     Assuming no more trades are made,  I see at least one of the two seven 
footers, Joseph & Coleman, in camp to fill the remaining two spots.  The final 
spot will be open to who ever plays the best in the upcoming camps regardless 
of position.   I wouldn't mind an attempt after free agent Brian Grant, but I 
do not think we have enough $$$ under the cap.

The Celtics now have nine players under contract:

PF/C - Travis Knight, Pervis Ellison

SF   - Antoine Walker, Eric Williams

SG   - Ron Mercer, Greg Minor

PG   - Chauncey Billups, Dee Brown, Dana Barros

One of the remaining three roster spots will go to Andrew DeClerq, another
PF/C type.  

With Derek Strong returning to Orlando, that leaves two more spots on the
roster.  

So, who will get those final two spots (assuming no trades), and which
players will be in Pitino's rotation (as opposed to garbage time players)
when the season starts?
