I just found out on TNT watching the Suns - Heat game
Ricky/Blount/Banks/Reed and 2 second round picks
FOR
Wally/Kandi/Dwayne Jones and a conditional first round pick
Yeah that's it...
Wow that's a pretty big trade. The Wolves finally got rid of Kandi. My first impression is that Minny benefits more.
Wow the Timberwolves didn't get any better.
This is going to be interesting...
Wally in a Celtics uni is gonna be ugly...well, I guess everyone does, those things suck...
Decent trade for the T'Wolves. They get a pretty good center and a wing who can score. I don't think it pushes them over the hump at all, but they should contend for a 4th or 5th seed.
For Boston is doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Boston fans will like Wally but that's about all I can make of it ...
This trade came out of nowhere....why would Boston want Wally???
They've replaced Sprewell with Ricky Davis.
What's sprewell up to now a days???
Great deal for Boston.
They save money, get the better player and a first round pick.
On a side note, Minny traded Skita to the Suns for a pick.
I wonder if they will play on Sat.
He's white.
Recognizing that Kandi is irrelevant (expiring contract to boot), this bodes well for my dynasty teams - Go Perkins and Go Big Al!
Since the Timberwolves only win when Wally is playing well, it'll be interesting to see which direction they go without him. I also expect Wally and Pierce to get in a fight on the floor over the ball at some point this season.
He's working at a Walgreens.

Was Glenn Robinson apart of this trade too?
Would have thought Minny'd get more for Wally. Ricky Davis is hugely underwhelming.
Side note?!
Not sure what to think. I don't think highly of the kid, but the Suns have made three players (Hunter, House and Diaw) look much, much better. Burke doesn't look bad when he's out there, just awkward. If they can get 5/6 points, 2/3 rebounds, I'll consider it a huge success.
Celtics, Timberwolves involved in multiplayer deal
BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics acquired Wally Szczerbiak and Michael Olowokandi from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in a multiplayer deal that sent Ricky Davis and three other players to Minnesota.
Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and two conditional second-round draft picks are going to the slumping Timberwolves. The Celtics also get Dwayne Jones and a future first-round draft pick, Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said.
"We are ecstatic to acquire a player of Wally Szczerbiak's quality to complement Paul Pierce and our young talent base," Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a statement.
"In Wally, we are receiving an All-Star player who is playoff tested and who has been a winner at all levels. We wish Ricky, Mark, Marcus, and Justin continued success in Minnesota."
The Wolves have been involved in trade speculation for weeks, with both Szczerbiak and Olowokandi frequently being mentioned in rumors. They finally made a move Thursday, a day after a 20-point loss to Memphis, their third straight defeat.
The 6-foot-7 Szczerbiak was second on the Wolves with 20.1 points per game. The 7-foot Olowokandi, the top overall pick in the 1998 draft, has been a disappointment and scores just six per game.
Davis, a 6-7 guard, is the Celtics' second-leading scorer with 19.7 points per game. Blount averages 12.4.
Banks, a point guard and former first-round draft pick, was made expendable by the development of Delonte West.
Timberwolves got the better deal.
Ricky=Wally, Blount>Olowokandi, Banks>Jones
So are they going to be playing with their different teams tomorrow? Since both Timberwolves & Celtics play Friday.
Damn both teams play each other tommorow? Should be a interesting game...
