I would offer 1998 1st rounder + 2000 1st rounder + Barros + (throw-in Knight or 
any other player except Walker, Mercer & Anderson, if the Clips want him) to 
Clippers for Lorenzen Wright. The Clips and the Celts (if the Celts waive popeye 
& Tabak which they should) will be under the cap, so the salarys don't have to 
match. 

Wright will be in his third year next season so the Clips will have to dole out 
big bucks to sign him to an extension, an act Donald Sterling has completely 
refrained from in the past. If this happens and the Celts waive Popeye & Tabak 
we get 1-1/2 mill back in our cap which will create a room of about 6 mill. With 
6 mill we can do some serious bidding for a center who the C's could offer upto 
7 year 65 mill deal.
