Overrated ball hogging allergic to defense Austin Rivers and Russ Smith are part of the deal between Memphis, New Orleans, and Boston.

they still need to trade couple more players.

 

[zannmann]

One of the most over rated players in the last 10 years.

The bad news is that Rivers might play some minutes at the 2-guard, which would be bad for James Young.

"The Celtics are now armed with what's likely to be six first-round selections and 14 total picks over the next two drafts. The picks should help Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge both in maneuvering around the draft board and allowing him to seek established talent via trades."

If the Celtics were listed on the NYSE, they would be listed as a "buy" for the future. A team can do a lot with that kind of ammunition.

I can't believe the Pelicans gave up on former UL great Russdiculous before the season was over. Heck, he did not even make it a 1/2 of season with them..Oh well at least he got to play in the Yum! Center wearing a Pelicans uniform.

Sounds like Rivers is gonna be heading to the Clippers via the Celtics. At least the article kind of states that. That's a little further in the future with the league not being open until Monday.

I'm pretty sure they're friends. That's part of the reason they drafted him.
