TRADE: Celtics get Will Solomon for POB

Chris Sheridan: A source tells me the Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Patrick O'Bryant to Toronto for backup point guard Will Solomon. There were reports that O'Bryant was headed to Sacramento, but this deal fills Boston's need for another option at point guard behind Rajon Rondo, Eddie House and Gabe Pruitt, and it gives the Raptors another big body to bring off the bench.

Anyone who watched Andrea Bargnani and Jake Voskuhl try to stop Zydrunas Ilgauskas last night can see why the Raptors would be looking for some more size.

Might as well go ahead and get Big Baby fitted for another (larger, most likely) ring.

Joe Smiths' gonna get bought out and sign with Boston..

Solomon actually went to the Kings, with the Celtics getting back a heavily protected 2nd round pick.

Savvy, under the radar moves by Ainge. He's cleared two roster spots, which could allow him to potentially land Joe Smith and Marbury, similar to how they got Cassell and P.J. Brown last year.

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

If I was Ainge, I wouldn't even bother with Marbury.

Like they need another PG who can't shoot.

Who cares about jumpshooting when you can get to the basket at will?

Um, if Marbury went to Boston don't you think he'd be on his best behaviour with his buddy KG in town?

There is no way Marbruy would fuck that up (for the 2nd time).

Just imagine how good those 2 could have been if jealousy didn't fuck it up.

[Vinny]

Sorry, Pharoah, I know you've been out of the loop, but did you miss the part where Marbury went bat-shit crazy?

[Pharaoh]

Oh, I know he went nuts, but I was just remember the good ol' days for Minnesota, when it seemed like that franchise could actually get out of the Lottery and become something good.

Poor Minny fans - that team has been shit forever.

I don't think we should underestimate Marbury's "batty"-ness.
