Kings get O'Bryant from Celtics

[rainmaker]

The Celtics have traded backup center Patrick O'Bryant to the Sacramento Kings. The move was made for salary-cap purposes and the club will not receive a player in return, according to an NBA source.
There is the possibility that the club will receive a draft pick in exchange for the 7-footer, who averaged 1.5 points in 26 games for the Celtics after signing as a free agent in the offseason.
O'Bryant was not at the Celtics' shootaround this afternoon

Great move. Don't know what we gave up- doesn't look like much. O'bryant is a great prospect.

Such a great prospect the Celtics gave him up for nothing!

Well guess there goes us shedding Noc's contract, but still, worth it to take a look. Wanted us to try to pick him up from Golden State a couple of years ago.

lol.. I guess this is it...

I suppose that indicates the Celtics aren't getting Noc

Seriously..

So we now have or had four players (Douby, O'Bryant, Shelden, and Cedric Simmons) from that awful talent-thin 2006 draft. All picked at or close to the lottery.

Who're we getting next? Saer Sene, Shannon Brown, and Maurice Ager?

We don't get O'Bryant

source tells me the Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Patrick O'Bryant to Toronto for backup point guard Will Solomon. There were reports that O'Bryant was headed to Sacramento, but this deal fills Boston's need for another option at point guard behind Rajon Rondo, Eddie House and Gabe Pruitt, and it gives the Raptors another big body to bring off the bench.

Pricks -- nudge me next time we do a favor for some team adn expect anything in return.

I was actually excited about O'Bryant... What a shame...
