Subject: interesting, disturbing news from Peter May
In today's Globe, Peter May says, citing "league
sources," that the Celtics might
look to package up their picks to get Pau
Gasol. He mentions specifically Chicago
(4), Vancourver (6), and Golden State (5).
Personally, this bums me out. I don't know
how good Gasol is, but A) is he really better
than Joe Johnson AND Brendan Haywood
AND Joe Forte? Or Rodney White AND Loren
Woods AND whoever? May suggests
that Golden State also owns the 15th pick, so
maybe it woudn't be a three for one deal,
but here's my other though (B): if you are
picking that high, would you really take Pau
Gasol over Desagana Diop, Tyson Chandler, Rodney
White, Jason Richardson, etc. etc.?
There might even be a shot at Kwame Brown / Eddie Curry / Eddie Griffin.
So this rumor bothers me two ways.
The other news, also reported by Peter Vescey, is
that Charlotte is interested in trading
Derrick Coleman for Kenny Anderson.
Coleman's a bigger cancer, but he can still produce
on the court; they both make about the same
money. Also, I suspect that if Charlotte wants
the trade bad enough, they might be induced to
sweeten the deal with a player or pick.
what do you guys
think?
