Gill's problems early on in his career had nothing to do with his 
character as a person. I believe that he was diagnosed with clinical 
depression, which he is now over.

Living in the NY-NJ area I hear a lot of news about the Nets. Kendall 
is a solid person and a leader, however the solid play of Kerry 
Kittles coupled with the need for a small forward has made Gill 
expendible.

Getting Gill would give the Celtics one of the top 2 guards in the 
league. If they're lucky enough to land Duncan, just think how 
competitive a starting lineup of Gill, Wesley, Walker, Duncan and 
Radja would be.
