    At this point, the fake-out threads are so predictable that I click on them wondering what obscure news story is being used this time.

    So I guess Cassell wasn't that special piece that put the Celtics over the top. This item made me realize I hadn't heard his name since he went to the Celtics.

    Sounds like a Chris Wallace blue-light special. Trade away a pick, get some cash and waive the player. Too bad that this is what the NBA has become, trades with more importance on money now rather than talent.

    Maybe this sets the stage for Starbury in Boston.

    Maybe they know something's going to happen soon.:dunno:
    I can see no other reason Boston would want to open up a roster spot. Eh who knows... there's too many rumors out there, it hurts my head sometimes.

    It's purely for monetary reasons.
