Saltimbocca wasn’t trying to “guide” Luke Scott, he walked up behind him & SHOVED him which in most parts of the world, leads to shovee knocking out shover.  The bias in delivery of description is something any “news” source should be ashamed of. What you’ve delivered is a blog entry, not a news story.

 Sox fans are pretty hardcore. For a Sox fan to stand up and say what he did of both parties is news. Sorry about the activities today Shamed Sox Fan!! It was outta control and a very bad judgement call. Joe Maddon said in his press conference that it was a bad decision and it could have hurt players on either side “How True” Very very shameful Mr Valentine.. Might as well tally you up to a N.O. coach because it looked just like a bounty was called for Luke Scott. I can understand a wild pitch but 3 in a row with one being behind him? How much did you promise Morales to say that he did not intend to hit Scott? Also, the world knows that Morales is better than that, why couldn’t he throw a freaking ball to hit? Possibly he had only 2 words in his mind that you implanted Mr Valentine… “HIT SCOTT”. Say what you will about stupid ghost and if you believe that is what happened and I am sure you are in bed right now trying to figure out how to make your self believe that.. Sorry Sox Fans, but I hope BOBBY VALENTINE, picks up the curse and not the ghosts. LOL. I hope you guys lose all year and skin Bobby with your cleats.

My son played college ball with Luke and I pitched BP to him at Indian River Community College. Luke is really put together and a great guy, but I can’t believe after they threw the ball behind him, then almost hit him in the head and then actually hitting him that he didn’t go after the pitcher. I have never seen anything like that in my life and then he was getting pushed around by the sox cather who told him to just go to first base. MAN I would have been flying out to the mound win or lose the fight. I think that he might want to rethink that situation.

Sure, you’re a Sox fan.  ”Saltimbocca”?   Seriously, go enjoy some of those nice beaches you guys have near Tampa.   Better yet, show up to one of your team’s home games. 

 Varitek would have knocked Puke Scott on his @##. Maddon hasnt won anything yet. He needs to schedule more home games with the Sox so he can fill some seats in his lame stadium.

  You haven’t a clue.

Want some cheese to go with that whine????When you disrespect somONE or some CITY you can’t expect respect back!Heres hoping for another plunking or two for Luke “The Puke”

Hows last place looking these days? How about the epic comeback from 9 games back last year to catch the sux?

 Nah.. I think Scott would have mingled Varitek’s helmet so far around his bat that it would have to have been surgically cut off. Maddon is just awaiting you #uck sticks to quit trying to come in and act like you want some, so that he can focus on coaching BASEBALL you idiot. Besides, how long did it take for BOSTON to get their groove back after the so called curse, or Ghost as your boy bobby would call it? Look at all of those years vs the years of existence by the Rays. Maddon Has taken the LOWEST PAID TEAM to the playoffs more times than the 1M$+ teams in the past 6 years.

YEAH RIGHT–then who will play defense and rebound?

If it was Caron Butler and Drew BLEDSOE its still a now….

Doesn’t KG have a no trade clause?

DUMB move.  The Celtics need quality size. Garnett is the only quality big they have. Why trade to get smaller?

TERRIBLE trade.

The talk the other day was should the Celtics trade Sullinger or Bradley. Is everyone nuts!!  Why trade young talent?

     NO  !!!

it’s already crowded at the SG spot. and we’re proving that having a pure PG isn’t as important as having a defensive player like KG. no

Not a total surprise that this report would surface after this game. No doubt, the two teams probably chatted about the deal the past day as well. I doubt the Celtics would do this trade anyway, particularly the way the team looks. However, as they get closer to the trade deadline, if the team falls apart – then I could see them listening to it.

Danny is not going to do this trade, unless a couple of things happen. KG says he would like to go there and finish out the year with the chance of a ring, then retire. And, the Clippers would have to offer more than that – probably Bledsoe and Jordan – to make the Celtics think about biting.

