Re: Peter May on Pau Gasol; Mark Cofman Advocates A Trade

[Ellie Cutler <ellie@oreilly.com>]

All well and good, but who could possibly be the "veteran help" they 
need?  The writers all sound like there's a cherry tree full of them, but I 
can't think of an available player who would a) want to come to Boston, b) 
be a good influence, c) not require Pierce or Walker, and d) that their 
team would take Anderson off our hands to boot.  Maybe I'm missing 
something here, but who are these ultra-desirable veterans?  Well I guess 
Terrell Brandon, as the wolves need draft picks, but who wants him when 
they could really line up their ducks with a kid like Tinsley?   And if 
they could get Gasol, it would be like having 2 picks next year (or 
whenever he becomes available).
