> Rick Pitino, who once grew utterly perplexed with a directory

> "Richie's Auto Body" in the local listings, is expected to reunite
> this week with Richie Adubato, the fired coach of the Magic. Pitino is
> expected to add Adubato as a consultant and assistant. The two were
> Knick assistant coaches together. ... Celtics have easily been the
> busiest team in the Atlantic over the summer. Having renounced nine
> free agents, released Dino Radja after failing to have a trade with
> Philadelphia clear, the Celtics have pretty much obliterated any
> salary cap room for the lush '98 class with the signings of Travis
> Knight (seven years, $22 million), Andrew DeClercq (five years, $8.4
> million), Tony Massenburg (three years, $2.7 million) and Bruce Bowen
> (two years, $980,000). ... "There's not too much left of last year's
> team now," Pitino understated. ... Pitino says the slimmed down Dee
> Brown should be "a great player" for his up-tempo system. ... Brown
> dropped 15 pounds after a not-so-veiled threat from the new coach that
> he get his butt in shape. ... Atlanta hoping to land Rick Fox for the
> $1 million exception, although both Toronto and Vancouver have made
> overtures toward the Canadian product. ... Celtics were impressed with
> 7-2, 319-pound Garth Joseph at their free-agent rookie camp last
> month, even though the behemoth, a native of the West Indies and a
> product of Division 2 College of St. Rose in Albany, NY, never set
> foot on the court because of a stress fracture. But 7-2, 319 is always
> impressive, although the Celtics would be more impressed if the line
> read, 7-2, 290.
