I have a better idea....Let's trade Pervis Ellison for Shaquille O'Neal, Dana 
Barros for Penny Hardaway, Steve Hamer for Karl Malone, and Greg Minor for 
Michael Jordan.  Then the Celtics could draft Duncan and Mercer.  This would 
give them a starting five of

C O'Neal
F Malone
F Walker
G Jordan
G Hardaway

I think this team could rule the universe...

Come on, people, could we have a little more realism, and less fantasy in our 
trade proposals?  SA is *NOT* going to trade Robinson, and no one is going to 
trade good draft picks or players for the Celtics dead weight.
