UPDATE: Multiple reports confirm Sheridan’s report on the deal being done. Marcus Landry is also reportedly the 2nd player involved in the deal from the Knicks end, though that has yet to be confirmed. Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com has also wisely pointed out that the Walker/Giddens/House for Robinson/Landry deal works since the Knicks have a couple of trade exceptions at their disposal to make the numbers work. I’m sure the Knicks are still working on a couple other deals before this deadline, so I will not believe any said deal, until we hit the 3pm barrier.
The Boston Celticshave reached a tentative agreement on a deal with the New York Knicksto send Eddie House, J.R. Giddensand Bill Walker to New York for Nate Robinsonand a second player, according to multiple sources. The identity of the second New York player was not immediately clear.
The name Marcus Landry keeps coming up as the other guy. The Globe reports the Celtics will likely waive Landry
According to reports, Tracy McGrady is headed to New York after being a Sacramento King for about 12 hours. And that will affect the Nate Robinson deal with the Celtics. The Celtics had to match salaries with the Knicks. Eddie House makes $2.8 million and J.R. Giddens earns roughly $1 million so, the Celtics had to come up with $1.8 million to take back because Robinson's $4 million contract is only worth $2 million because he is a base-year compensation player.
So the Celtics are likely going to acquire another player along with Robinson -- likely Marcus Landry because of his $400,000 salary -- and they have another roster spot to accomodate another because without having to waive someone of their current roster. But the Celtics likely would waive Landry for roster flexibility.
So keep tabs on the three-way deal between Sacramento, New York and Houston and that complexity affected the Robinson deal. But it's close to done, House will go to New York along with likely Giddens and perhaps Bill Walker to match salaries.

Three players for 2, and then we waive landry.
That means we go from a roster with 14 players to a roster with 12!!!!
Post deadline free agent signings or another deal in the works????!!!????
