Is Solomon a Celtic, or a King?

The Herald says he's a King:

SALT LAKE CITY — The Celtics have traded Patrick O’Bryant to Toronto for Will Solomon, but they will still get the roster spot they desire.

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.

UPDATE:

The Globe has him as a King too… meaning we've got 2 open spots.  They also have this:

  • An NBA source also said the Celtics are interested in veteran center Calvin Booth, who just was acquired by the Kings from Minnesota. Boston could pursue Booth as a free agent if he is waived.
  • Also, the Kings have waived forward Mikki Moore, who might appeal to the Celtics. The well-traveled 10-year veteran played three games for Boston during the 2002-03 season.
  • The Celtics now have two open roster spots to add a free agent if they so choose.
