Re: Good news for the soaring celts.

I really love that idea of trading either barros or brown for Williams
(Michael, isn't it?) of the Wolves.  I am not really sure but I think
Williams signed a high salary in the level of Barros or Brown, so I think it
would be a good deal for both teams for they could really use a good back up
for Marbury and finally we could unload one of the dead weights in our team
in exchange for someone we could waive in the season's end.  This would be a
GREAT DEAL!
