Predictions

[Michael Joseph Byrnes <mbyrnes@leland.Stanford.EDU>]

1. The Celtics will not trade either of their two lottery picks.  (Slight
   hedge: if a trade does happen, it will involve Stackhouse).

2. Neither Wesley nor Fox will be signed to a multiyear deal (though one
   year plus an option is a possibility).  

3. The Celtics will NOT draft a point guard with either lottery pick.

4. Chris Wallace will pull at least one rabbit out of a hat (either with
   the #55 pick, or as a free agent (a la Austin or Lenard).

5. Dana Barros, Dee Brown, Dino Radja, and Pervis Ellison will all get
   a lot of playing time under Pitino, and will do better than many on
   this list give them credit for (assuming that they stay healthy).

6. No major trades will happen until just before the trading dealine, and
   even then I would not be surprised to see nothing happen.

7. No major free agent signings before the season starts.

8. (The easiest) The Celtics will be a lot more fun to watch next year.
