They're Insane

That would be Cleveland and Detroit, who according to
ESPN Insider Chad Ford are now considering taking
Stephen Hunter as a top ten pick (Boy, there's lots
of people viewed as top ten picks these days).
That's good news for the Celtics, if the Pistons
or Cavs collectively get stupid.

The Bad News: P Gas may withdraw from the draft.
He wants to be selected as a high lottery pick,  which will
happen in next year's draft, says agent Rudoy, who
sees Gasol as a top three choice. To me it's
just posturing, trying to get his client chosen in a higher
slot, but we'll see by the 20th, which is the deadline for
draft withdrawal.

Ignore the ridiculous Walker to the Bulls trade rumor. Antoine's
not going anywhere until Pierce's contract is extended, and
dealing Walker now would have a negative effect on his friend
Pierce's desire to stay with the Celtics.  After he re-signs, that's
when you do a Walker deal.
