    The Boston-Brooklyn discussions for Garnett and Pierce are serious, several team sources tell Y! "Deal could get even bigger," source says.

    Dwight Howard blaming fans, not just Mike D'Antoni, for wanting to leave Lakers. Yes, really. bit.ly/1croupj

    Good luck Rockets\Clippers....

    Agreed. I think our needs are pretty obvious (C, SG and quality bench). Whichever way we go in the draft (C or SG), I think you'll see us try to fill the other piece in free agency or via a trade.

    Edit: The quote was regarding Tyreke Evans.

    I think that move speaks volumes about Nate's leadership abilities. Great teacher, great character, not so great a motivator or leader.

    How could this happen without a third team. Sure wish we could help them out by taking Lopez.

    Well, maybe he'll actually learn a little bit about defense? Or he'll fuck theirs up.

    If you're Pierce and KG, how strange would it be having a contemporary like Kidd as your coach?

    F*ker fans are terrible. Fair weather followers.

    I don't think Dwight appreciated what he had in Orlando. Live and learn.

    Yeah, but so is Pierce and Garnett (at least partially). Boston has to gain something out of this. And, Humpries is only half of what they would need. I guess Humpries and Lopez would get you close. Getting Lopez would be better than two aging players who are almost done anyway.

    That trade would easily make BKN the team to watch next season. And Kidd coaching? Wow! Reminds me of our loaded teams 10-15 yrs ago. No regard for chemistry or fit. Just straight up talent acquisition.

    Right but they get three first rounders out of two ancient guys. I think Wallace can play better with Rondo. And they are doing kg and pierce a solid, other players may see that and think Boston takes care of their players

    Looks like it is just about done....

    Adrian Wojnarowski‏@WojYahooNBA4m
    Celtics, Nets deal has reached ownership level, league source tells Y! Jason Terry joins Pierce and Garnett in package, source says.

    Adrian Wojnarowski‏@WojYahooNBA3m
    The Nets would send back Reggie Evans, sign-and-trade for Keith Bogans and one more minimum level player as part of package, source says.

    Brooklyn will be pretty good... if they can stay healthy.

    Deron
    Joe Johnson
    Paul Pierce
    KG
    Lopez

    That's an All-Star team. Reminds me of our team back in the day a bit.
