Rumors: TA for Willie Green; Memphis #2 Pick
TEAMS: Boston Celtics,  Philadelphia 76ers
PLAYERS: Willie Green,  J.R. Giddens
Picimg_nba_feb_25_0794

The Celtics have surfaced as potential suitors for Memphis' #2 pick in the draft:

As the rumor mill churns, the Griz have been approached by several teams about acquiring the second overall pick. Boston, Houston and New York are said to be among the most recent suitors.

Boston and Houston would likely have to offer an established NBA player or two, given that neither team owns a first-round pick.

Not sure why the Celtics would want the #2 pick, unless there's interest in Haseem Thabeet. He's the only guy who could help them win a title. But do we have anything Memphis would want?

There are rumors and then there are rumors. We found this one on the RealGM message boards, posted by someone with a reputation for having inside information. I'll need a shower after posting this, but here it is:

Boston offered us tony allen and Jr Giddens for (Willie) Green verbally...not sure what that does for us. Probably nothing.

For those wondering, Willie Green is a 6-3 swingman who averaged 8 ppg last season. Other than that, I don't know much about his game.

    Tony Allen is another athletic guard that can't shoot. I don't think he would help us at all. Not so sure about JR Giddens. Maybe they both have expiring contracts so this is a move to clear space for 2010. I liked what Willie Green showed late in the year. His shot was much more consistent. He's always been a solid defender as well. We should keep him unless we can get a legitimate shooting threat in return.

      Wow I'm retarded. I mixed up the Grizzlies and Thunder. My bad.

      TA is up after this year, and the remaining years on Giddens deal are not guaranteed. Maybe a change of scenario would do TA and Willie good.

    I would rather keep Willie Green.

    Willie Green and Tony Allen are the same player. Lateral move if it goes down.

      Did you watch Mikki Moore last season? Thabeet would be a major upgrade over that stiff.
