How about this for a major facelift:

Pitino

Duncan or Battie
Chauncy Billups, Ron Mercer, or Dedric Willoughby ?
Doleac, Pollard, or Jason Lawson ?  Some beef & intimidation in the middle
would help.
sign Knight & Derek Anderson as free agents.

Billups could help as a backup point , otherwise we would still need some
help for Wesley. Move Radja, Brown, if possible



Hey I see we lost to the Grizzlies and Big Country had 33, Abdur Rahim 28.
The Celtics made 35 of 105 shots !
