It is possible, but very unlikely IMO.  Then again, I was wrong about Anstey.

Nellie cannot be this insane/misinformed, surely.  I would hazard a guess
that this rumour could only have been started by Neilsen's agent/publisist,
or maybe the Kings organisation or Steve Carfino (same thing....).  Unless

game.  Someone might use a late second rounder on him because of the "retain
rights on international player" thing, but he will not make the cut.
