Raptors, Celtics, Kings trade Will Solomon, Patrick O

[PaperClip]

The Sacramento Kings today acquired Will Solomon from the Toronto Raptors and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade that sent Boston’s Patrick O’Bryant to Toronto and a protected Kings’ second round pick in 2014 to Boston, according to Kings’ President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. In a related move, Sacramento waived Mikki Moore. “Considering the recent roster moves made over the last 24 hours, this trade allows us to bring in an experienced guard in Will, when you consider his time in the NBA, coupled with his extensive experience playing professionally overseas,” said Petrie. “We also want to thank Mikki for his contribution and wish him the best.”

this bench warmers swapping is fine with the Raps. Solomon would never get any playing time since Roko has played so well and the addition of Marcus Banks. They also need a spare big while Hump is not ready to come back.

2nd worst trade of the deadline. After Mihm for a 2013 2nd round pick

[Valliant13]

This is a fantastic low key move. I realize it seems chincy to people who haven't "enjoyed" Will Soloman's play...but the Raps are badly hurting for live bodies at the four and five right now. O'bryant is 7' and can move under his own power, and has a few basketball skills...this is a coup for Toronto.

And O'bryant does have some interesting physical abilites...maybe he matures into a respectable backup big.

lol O'Bryant won't play. This is pointless. With 4 PGs it was necessary though.

[Spudjjay]

Who the hell is Will Solomon?

[ProfessorMurder]

Is this all the C's are doing? I'm kind of hoping they go for Marbury after the deadline.

Jawai was playing first quarter minutes last night....I'm sure Pat will find his way into the game now and then.

[Koop1]

Lol Does this garbage even deserve a sticky thread

[Beebo]

Who the hell is Will Solomon?

He's gonna challenge rondo for the starting pg position!! :lol

Who the hell is Will Solomon?

Solid guard from Connecticut..played colllege at Clemson and had a lot of successful years overseas. I think he will get some minutes from the Celtics and i hope so.

I am a little biased however, because when I was younger, I actually looked up to Will Solomon a lot since he was from my area.

Heres a video of Will for those celtic fans who have no idea who he is.

solomon to the Kings for a conditional 2nd

[Maniak]

Raps will win the title now, book it.

Solomon is being sent to Sacramento for a conditional second round draft pick (similar to the Sam Cassell trade).

That gives the Celts two open roster spots, and they hope to fill at least one with a veteran big man over the next couple of weeks.

With their available bodies at 11, J.R. Giddens is being called up from the D-League and will be with the Celts when they play the Jazz tonight.

Boston hereld

They can't do that to me! I just talked myself into the Patrick O'Bryant era.
LONG LIVE THE BLACK IRISH!

That pretty much sums up Will Soloman.

Raptors get: : Patrick O'Bryant
Kings:Will "Chuck" Solomon
Celtics:Heavily protected 2nd rounder from Sac

I like this trade,nothing special but if O'Bryant becomes half of what he could be, Raptors win this trade. I remember him during his college days, maybe he can gain more confidence in Toronto.

[kwajo]

Sweet! Got rid of Solomon-cruddy! :pimp:

[Lebron23]

King Solomon > King James

:oldlol: :lol :oldlol:

The guy was always up cheering his team on and quickly became one of my faves. Project Pat will be missed.

:D
he's also a good passer.

[Zan Tabak]

Would of traded Solomon for a bag of balls..The fact that we're getting anyone in return makes it a good trade for the Raps.

[A.M.G.]

This is very similar to getting Primoz Brezec last year for Juan Dixon. O'Bryant is not much of a basketball player, but he's near 7'0 with good athleticism, with Hump's leg broken we needed another big.

So the Celts traded Will to the Kings for a second rounder? Looks like the Celtics have a veteran FA/retired big man in mind. Maybe Zo comes out of retirement for another ring?

As for the Kings, I assume they will buy out Solomon, who will head back to Europe and make a very decent living.

It's hard to believe O'Bryant was a lotter pick 3 years ago (#9). Talk about a bust.

Scrub for a scrub. This doesn't make us better at all.

I hope O'Bryant can turn out to be a surprise, and be productive.

[MiseryCityTexas]

scrub for a scrub.:roll:

[1~Gibson~1]

King Solomon > King James

:oldlol: :lol :oldlol:Lebron 23 is a gang member :eek:

yah what i was thinkinbg but with hump out we needed backup bigs and we had calderon roko and banks who can all hopefully be successful and solomon was just brutal glad we got rid of him

[hawkfan]

Hopefully the Hawks can sign Mikki Moore, although early reports have him going to the Celtics.

[phoenix_bladen]

lol wow o bryant was picked in the same draft as bargnani gay, aldridge, roy lol
