He said he didn't see them taking one of the high school players
with the tenth pick, but if he dropped down, that would be a 
possibility.  He said there was a 85 percent chance, he would keep 
the No. 10 spot in the draft.  He said, if he was planning to trade 
Antoine, he could have dealt him a couple of weeks ago; so he expects to 
re-sign him.  He doesn't expect Tractor Traylor to drop down to
ten, but if he did, they would strongly consider him.  He thinks Tractor 
may go as high as Toronto at four.  He mentioned that this is one of the 
most intriguing drafts he's ever been associated with, and that he's 
received calls from teams looking to trade up and down.
He thinks it's a good draft, and has been impressed with the players 
he's brought in for workouts.


He said there are twelve players in the draft, that form a core group of 
good players.  He said, he thinks that whomever they draft, will be able 
to start sometime next season for the C's...  The Slovenian center 
Nesterovic can't get out of his contract.... He thinks that Dirk 
Nowitzki will play for one of the Bologna teams in the Italian
league....  He would still draft Chauncy and Ron, if he had to do next 
year's draft over again.  He said on WEEI with Eddie and Dale, that
there are certain players on the Celtics that are unmovable such as
Pervis.  He also mentioned that he wasn't interested in having a second 
round draft choice this year; he's in to roster reduction.
That's all I can remember.  Also, that there isn't anyone available in 
this draft that's at the level of either Van Horn or Duncan.
