    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rumors have linked the Celtics--who have $15 million in contracts that expire at the end of the season after trading for PG Gary Payton--to Suns SF Shawn Marion. Phoenix, having just signed PG Steve Nash and SG Quentin Richardson, is facing the prospect of G/F Joe Johnson becoming a free agent next summer and a maximum-dollar extension for PF Amare Stoudemire. Creating payroll space is a necessity for Phoenix, and Marion is the most likely target. But the Suns would like to find help at center, and the Celtics can't help them do that without getting a third team involved in a trade. . . .

    G Bob Sura can't shoot, but fortunately his new team, the Rockets, won't ask him to. What Sura does well is handle the ball, pass and rebound, and that's what the Rockets need from him. Sura is the favorite to beat out PGs Charlie Ward and Tyronn Lue for the starting job because he should be a good complement to C Yao Ming and SG Tracy McGrady, especially on the glass. The Rockets lost one of the best rebounding guards in the league when they traded PG Steve Francis to the Magic, but Sura is as good as Francis on the boards and averaged 8.3 rebounds in 27 games with the Hawks last season. . . .</div>

    any idea who the third team will be.
    And also what position would ricky d play if they make this move. My guess is the celtic are goingto change to a defensive minded fastbreak team like pheonix is.

    (off topic )Finally eaither the nba is going to have alot of scoring or theses games in the future for nba teams are going to be really close and competetive.

    Now we will finally get to see what some qoute un qoute stars are made of.

    I don't think so.... Marion isn't gonna end up in Boston, I dont' know where this post came from, but I'd be shocked if this is more than just a rumor.

    Celtics have Pierce, Davis, Welsh, and even Waltah and Allen who will be playing minutes at the 3 spot.

    I think Sura was a great pick up for the Rockets, and yes, I agree that the league seems to be gearing up for more up-tempo games, and it is exciting to think about.

    The light blue "link" at the bottom is the hyperlink. It comes from a yahoo sports page, which makes it, as you've already stated, little more than retreaded rumor and speculation. [​IMG]
