Look further down the article (at denver) I found:

Pitino said the deal could happen but the Celtics are
still exploring their options.

"I know we have talked, and those parts have been
mentioned, and we certainly are interested in
Abdul-Wahad," Pitino said. "Obviously, we'd have to
come up with a first-round draft pick, and I guess a
player or so, but yeah, we are very interested in
Abdul-Wahad. But I want to first meet him and see what
he's like."


Hey, sounds like we need to come up with a player
(Barros? why not cheaney or macarthy  or minor?) + no.1
pick.

Or is this a bargaining ploy with Mercer?
