RE: Celtics benefit from three-way deal

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

How about Anderson to the Clippers for their #1 pick ?  They do not need 
any more rookies, and Elgin has a terrible track record.  They might go for 
this.  Imagine landing two out of Baron Davis,  Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, 
Tim James, Steve Francis, Richard Hamilton.

Without a big man we will still have problems on the inside against the 
upper echelon team.

Baron Davis is a great point, and the addition of him with Mercer, Pierce & 
Walker would be outrageous.

We don't need Camby another undersized big man, Battie is basically a 
clone.
