Radja- No
Minor- Yes
Ellison- No

Day- No
Wesley- Yes
Fox- YES
Brick- No
Lister- No
Conlon- Don't know


You left out some of our losers like Szabo and Hammer, but they don't
really matter anyway since I seriously doubt any of them will be here next
year.  I think that the Celtics will look to unload Radja first, after him
Brown and then Barros.  They will probably re-sign Welsey (I hope!) and
maybe Fox, but nobody else.
