Great wokr by Paul Pierce he continues to dominate and also i just moticed perkins has been playing great keep it up, good luck for the rest for the rest of the season
Celtics traded Scalabrine and Gomes (2 players that had just a couple of minutes this season) for an experienced C as Kurt Thomas. The objective of this trade was to bring a good defender to the team, who could defend superstar players like Tim Duncan or Jermaine O'Neal. As Boston had a free spot, they decided to bring a PG from the free agents. The chosen one was Tony Delk, another experienced player who can defend really well. Both of them (Thomas and Delk) are upcoming free agents, so their renew will depend on their performances and contract demands for next season.
Dallas Mavericks and Wahington Wizards made the trade of the season: Butler was sent to Dallas, while Terry is now a Wizard.
Awesome moves man, honestly two superior pick-ups. Regarding Kurt that was such a good move because now you add depth and experiance in the post and generally in the talls, Delks signing was also a great move and it should help a lot now that you have a wise head at PG good luck for those two and the rest of the team in the next game
