Peter, 

Sounds questionable to me. Why would Indiana care about Pervis' contract
for instance, which expires at the end of the year? It sounds like another
recycled rumor from the offseason, to try to justify her ridiculous 
assertion that the Celtics were trying to "give Walker away". She doesn't
even have an idea who Antoine is supposed to be traded for.
