You forgot Vince Carter.  Expect him to go before Jamison. No way the 
Celtics take any of the high school kids except Nowitski.


If we can't get the Kandiman what about Camby, Christie & #4 for Walker & # 
10 ?  We can add a Carter, Lafrentz, Hughes, Jamison, or Traylor or move 
the pick for an established veteran.
