San Francisco Chronicle had quotes from Mercers agent (Tevester Scott?)
who said the Celtics offered $30 million (first offer).  Mercer wanted at
least $60 million, according to Scott.  Interestingly, the Chronicle also
mentions that Derek Anderson was traded to the Clippers because the
Cleveland didn't think they could meet the demands of Master P.
