Hey, forget Dudley. The Celtics' last two serviceable, young, white
back-up centers landed us DJ and two championship banners (for Rick
Robey) plus Antoine Walker and Ron Mercer (for Eric Montross). So I
agree, Alex, that we build up Chica-Chica's trade value for one more
season, rather than throw him in as salary-cap ballast to acquire an
expensive veteran question-mark like Eldon Cambell for Dana Barros.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Travis Knight earn approximately
the NBA average in terms of salary? I don't remember...