That’s right…Let’s keep him and see how good he is when he is 40

People….Think big picture here…one more week and we can get a much better deal for him…and the odds are pretty good what the Celts get back won’t be needing a walker to get up and down the court

Trade their best big man and the anchor to their defense for yet another small forward and a point guard we don’t need? Yeah…great idea….NOT. If anything,I would like to see the Celts sign free agent Kenyon Martin for the remainder of the season. Martin will give them rebounding and the toughness inside that  no one else on the team currently provides.

 By the time the draft rolls around,Rondo will be 4 months into his recovery from ACL surgery and Danny Ainge may have some interesting trade offers on draft day for Rondo. I would definitely entertain dealing Rondo for a top ten draft pick if a quality big is on the board.

Keep in mind..this report came from the LA side. For all we know,Ainge may have already told the Clippers no thanks.

I’d say “Yes” to the trade !  Only that the Clippers would give the Celts a draft pick as well.
We do need a Center that can play minutes on the floor. KG is now limited to his minutes, so
the trade would give the Celts a good point guard and a strong forward.
When you think deeper, look at all the trading players the Celts could put together to get the men
they are looking for. 
There is NO one like KG, if you trade him, Pierce will go next. And if something comes up with Rondo of interest, we may be looking at a truly different team next year. Danny is able to piece
the team together. But just like it was when Bird-McHale-and Parrish were together, we never
wanted to see them ever leave either. Age talks….and there are rising stars coming !!!

 He and Pierce do.

Last thing we need is another Bledsoe in NE.

The difference here is…Garnett is still performing at a high level. If the Celts could acquire a quality big to spell him KG could easily play another 2-3 yrs. Let’s remember…this isn’t some slow footed guy with a history of injuries. KG is still one of the best conditioned athletes in the league,age notwithstanding.

Trading Rondo while he’s out for the year with an ACL tear is smart.  So smart.  Bet you’d get great value.  Good ideas.

deandre jordan and jamal crawford for K.G and barbosa…………yes

Id do KG for Bledsoe and Jordan…..THAT would make SENSE.

How reliable is a report from someone who cannot spell the name of Bledsoe correctly?

Me too thats the only deal we could do with the clippers

KG can waive the no trade clause, if he wants to, allowing the trade.

Pierce does NOT have a no trade provision in his contract.There are only 4 players in the league with no trade clauses. KG,Kobe,Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitski

Why don’t they just throw in a bag of fisheads and rice too. NO!!!!!  KG is a Celtic until he retires and then his number hangs in the Gaaaaaaden

Continue kicking the tires on available big men to COMPLIMENT KG. A stronger rebounding and defensive presence is what we need, not another SG!

I think it would be a decent trade but I don’t understand why you would want to get smaller.  I would do the trade for Pierce because he still has trade value and is from Cali.

Yes, he does.  He would have to waive the clause.

I would trade the whole Celtics team for Blake Griffin, just saying

No deals for anyone unless it is a 6’10″ wide body or a legitimate center.  Otherwise, Danny doesnt do anything significant.  Makes more sense not to make the playoffs.

It’s a good thing you don’t run the Celtics. By the way,where was Blake in crunch tme yesterday?

No that’s interesting. I just saw that article myself today. Here’s a clip from the article posted on Celtics Blog when he signed a 4 year extension in 2010
“Happy news for the Celtics and us the fans. Paul Pierce is set up to retire as a Boston Celtic.
From updates (posted below) it sounds like they are still negotiating the terms surrounding the 4th year. I believe they are working on partially guaranteeing the 4th year.
The value to the Celtics is having the option to cut most of his salary from the books in the 4th year (or trade him to a team looking to cut payroll). The value to Pierce (other than the extra money) is getting a no-trade clause (that only kicks in if he signs for 4 years). Sounds like a win-win.”

Lets get real here…KG for Bledsoe and Butler is a joke, not gonna happen. Now KG for Jordan, Bledsoe and a # 1 is a different story. Secondly, PP is NOT going to be traded, end of discussion. The Celts will not include Rondo, AB, or Sully in any trade, they are the future. The guys to trade are Green, Terry, and Bass, and combination of two of them, they are expendable and can bring us back something good in return. Keep KG and PP, trade for Gortat, and go to war.
