- Besides the Celtics, there are actually two other clubs interested
in Walter McCarty. Names can't be revealed to protect the two
obvious insane GMs.

*  And you know this how?  You can't give the names of the teams, but I'll
believe you.  Yawn!

- Utah has interest in ex-Celtics PGs Strickland and Jones.

- Since Portland appears ready to sign Jeff Mcinnis, both Damon
Stoudamire
and Buckeroo Bonzi Wells are available for a trade. So, what could the
Celtics
whip up in terms of personnel that would interest Portland, and give the
C's
a decent starting backcourt and a damn good starting unit of Stoudamire,
Wells,
Pierce, Walker, and Baker? Well, except for Walker that is, and Baker
should be
the PF.

*  I thought Portland just traded for Antonio Daniels.

- With all the talk about Chick Hearn, let us not forget Johnny Most.
Johnny, who
was so stone deaf, that he would have the volume of the porno movies he
watched
in the hotels on the road, turned up to full volume, so that the heavy
breathing and
moans could be heard throughout entire hotel floors.

*  Does anyone else get a vision of Ray on his hands and knees outside a
hotel room trying to peer through Johnny's curtains?

- Don't rule out Larry Legend abandoning the Charlotte gig for stock
options and
being named head of Celtics basketball operations. It would depend on
how
soon the Celtics were put up for sale. And while Gaston wouldn't sell to
a
Bird led group, whatever new owner purchased the Celtics; having that
new
owner convince Bird to run the franchise, would be a top priority. Think
of the
public relations coup.

*  Okay, I won't rule it out.  But how can you state that a new owner,
whomever it would be, would want Larry to call the shots?  Do you have any
indicators on who that owner would be?
