Phoenix Suns

Today's Boston Globe has the Phoenix Sun's shopping Cedric Ceballos and Wesley 
Persons to the Celtics for we don't know who, but could be either a guard 
<Dana or Dee> making 3 million dollars <because both of them put together make 
3.4> or guard & a forward <Dana or Dee & Williams> who together make a little 
over 4, but are still within the 15%. This move is an intriguing one, if you 
couple it with the fact that they intend to sign Dominique to 1 or 2 year 
contract. Looks like they are preparing for opening up a huge cap-room for 
next year, while willing to stink this season.Gaston must be laughing at 
Colangelo when both he and Checkitts last season were trying to advice Gaston, 
as to how this business should be run, to which Gaston retorted with "How many 
rings have you got?". 
 
Here is my take on the Radja affair, looks like that Radja will void the 
contract with the C's only if the C's pay up the difference which is 2.3x2 + 
5.3 = 9.6 million dollars. I belive Gaston is willing to pay some of the 
difference but not all of it.  
 
Stathis yesterday very accurately reported that the C's want to rent Radja to 
tghe Greek team for a rent off 40% of his existing salary which for 2 years 
equals 2.4. Assuming they expect the Greek team to extend Radja's contract for 
1 more year, the celtics will have to cough up 2.3x3 = 6.9 mill - rent for 3 
years(40% of 9 mill) = 3.6 = 3.3 mill, which though is still sizeable money 
looks do-able. Any other takes. - Mishra     
 
PS: By the way did you see how fast Radja became healthy, no bone on bone shit
