i was surprised because none of the celtics insiders tweeted anything .

Might be a trade looming where they need the space??

Or are they signing K-Mart and T-Mac?

[leprechaun5]

i thought joseph was going to make it .

Date for teams to guarantee contracts is January 7.

Varnado was expected.

Joseph?

Because we are still a couple days away from the deadline it might be the C's have requested waivers?

Could be with Jan 15th looming there's something in the works.

This might be where Martin (or someone else) comes into play as well.

Please.

Anyway I hope Joseph gets picked up like E'twaun did

Would be cool if Toronto picked up Joseph... Good place for him to start his career...

Wilcox is out, Collins is limited. Normally this would mean playing time but with our team who knows

#Celticstalk: The #Celtics decision to waive Vernado AND Joseph, opens the door for what one league source says may be a "blockbuster" deal.

#Celticstalk: The name that keeps coming up with everyone I speak with about the #Celtics and trades, is #Kings stud DeMarcus Cousins.

So I'm assuming we're going to have to take back a bad contract or two, explaining why DA waived Joeseph and Vernado?
