Re: What's up w/ pheonix

["JLyell" <jlyell@concentric.net>]

I'd still like to see the Celtics acquire Cedric Ceballos, Bryant and
Person or Nash for Ellison, Massenberg  & Barros, Brown, or Edney.

Ceballos would give us another scoring threat and Bryant a player who can
play the 5 position more physical than anyone we currently have.

I think Ceballos and Person are probably gone.  McCloud had a horrible
second half with the Lakers last year.

I still think the non-signings of the rookies means something else is still
in the works, what else could it mean ?
