Who Will Be Gone From The Celtics ?

["Way Of The Ray" <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

Looking at the roster and who may or may not
be back for next season:

Truth Pierce - Staying

Stackhouse Walker - Here likely. If Sacramento offers Webber in a
sign and trade, I think they'd move Walker. Otherwise,
it will be hard to pry Walker away from the loving arms
of Jim O'Brien.

Adios Stith - Gone. Unlikely to duplicate this past
season and the Celtics are trying to avoid the luxury tax.

Fecund Anderson - C's will keep him buried on the bench, until
he agrees to a buyout. Hopefully sooner than later.
Perhaps even this summer.

Bad Tattoos Herren - Training camp invite; could depart.

Flash Griffin - See Herren.

Enriquo Palacio - Cheap and plays the point, so he stays.

Sound of Music McCarty - One year left. Meaningless games
beget meaningless performances.

Vlad Potapenko - They could have dealt him before the deadline.
Could he go in a draft day trade? Sure, why not.

Bugs Bunny Blount  - Cheap and he plays the center position, so he stays.

Toni Toni Toni Battie - With Battie, Pot, and Blount all being backup
centers, it seems reasonable to deal one of them.

Overpriced Williams - Maybe they can bury him on the bench like Anderson.

Noshow Moiso - Makes a strong case that rookie contracts shouldn't be
guaranteed. "... almost comatose-like Jerome."  Howard David.

Lemon Carr - Gone. Makes a strong case that veteran's contracts shouldn't be
guaranteed.

Randy Brown - Gone Like The Wind. Ted Turner's favorite movie.
