#7 pick and Dickou for Telfair
 

Boston gets: Sebastian Telfair
Portland gets: #7 pick and Dan Dickou's contract

This would be great because if Telfair went to Louiville for two years we can assume he would have been the best value at #7. The Celts also get to unload Dickou's contract on the Blazers. It all depends if a player like Randy Foye or LaMarcus Aldridge is left at #7. I believe they have different scenarios worked out for this trade.

Meh, it's allright. I think I would rather see Marcus Williams over Telfair...

That is a terrible trade
 

Telfair is not worthy of a 7th pick. Ainge is not that foolish! Look for AI for half of the team and the 7th pick. They will have to include a future 1st as well. Although, that would be a high teens or twenty pick as they will be in the playoffs with Pierce and AI and change.

AI for half our team isn't a good thing either.

They made the playoffs 4 years running before this past year.

i don't like the telfair trade at all. so what, you brought in a "pg". the kid is still very raw, can't play defense and shoots 39% from the field. And D. West avg more apg than telfair did (granted he did play about 10 min more per game). I will say if he does come to the C's and they are patient with him he could grow into a decent player. But if they think he'll come right in and be an impact pg...i don't think so.

I'd rather they draft Foye or Williams than trade for Telfair.

Oh well....
 

The trade JUST went through...details forthcoming. This could come back and bite the you know what later. One.

it was a ok deal this morning, but foxsports now has thomas falling to the 7th pick.

God damn, it went through...

Terrible trade
 

I cannot believe Ainge pulled the trigger on this! I used to think he evaluated talent quite well. This shoots that theory out of the water. It is a BAD deal for Boston! Portland is going to be trading quite a bit tonight! No way they use all of their picks. 4, 7, 30, 31. They are already too young.

what a stupid trade by boston wow

That makes a little more sense.... as Ratliff will bring some great shot blocking to Boston and could be heading back as past of a bigger deal to Phily for AI.

Boston gets to save 12 million off of Raef's contract as well.
