  Why do you want Dikembe Mutombo? Many people say that Vitaly and
Danny are too slow to utilise Rick's coaching to the fullest. Yet, you
want a guy who is a step slower than those two. Why? Why? Why?

He has no offense. He doesn't do anything on defense until blocking a shot.
He has proven even with an All-Star quality backcourt that he cant carry
his team deep into the post season. He is ten years older than the one
of the few triple double threats in the NBA and you're willing to give
it up for him?

As for Rasheed Wallace - why?

What does Rasheed offer the Celtics that Antoine cannot provide? I like
Rasheed, but he is not as good as Antoine Walker. 

Brian Grant; we have Danny Fortson? Why do we need another guy who doesn't
do much in other categories than blocks. Brian Grant does not alter many
shots or block many for that matter (check his blocks stats).
