Could McDyess be the Next Celtic???

[JASPINDLER@aol.com]

Reading between the lines with the recent EW deal to Denver, and the signing
of Mills and Edney........Denver basically got EW for nothing....since when
are we Santa Claus??......the agent for McDyess is Arm Tellum, also the same
agent for Chris Mills and Tyus Edney.........hmmm.....let's say for the sake
of argument that a deal is proposed with the Nuggets for EW and Barros or Dee
for McDyess..... let's also say that in conversations with the agent, an
alternative is proposed, for example a 2 part trade such as phase 1 send EW
to Denver, clear the cap, sign Mills and Edney, phase 2 trade Barros or Brown
and let's say a couple of second round picks in 1999 and 2001 to Denver for
McDyess. (note that the salaries are a match) Now Phase 3 sign the new
rookies Mercer and Billups, and finally sign McDyess for the megabucks.
 Voila as they say in France.....we have completed our dealing, and can
resign Mr. Walker to anything we want after next season.  This creative
manuever is what is known in the business as win-win-win.  Denver gets EW and
Brown or Barros for a player that WILL NOT re-sign with Denver....Tellum gets
three of his clients placed on Pitino's up and coming juggernaut, and of
course us Celtics fans are having orgasms over the following lineup

Center: Knight and Declercq
Power: McDyess and Massenburg
Small: Walker, Mills and Bowen
OffGuard: Mercer, Minor and Brown or Barros
Point: Billups and Edney

and the coup de gras as they also say in France is that the 13th player under
contract, Mr Ellison gets CUT or retires or goes over to Europe....sayonara
