Looking more like Yao may be in draft

Now the Washington Post is reporting it. This is a link to the ESPN.com
story referring to the original article in the Post.

Now we're talking. Get Kwame Brown in there, and the Celts really are in
business. Not only does this push more talent to the Celts, it makes the
idea of a mega-deal to trade up even more interesting. You start talking
about Ming, Brown or Curry and I think the Celts really have to consider a
deal involving Pierce or Walker. It's a bold move (probably too bold for
Wallace and Co.), but a year from now there's a very real chance that any GM
in the league would laugh at the Celts for asking about one of these
physically gifted big men-they'd be considered untouchable. You don't trade
big for small, they say, but it happens around draft time.

Anyway, I don't see how this is anything but good news to the Celtics.
