Bynum signs with Celts, Dickau could be next

[coloradosun]

Realgm this morning and Hoopshype.com

Celts are beginning to have a log jam in the back court. Not sure of the reasoning behind it but some trade must be coming next.

Will Bynum is a guy I thought the Suns should consider, he is a player very similar to Nate Robinson. Celts probably brought him on to match up with Robinson and the Knicks. Dickau just seems like a Danny Ainge type of player.

Maybe the Suns could pry away both Marcus Banks and Tony Allen with their trade exception and give Boston back their pick we got from Atlanta. That would give us two first rounders from the 2004 draft, could make up for the fact that we traded out of that particular 1st round.

I am not a big Banks fan either but he seems to more a true point guard than Barbs.

The guy in my sights is Tony Allen.

I thought I already explained why Tony Allen will not be traded?

Marcus Banks is a hard nosed defender that has problems running an offense. I still like him better than Dickau though.

I love the Q trade for KT. But DAMN I wanted Nate Robinson real bad!

The Celts were supposedly going to waive Qyntel Woods but that transaction has not been reported on either Realgm or Hoopshype.

A trade for nothing in return could do their roster some good. The signing of Bynum combined with the rumor of also signing Dickau is very odd.

Maybe Delonte West is on the move?

Not sure, how high I am on him though...

Banks is the one that will be moved, unless it is part of a major deal.
