I went to the Celtics season ticket barbeque last Sunday at Healthpoint.
Couple of little ditties: 

GM Chris Wallace did a mock draft up to 10. He had the usual suspects going.
What was disturbing was that he is sure that DeMarr Johnson will be gone
before the Celts pick. He said the agent is not getting back to him which is
a sure sign he will not be available. 

Pitino said they are looking for a shooting 2-guard. Can you say Courtney
Alexander? Wallace said that his workout was hindered because of a bad back.
I'm telling you, I got the Alexander vibes. Wallace brought up contract
problems of the Greek guy (he actually is Russian). He said he is going for
the best talent. By the way, Ricky P. all but started salivating when asked
about Mark Jackson. Said he would be a great coach etc. Also, regarding Van
Horn deal.... RP did vehemently deny it. I realize that means crap but he
said it would take 8 players to make it work and "Walker (who was there) is
better."

Hmm, didn't you propose an 8-player deal??? One other thing, I asked Wallace
if he paid attention to the Monter mock draft as well as NBA Mock Draft.com
and he said he did review them. He asked me who they had the Celts taking.
When I mentioned the Greek guy (please no), he smiled.
