Trade Rumor

[Bob Miller <bob@pointofchoice.com>]

As reported in the Globe:

There has been a lot of trade talk, including an interesting one yesterday
that had the Lakers offering Nick Van Exel to Boston, even up, for Travis
Knight. LA's thinking was that it could dump the unwanted Van Exel as well
as reclaim Knight's faltering career. The Celtics would be rid of Knight's
contract and could either reroute Van Exel or keep him; he has only one
year left on his contract. Boston apparently did not want to do the deal.
