I think Herren is more or less gone at season's end. my reasoning is this:
- he is not getting even garbage time (not many since many of our games have been
tight)
- OB (me too) seemed to be more comfortable with Palacio at crunch time ( I think
and strongly feel that we should keep Palacio beyong this season)
- Herren seemed to be injury prone from his first 2 years in the league (and I
feel this is a true indicator of being injury free or injury prone THRU OUT a NBA
career - see Pervis Ellison, Bryan Stith)
- Roster spots unavailability next season with 3 no.1 picks + 10 contracts already
for 01/02 , unless there's some movemnet of bodies thru trades this summer


Me thinks that 
- Kenny Anderson will be moved this summer (if shawn kemp and juwon howard can be
moved, I don't see why a KA can't be done. And I really don't believe we need to
sacrifice 3 no.1s to make KA moveable - fire Wallace is he does that)
- Randy Brown, we'll have to keep, as nobody wants a old and injury prone guard
- Palacio will be signed the Griffin/Blount kind of money deal, unless some other
GM throws the 1.2mil exception at Milt, which I don't think celtic brass would
match.
- Celts is gonna use 1 of the no.1 picks to draft a PG

that leaves Herren gone.
