*** Depends on how strong is his desire to be a Celt.  Hes been claiming 
for years that he wants to go home and play for the Cs.  If he doesnt 
demand for the maximum salary allowed for a 7 year veteran, I think the 
Cs can squeeze him in.  We can also bring him in via the sign nd trade.  
Im not sure if the 6 month policy would still stand next season.  Whom 
to trade? Thats the Q!  Spare the Big 3 please.  Vin is also a poor free 
throw shooter, perfect! Would surely fit in nicely. *grin*

***For Vin?  I dont think Pitino would pull the trigger on this.

*** This season is an aberration (as we all know).  During Vin's tenure 
in Milwaukee, he was a pro thru and thru.  He wont be a negative 
influence on our young players.   Though I dont think that he is a 
strong presence in the locker room.  We would still need an Oakley type 
of veteran who could provide some leadership/ maturity to the guys.



Just my two bits!
