RE: Peter May: Mashburn May Be Headed To The Celtics

it has been in the L.A. papers the last two days. The more I think it 
actually doesn't sound bad.  I am not sure Battie can be a true 5 in the 
league, but is very athletic and was a good rebounder in college, and maybe 
closer than anyone we have.  And his contract is shorter than Knight's. 
 They also discussed West considering Campbell & Eddie Jones to Chicago for 
a re-signed Pippen.
