Radja did not tell the Celtics doctor's but took a third opinion of a
Doctor in New York. I am not surprised that the Celtics doctor did not
know. RP never said that an MRI has been performed on Radja's knees..he
said that Radja has been playing tennis with the physical trainer and has
been coming to practice and appears to be in top physical shape.

I don't because either or his agent would have made that point amidst all
that cross-fire that happend following his trade. It is clear that Dino
wants to stay with the celtics and RP has no use for him.. let's see what
happens the C's are already talking to several European teams. - Mishra
