Gasol is in!

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Good news for the Celts. That ensures they get one of those "elite 10." They
probably would have anyway, because someone will surprise us, but Gasol
cinches it. There's certainly a chance he could slide all the way to 9,
where Detroit probably would follow through with that rumored bidding war
between Boston and Houston. The Celts supposedly will give up 11&21, the
Rockets 13&18-and the Pistons would decide between the offers. The Pistons
can do that because the guy they're looking at-maybe Haywood-probably would
be there at 11 (since it seems the Celts have no interest). The question is,
will the Bulls, Warriors or Grizzlies snatch up Gasol before he gets to that
point?

Anyway, it's good news. Got it from ESPN.com, by the way.
