Report: Celtics Eyeing Jamario Moon
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans —
Buried inside Mark Murphy's article on Grant Hill was this tidbit about Jamario Moon: There still are free agents who interest them - notably restricted
free agent Jamario Moon, a younger player in the Hill mold. But the
Celtics can’t afford Moon unless his price significantly drops.
Their best shot at anyone with a straight-up offer is the biannual exception.
A league source said yesterday the Celtics have investigated
sign-and-trade possibilities with other teams - a scenario that could
theoretically work in a move for Moon, who finished last season with
Miami. The Celts also have expiring contracts of varying sizes to offer. Make it happen ...

Jamario Moon and Sign-and-Trades
Boston Celtics Basketball - Celtics news, rumors and analysis - CelticsHub.com —
Two interesting tidbits from the Herald today:
1) The Celtics are pursuing sign-and-trade deals in the wake of losing out on Grant Hill;
2) The team is interested in signing Jamario Moon.
Let’s start with Moon. Yesterday, I crossed Moon off the list of players the C’s could sign for the bi-annual exception (about $2 million), because Miami has already tendered him a qualifying offer. It turns out I was premature. According to Sham Sports (generally one of the most reliable sources for salary information), the Heat’s qualifying offer for Moon had to be about $1 million. But the Heat’s offer was actually less than that, ...
Final Summer League Musings
Boston Celtics Basketball - Celtics news, rumors and analysis - CelticsHub.com —
Includes some potential signings, some free agent food for thought, and a final response to Dante and Galante:
Another summer, another four games in the books and the Celtics have shown that they have a plethora of young talent with hardly any roster spots available. In a perfect world the NBDL would be like Minor League Baseball. Especially with the two new teams starting up in New England, the Springfield Armor and Maine Red Claws. It would be amazing to field a team of Robert Swift, Michael Sweetney, Nick Fazekas, Coby Karl, Chris Lofton, and alternate between J.R. Giddens ...

Sunday Six Pack: Sheed, Lebron and Videotape
NBAMate —
ONE: By now most of you have probably heard about the Lebron James dunk saga, but if not, here’s a quick recap. During a pick up game at a Skills Academy Lebron was running earlier in the week, a young fella by the name of Jordan Crawford came down the lane and dunked on the King’s head with two hands. Thereafter the drama ensued, when allegedly Lebron himself demanded that footage - it was being filmed by two cameramen - be confiscated. Nike officials promptly confiscated the tapes and the dunk will never be seen again. Some of the details are a little hazy - did Lebron really insist this? Or is it “Nike policy”, as they called it, to ban filming of NBA ...
