RE: New coach speculation?

I would like to see Jarvis coach the Celtics.

What if the Celtics could get both mateen cleaves and Mo Peterson?

Would you move Anderson , Fortson & Walker or Pierce for Odom, Derek
Anderson and the Clippers pick if it is #1 and take Kenyon Martin ?


Odom
Anderson
Pierce
Martin
VP

As far as coaches I agree their aren't a lot of good ones available.

Cowens (has he already been offered/taken the G/S job. ?)
Chuck Daly -Would he even consider
Larry Larry Larry ?
Chris Ford ?
John Calipari ?
John Thompson ?
Mike Jarvis ?
Coach K ?
Dickie V ?
