Salary breakdown

["hironaka@xxxxxxxxx"<hironaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's a salary update at:
http://www.hoopshype.com/salaries/boston.htm

Even with Shammond's 2 million contract coming off the 
books next summer, the Celtics have 53 million in 
salaries with only 7 players under contract.

Something has to give. Our "magnificient seven" will have 
to perform exceptionally well, because the next five 
players will be CBA/NBDL calibre at best. 

The seven remaining rotation players are:

Walker
Battie
V Baker

Pierce
K Brown
E Will
Delk 

Bremer and Sundov have one year contracts.

Eric Williams might clear 3 million off the cap the 
following year, leaving six guys making 49.8 million.

Walker must re-sign the following offseason. 
Unfortunately, that happens a year before Baker clears 
the books. Its a very tough situation down the road, to 
say the least.

All we can hope is that the NBA makes monster revenues in 
the coming years, and that at least one team (the Knicks) 
retains enough interest in Baker to bail us out should 
the situation blow up.

Joe H.

p.s. Its interesting to read hints from Aldridge that 
Obie doesn't like the trade. This ultimately is all Chris 
Wallace. He's really gambling a lot on this. I hope he 
isn't still relying on old Blue Ribbon scouting reports 
from his basement to evaluate Vin Baker.
