If we want Rauf, we can sign him.  Isn't he a free agent?

Wesley  are the Celtics own players, so the cap can be exceeded for them
due to the  "Larry Bird Clause".  This also assumes the Celtics let Day,

Vaught has been a very dependable 4, and Stewert is impressive,  but isn't
that where Antoine fits best ?  I would rather see us go for Tim Thomas for
the 3 spot and pick up a backup guard or center like Kiwane Garris or Scot
Pollard with the second rounder, or take a look at this Stephen Jackson or
Dedric Willoughby.  We need some outside shooting bad.  How about Bobby
Phills or Voshon lenard as free agents ?

Do you think Sacramento would swap Rauf for Dee Brown or Barros ?
