Four players who might make an interesting fit for the Celtics next
season:

--4. Derrick Coleman -- Making similar money to Kenny Anderson, with two
years remaining in his contract (just like Kenny). Both guys need a new
team... badly.

--3. Mitch Richmond -- Could thrive in his waning years as the third
scoring option in Boston - like a Bryant Stith with more offense. The
Celts have that $4.5 million exemption to throw around.

--2. Brevin Knight -- The Hawks want to dump him and acquire a bigger
point guard so Jason Terry doesn't get killed guarding 2-guards; Knight
also has 3 years and $15 million plus remaining on his contract. The
Celts could probably steal him for cap fodder (McCarty and Brown) plus
Phoenix's pick (#21 overall).

--1. Howard Eisley -- Also available this summer... with six years and
$36 million-plus left on his contract, he wouldn't cost much. A
Palacio/Eisley combo is workable, especially if they draft a scorer with
the other draft pick.
