Hi JB, thanks for that article. I'd say the figure above 
alone makes the trade implausible. Gaston will veto it in 
a second. Wallace has to sell him on the idea of paying 
three players Baker, Pierce and Walker (in that order I 
think) the entire salary cap (or more) through the 2006 
season. How likely is that, I wonder?

Injury or underperformance by Baker puts all Celtics fans 
back in the dark ages again for years to come. Why can't 
they just pony up a few million to Rodney Rogers? No, 
Rogers isn't a savior, but at that price it seems like 
such a no brainer.

I think we're safe through the weekend on bad news, 
except for a likely official rejection (hopefully without 
burning bridges) from Rogers's agent on the initial 
offer. Boston would be prudent to wait a while before 
making a move of this magnitude. A lot can happen next 
week.
