I know it's from TK.. but it's still dirty
I know posting on a blog is not a crime but when you're the PR guy who was one of the ones responsible for putting together the Riley/Rowell fan conference, then it's sort of wrong.
Ray Felton Trade Rumor on hoopshype.com
Wright or Randolph for Felton.
Bad trade imo. Even though he is a decent pg, Felton and Monta would be way too smallish a backcourt to defend anyone.
POB: "I'm going going, back back, to D-League D-League."
The Celtics continued their search for a big man by working out Patrick O'Bryant, Golden State's first-round pick (ninth overall) out of Bradley in 2006. The 7-foot center showed decent range and solid footwork taking feeds in the post. But when he hit the low post against Wisconsin's Brian Butch and Detroit Mercy's Ryvon Covile, who had each been practicing since 9 in the morning, O'Bryant was tugging at his shorts not even 15 minutes into the drill, struggling to muster enough strength to defend either. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss pointed out that O'Bryant arrived in Boston at 1 a.m., although he tired quickly against players who had been on the court all morning. O'Bryant took the court at approximately 11 a.m.
You'd figure if he wanted a job elsewhere he would be working out feverishly so he could dominate nonames instead of get worked by them.

Official Pre Draft Measurements!
Most of the draft hopefuls this year are listed. Some notable prospects not listed include Mo' Speights, Kosta 2.0, Robin Lopez, Brandon Rush, CDR, Bill Walker, and all the internationals.
Measurements are what they are and doesn't reflect on actual skills, but nonetheless they are important in determining the potential of a prospect.
Some interesting ones that caught my eye:
Dorsey only 6' 7.25" with shoes on is scary in a bad way.
Donte Green, DeAndre Jordan and Darrell Arthur getting out jumped in the max verticals (both stationary and with steps) by K-Lo.
Not surprisingly Joe Alexander looks great on paper with nice measurments all around. Good size and length, monster hops, 2nd most bench presses and 2nd fastest sprints.
Let the 14th pick debate continue!
What are we going to do?

With free agency looming, the chances of Pietrus staying are slim to none.
I have not been a big fan of his this season but he has proved me wrong of late.
I know priorities are to resign Monta and Beans and management most likely will be able to do so.
I don't forsee Baron opting out either and we would probably be able to keep Buki at a reasonable price too.
Barnes is most likely out of here unless he signs for the minimum or something. But the one guy that the Dubz will probably lose and miss the most is Pietrus.
It's obvious we need more of his brand of defense and energy. If he leaves, I don't know how we could get any better than we are. At the late teens spot where we will draft, I doubt there will be someone who can match P's intensity, rebounding and defense.
Brandon Rush looks like he could be a solid defender with his frame, but even if the Dubz drafted him, would Nellie play him?
I love watching the Dubz play day in night out, but aside from our current players like B-Wright getting immensely better, I don't know how else we can improve this offseason.
What are your thoughts?
idea: sign PJ now

With the trade deadline passing quietly for the Dubz, it looks like Nellie will opt to duke it out for a playoff spot with his core of veterans.
No matter how much we get abused inside by teams with legit bigs like Boozer, we know the Wright Brotha and POB aren't going to get any burn this year.
With Beans being out for a week or 2 now, we all are hoping to see the young bigs try to contribute. But with C-Webb slowly gaining conditioning and rhythm and Croshere back to health, we all know garbage time in a blowout is all Nellie will continue to feed our youngins.
Our team has great chemistry and on a good night, we can beat anyone, as evidenced last night. (Thank you Baron!) As well as we are doing this year, we are still not a lock for the playoffs. Even if we finish strong like last season and get in, it is apparent that we need another effective interior post defender in order to have a shot at getting through round 1 and beyond.
I might be an optimist, but I really feel that if we had just 1 more dependable big who can defend the post well, we could contend for the title. Now that we can no longer trade for help, I'm thinking we could attempt to sign PJ Brown.
C-Webb in to help ignite our half-court offense and PJ in to slow down bigs and provide toughness when Beans is overmatched or alone. He's a vet and I'm sure Nelson would utilize him right away unlike Wright or POB.
I know we'd have to waive someone in order to bring him in so just cut POB loose earlier than what's inevitable anyways. I don't forsee POB resigning with the Dubz even if we offer him a multi-year deal this offseason.
What do you guys think?
