Fortson on block

["Thomas Murphy" <tfmiii@worldnet.att.net>]

Zoinks!! 

Now this from Peter May (AKA Mr. Sunshine):

SNIP>>This should not come as any great shocker, but the Celtics are making
it known, loud and clear according to one league source, that Danny Fortson
is available. It makes sense for at least three reasons. Fortson hasn't
made anyone forget Ron Mercer, his contract is up at the end of the year
and there's no telling how much it might take to re-sign him. He might be
appealing to a team looking to clear additional cap room. The Celtics have
no shot of doing that anytime soon. Also available for the same reason:
Pervis Ellison... <<

Alex, you deserve all the credit in the world for calling the original
trade for Fortson, but if this is accurate then I'm afraid your sanguine
diagnosis of the Fortson situation is dead wrong. I keep hoping time will
prove you right again.
