   Seven million a year for Geiger is a lot of money but he's done a very good job
   for the Hornets as a starter, and that seems like the way the market is heading
   nowadays. You figure Ike Austin might command more than that and there are some
   questions about whether he can repeat his play early in the season. If Geiger
   can negate the huge inside advantage that most teams have had against the
   Celtics, then he'll be worth it because they'll win many more games. 

$7 million for Geiger is a big high, unless you consider that today is
April Fool's Day.  Is this a joke?  I didn't see anything about the
Celtics or Geiger on ESPN.  It's highly unlikely that anything would
happen at this point in the season, past the trading deadline and
right before the playoffs.
