Re: Re[2]: Celtics to chase Rick back

["Greg Odegaard" <gmodegaa@longvred.rmc.com>]

Jerry Buss can want to give Rick all he wants, but unless the Fakers are
under the cap, which they won't be ever again, with Clank and his merry
bunch, they can only offer Rick Fox the 20% increase, or 1.2MM.  Rick may
take this to continue his path to the Championship, or to stay close to
Hollywood.  Anyway it is a nice thought, but with our need for a center,
his possible hard feelings for the C's and all, he likely won't be coming
back to Boston as a Celtic in this lifetime.
