BSG trade speculation?

["Thomas Murphy" <tfmiii@worldnet.att.net>]

BSG is right the trade mentioned below would be kosher - any takers?

>>Salt Lake Tribune (1/15) -- Utah's Greg Ostertag is asking for a trade
after a sideline spat with Jerry Sloan last Saturday. Here's the perfect
chance for the Celts to dump Vitaly Potapenko - the salaries match for a
straight-up trade (as long as the Celts threw in Chris Carr and Adrian
Griffin) and Ostertag's contract expires in 2003, one year earlier than
Vitaly's deal. Both guys just need a change of scenery. I actually think
Ostertag could be competent in the Eastern Conference on the right team.<<
