No can do.  The C's cannot trade Massenburg or Edney.

I'm not sure that anything else is in the works.  Once Billups and Mercer
sign, that will end any cap room that we have left.  So, I think that
Pitino and Wallace decided a long time ago to sign these guys at the last
possible moment, to give themselves the most flexibility.  But, I doubt if
anything specific is in the works.  If anything is, it would have to 
involve Ellison, Barros, Brown, Minor or Walker.  Those are the only
players the Celtics can trade before they sign Billups and Mercer.
