If Fotson and/or Battie were resigned we'd still be over it - wouldn't we?
 - Pitino needs to make the playoffs....adding a ball hog probably not the 
answer and then who plays point?  Barros & Turner?
 - Pitino needs to dump Anderson's contract....yes but with the cap 
restraints what then?
 - He'll make the Celtics a better team....more dangerous yes? (especially in 
a dark alley) but better?  I'm not sure.  I can see a very volatile chemistry 
ready to explode.
 - And there's always someone else willing to trade for him....maybe not 
after more suspensions and another assault on a coach.  Unless it's for cap 
reasons during the season and then it would negate most of your other reasons.

I don't want anything to do with this self-absorbed problem child.  Why do 
you think the Knicks want to deal him after last year's playoff run?  I'd 
give them Kenny for Childs and a healthy Dudley because that would at least 
give us someone else to play the point and to back up at center.  Trading 
Kenny for nothing would only help Gaston's budget.  We'd really have to hope 
Turner could be the steal of the draft (for the past decade!).
