Tinsley/Croshere for Kenny



I can't possibly be the first one who's seen this. Must be the usual list
delay. Anyway, here it is just in case you missed it. Discuss amongst
yourselves, I'm farklempt. 

Jul. 11 - The Pacers have talked with the Celtics about a trade that would send
Croshere and Jamaal Tinsley to the Celtics for Kenny Anderson. The Pacers like
Tinsley, but are concerned about his outside shooting and immaturity. Anderson
gives them a veteran backcourt leader and allows them to get Croshere off the
books. With only one year remaining on his contract, he isn't a big risk. In
the long run, the Pacers think they may have a keeper at point guard in last
year's second-round pick, Jamison Brewer. For the Celtics, they knew that they
were going to have to start their point guard search sooner or later and
Tinsley has tremendous upside. Adding Croshere would allow them to let Rodney
Rogers slip away and keep them out of the luxury tax. To make this deal work
financially, the trade couldn't happen until August 1st, when Croshere loses
his base-year status
