Jim Gray reports ...

The word out of Boston is that this is all bunk. That no trade is going down involving Boston and Marion...

This seems more about draft pick trades, not the Garnett deal?

I thought that this had everything to do with Marion...

Danny Ainge doesn’t comment on trade rumors. But on some occasions, he does laugh.
The Celtics [team stats] do have a lot of irons in the fire as the NBA draft approaches, but sources from the team and the league insist that most of what is being reported regarding the club is patently bogus.
To wit: The Celts have nothing working for Shawn Marion, and if Phoenix gets into the top 10 in the draft, it won’t be through Boston. And the C’s have had no part of any four-team trade discussions.

True, they have stuff working for minnesota.

Correct, we arent looking to take bostons pick.

And the C’s have had no part of any four-team trade discussions.

also true
The rest of the article is about indiana and the 4 way sham. This article doesnt really say anything

Eh, the media has just been jerking us around the last few days. Nobody really knows what the hell they're talking about. I won't believe anything until it's officially done. I think it's obvious that likes of Bucher, Grey and Ford are full of it.

Nice twist, but it doesn't fit. I am not saying anything is dead. I am just saying that Boston wouldn't be doing this deal for Minnesota. What they would or might get is coming from Phx.

The fans fall for it every year. The lunacy of so called sports guru(s). And many want fans to buy their garbage.

Correct, what the article said or what I posted doesnt disprove that.


If i give you marion and you give minnesota picks ratliff etc, you didnt give me anything, you had nothing on the table for me. Everyone is throwing their pieces in the middle and taking what they want in return. The media can twist this perfectly and stir up a huge amount of rumors without being inaccurate.

They then use terms like league or team source, could this include anyone not on the payroll? Heck you could say they dont even have to be on the payroll to be a source.



The odd thing is the most legit info we have had so far has been the two who leaked it, NYC232 from realgm and twondog22 from boxden. They had no allegiance to any media network so their credibility is just supremely lower. But at our current moment they have been the ones giving the least amount of dead rumors and most of what they have said has stuck.
