RE: Why not Marc Jackson?

["Ravi Singh" <kelticsfan@home.com>]

I think Jackson is looking for a 6 year deal, which Wallace is not too fond
to do at this point since a deal of this length would impinge on cap room
for 2003/2004.  A sign and trade involving V would be a possibility but I
think V's jump shooting skills may be a plus for this team given the new
defensive rules.

He's kind of a forgotten man, but this guy is available for something around
the mid-level exception. As a starter, in 35 games, he averaged 16.5 points
and 9.5 rebounds on 47 percent shooting (80 percent FT). He's 6-10 and 270
pounds. Again, he's an improvement and he's very available for a reasonable
price. This guy's no Todd MacCullough.

Check out these numbers from Dec. 9, when he moved into the lineup due to
injuries to others, to Feb. 15, his last game before going down with an
injury (I think he played with an injury for a while, but I couldn't confirm
that):
