Von Wafer has played for 6 NBA teams since he was drafted in the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft, so it came as little surprise that he chose to play in Italy for a year instead of waiting out the lockout. But it’s not his paltry 7.3 ppg career scoring average that has people buzzing like sassy little bees today. It’s a Tweet that Wafer – real name Vakeaton Quamar Wafer – allegedly sent out yesterday around 4:30 p.m. and that remained on his Twitter for hours after. As you can read above, Von may have announced to the world that he’s gay.
Wafer’s agent denied that the guard could have posted such a Tweet, as he was on a plane from Italy to the U.S. at the time, but it’s really quite puzzling why a guy with a profile as low as Wafer’s would suddenly be the target for a good, old-fashioned “I’mma Tweet you’re gay” prank. In fact, let’s put on our conspiracy glasses – Gucci, natch – for a second and wonder out loud. Six teams in 6 years, and while playing for the Boston Celtics (his...

Danny Ainge dials up Glen Davis
CSNNE's Sherrod Blakely reports that Danny Ainge called Glen Davis today - the first day teams were able to contact free agents:
"It's very important," John Hamilton, Davis' agent, told CSNNE.com. "It shows Danny and the Celtics appreciate the contributions he has made to the club, and are open to seeing if they can continue to relationship that started...
Are teams underestimating Rajon Rondo's value?
In case you haven't noticed, Rajon Rondo's name has popped up lately in trade rumors for Chris Paul.
Considering Rondo's talent and his affordable contract (4 years, $44 million), I figured he'd be a hot commodity to any GM looking for a point guard. But New Orleans' Dell Demps is not impressed.
Rondo is not the best jump shooter. Not from the field or the...
Ray Allen's Extreme Makeover Moments Get Cut From Broadcast Because Of Lockout(Videos)
For Boston Celtics star Ray Allen, a good deed done by him on ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition was unseen by many.Why you may ask? Well, the NBA lockout prevented the moments from being shown because of Ray's likeness:When the N.B.A. shut down in July, the relationship between the league and its players was severed, and a legal barrier was erected. No player likenesses...

Boston Celtics schedule 2011-12 released
The Boston Celtics’ schedule was released tonight. The C’s have only one back-to-back-to-back, which should be good for creaky legs, but the NBA made up for it by scheduling the Celtics for the maximum amount of games against the Heat (4), Bulls (4), Lakers (2), Mavericks (2) and Thunder (2).A few big dates:Dec. 25, 2011 at New York Knicks — Season opener.

The Fragile Nature of Past, Present and Future
It is hard to believe, but the days of Rajon Rondo in Boston are numbered. I always thought Rajon would play here for the rest of his career, or at least he would be the bridge to a new generation once the Big Three retires. His contract ($55 million/5 years), and his rising performances made the future look filled with impossible passing and Larry Birdesque shows.
Rajon Rondo has...
Celtics Need Signature Quick Start More Than Ever, As 2011-12 Schedule Is Treacherous in Second Half
The Celtics have made a habit out of quick starts during the "Big Three" era. With the NBA announcing its condensed 66-game schedule on Tuesday, it's incredibly clear that they'll need another one of those quick starts more than ever this season. First, a little bit of history. In the four seasons since Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen came together in Celtic...

Glen Davis desirable to New Orleans Hornets as part of Chris Paul package?
The Boston Celtics are reportedly “uber-aggressive” in their pursuit of Chris Paul, but the Hornets are thought to be “lukewarm” on Boston’s offer, said to include some combination of Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Jeff Green and/or two draft picks, plus-or-minus one of Boston’s two rookies.

According to the Globe's Julian Benbow.... yes.
Count me as being on board with this. This also fits along with the most likely, and most boring, scenario of the Celtics looking a lot like they did at the beginning of last year. So no... I don't expect any big, splashy moves. Sorry, CP3.
Sensing he can't be a Knick, CP3 now wants to be a Laker
SI.comNo matter how badly Paul wants to join forces with Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire, it seems clear that he realizes he can't get to New York via trade this season. As a result, his new favorite destination, I'm told, is the Lakers.And what about the Celtics chances?
