25 years old... 6'5 with like a 7 foot wingspan (Johnwallace keep it in your pants). His #s in the D league were stellar. I think this is as good as the late #1 we could expect or hope for in moving Nate. I think we should get a good look at him also

thoughts?

He is cap fodder who cares.

No seriously. He is ok. I thought he would have provided more than he has to this point.

fish i mentioned wanting to get giddens before the reports even came out that we were getting him and when we did get him, i wrote that i was excited to get a good look at him for the last 30 games.

it's just too bad that he's injured and out for the season. i didn't realize that

He is an ending contract which is good enough for me. The fact we can pick up his option for not much more than the NBA minimum means if he plays well in summer league we could see him back here next year.

The deal blows plain and simple. We just gave him away.

we might.. he'd be a good rotation player if we do end up signing 2 FA.

House can probably take over at PG for the last 30 games and we can put Duhon out of his misery.

btw I know House is not a true point. I don't care. Duhon blows.

This is about getting the guys out that D'Antoni isn't comfortable with. Nate has a ton more talent than these guys, is loved by the fans and his teammates and was expiring anyway. There is no basketball benefit to this trade and no benefit to the fans. This was done for the coach. The Celtics got a great player.

Good for the Celtics. I hope this helps them beat the Cavs in the playoffs.

Do people realize House cant dribble?

This deal sucks. Darko is 24 yrs old and he couldnt get off the bench. Giddens will not see the floor unless he can shoot 3's.

malik rose seemed to think it was an even trade and he was telling it how it is the whole pregame.. not just a msg mouthpiece.

this was done because you cant build your team by signing bench players before you sign star players.

Malik's and his inside game has already been moved upstairs. He might be worried that D'Antoni might flex some muscle and move him right out of the building.

good to see someone sees this for what it is... this adds nothing to our team longterm & was just made to get rid of a thorn in MDA's side.
