be a big contributor to the T-Wolves this year. Minnesota sure has some work cut out for themselves. Does McHale just want all the former Celtics on his team? I think he can coax Larry Bird to suit up.

Antoine Walker = judicious, conservative perimeter shooter.

Son of a *****. I know Ricky Davis wasn't the answer for a winning season, especially now that Garnett's in Boston, but Jesus Christ. Antoine Walker?

I might be looking for a new team very, very soon. This organization has made a commitment to suck ****. Nothing more.

 

[wickedwritah]

Grew up a McHale fan myself, but his GM tenure has been made of fail.

 

[mike311gd]

Really, if he could have gotten a solid point guard and an All-Star-caliber small forward around Garnett, that team could have been something.

Who is the top player in the 2008 NBA Draft? Hope he likes winters in Minnetonka.

It doesn't matter. They'll just trade him away, and he'll win the Rookie of the Year (Brandon Roy).

Too bad 'twoine and Pierce couldn't win one together. I still maintain, vehemently, that the Celtics of 6-7 years ago were only one player away from being serious contenders. That player was center Vlade Divac. The C's should've dumped Radja and gotten Divac, one of the best big men I've ever watched, starting back when Magic had to coddle him along on the court.

Will someone let McHale in on the apparently little known fact in Minny that the Celtics have been terrible the past few years? Building your team around the remnants of a cellar-dweller doesn't seem to be the best philosophy.

McHale did get a lot of young talent in the KG swap. Jefferson is going to be a force in the middle for a while and West is a good shooter. Gomes and Green are also very talented.

Vlade was one of the best big men you've ever watched? Seriously?

He passes up on 3s like he does with trips to the buffet line.

In his 10 year career, 'Toine is 1,325 for 4,076 from beyond the arc. If he puts up 407 per year, I wouldn't call him trigger shy.
