Peter Vecsey reports the Pacers were close to landing Hakeem Olajuwon by

Houston. Hakeem would go to Indy in a sign-and-trade for around $7 mil.
Another attempt to downsize the Celtics thwarted. Too bad... we really could
have used another 3-point shooting forward.

How much do you want to bet that the Celtics will break their own
3-pointers-attempted record this season and lead the league in that category
again, with or without Croshere?

Actually, I like Croshere's game, and think he's better than he showed last
year (but not as good as he looked in the Finals against the Lakers).

I think he's one of the poster boys for the expiring-contract-wonder syndrome. 
I think we need Vitaly (as limited as he is) more than we do Croshere.
