Holy cow.  Now imagine combining this with the scenario of trading for
Russel, as a way of getting Vin Baker (if his injury is not too serious).

Boston trades Kenny Anderson for Van Exel
Boston trades McCarty, Randy Brown and 1st round draft pick for Bryon Russel
Boston trades Bryon Russel and Potapenko for Vin Baker

That would be two upgrades and all we've really given up is a draft pick.
