If Fortson's only getting $2m offers, I'm sure Pitino will be able to beat 
that.  I don't think the Celtics being outbid for Danny is much of a 
concern.  If he goes, it will be because there's no role for him on the 
team, now the Griffin's addition has made Antoine's move to small forward 
unlikely.  I agree with Josh, that 'Toine can still play enough minutes 
there (and Griffin at 2) to give Danny significant minutes.

Now, I was remembering recently how Johnny Joe Paris Hironaka predicted that 
Fortson's addition could send the Bat Man heading to his cave to escape all 
the cans of whup ass being enflicted on him in practice.  Lo and behold, as 
soon as Fortson returns, Battie does a Copperfieldesque disappearing act.  
If the cause of that is the intimidation Danny's doling out at Healthpoint, 
Joe deserves the prediction of the year award.
