Alright I am posting first what BskBall has posted on his site and second
what he sent to me!
Interesting part about a 3 way deal with GS, Orl, and Bos

>>>>07/23-CROSHERE A $9 MIL PLAYER- The Boston Celtics may have priced
themselves out of the Austin Croshere race. Filling Austin's head with ideas
that maybe he's worth more than the $5-6 million on the table with Indiana.
The Celtics have pursued Croshere with enough intent that they may actually
be willing to pay him much more than the $6 million from Indy. About $3
million more. But they would have to get a sign and trade deal done, and
Indiana says they won't do that. An informed guess, about what the C's could
offer, I would say Antoine Walker and Vitaly Potapenko (Both are Base Year
players) making a deal unlikely, although Indiana does have a $4.5 million
exception, which will expire this August from last years Antonio Davis
trade. The Pacers have talked with Boston several times in the past about
acquiring Walker, and throwing in an inside player with physical presence,
may be enough to get Indiana talking. But is Croshere worth it?<<<<<

Now the email

>>>>Josh-

Now, I am hearing that Boston is deadly interested in Croshere and are
prepared to offering him a max deal if he and his agent can get Indy to
the table.

As for Mercer, He worked out in Chicago this weekend, and there are
strong indications he'll sign there if Eddie Jones elects to pass...if
not the next option is a sign and trade through Orlando to Boston, who
would send Danny Forston to orlando, who might send him on to Golden
State.

Last on the list is new Jersey and their medical exception.

Wahad is not a likely player in Boston, reports about him turning down
an offer from denver appear to be false....

Wahad is on the list of Utah, and if he is going to sign for an
exception I expect him there.
