Celtics get Andrew DeClerq?

[Ed Ag <afn15554@afn.org>]

My morning paper reports that Andrew DeClerq has agreed "in principle" to
sign with the Celtics, pending approximately $3 million being freed up via
Dino signing to play in Greece.  DeClerq's deal would be $8.4 million for 5
years.  The article also said that the Celtics have made an offer to Derek
Strong for a 4 year deal.
     Celtic fans will like DeClerq.  I saw him play many times during his
four years at the University of Florida.  He's a 6'10" package of defense,
rebounding and hustle.  He is not a prima donna.  He's a hard-nosed,
hard-working, team-oriented guy.  I think he is a fine addition.
