wow! get this. Kenny almost went

["Cynthia Ozersky" <cozersky@stny.rr.com>]

From Vescey's column:

 

Sources say the Celtics nearly accepted the Mavericks' invitation to assume Kenny Anderson's salary (two years to go after this at $17.5M) in return for season-ending contracts and Boston's three first-round picks. Who knows what would've happened had John (Why?) Brown not been consulted.

 

There's a reference only hardcore fans will get.  Would you have like to see this go through?  For my

money, first-round picks are too valuable to give up three of them in order to get rid of kenny.  And

who's to say that he might not be a valuable if overpaid reserve on next year's team.  Of if we use those

picks wisely, and the guys are attractive, maybe we can send out a good player with him to make the

deal more valuable.  Anyway, if they are worried about the luxury tax, they better get rid of Kenny, because

they have to sign Paul Pierce soon, and I suspect he's going to want a lot.
