Jon,

  Thanks for verifying the number for me.  Let me return the favor:

  The Celtics originally signed King as a favor for his agent.  King was
very upset with the lack of playing time he got, the lack of practices the
Celtics had, and the lack of instruction the coaches offered.  He decided
that he would be better off playing back in the CBA than deal with the 
Celtics.

  King was "saved" from going to the CBA when his agent was contacted by the 
Celtics South (aka the Mavericks) who said they may have a spot for him if he 
didn't sign another 10-day contract with the Celtics.  A few days after his 
contract with the Celtics expired he was signed by the Mavs.


		Laytah,

		Jason
