The NBA trade deadline has passed and the Celtics did NOT make a major move (at this hour, we haven't heard word of a minor move).
Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce will all be wearing Celtic green for the rest of the season.
There was a completely false Twitter report that the Clippers backed out of a deal that would have sent Ray Allen to Los Angeles for a Eric Bledsoe and a 1st round pick.
SI's Chris Mannix reported "interest in Paul Pierce picked up today but Boston's asking price (first round pick, expiring contract) was too high."
There's still time for a minor deal to trickle in. Maybe something involving Marquis Daniels for a yet-to-be-named big man.
New Orleans was unable to move center Chris Kaman. If they decide to buy-out the remaining money on his $14 million contract, the Celtics would be interested. So would the Heat, Spurs and many other teams.
There was plenty of action across the league. Portland gutted its roster and fired coach Nate McMillan. The Lakers acquired Ramon Sessions and dumped Kobe's buddy – Derek Fisher. Crazy Stephen Jackson is going to San Antonio.
As for the Celtics, I'm excited about watching this team have one last stand.
