Knight has seen his better days. Might as well bring back Dana barros.
Earth to Danny we need low post help!

first of all, he's not that good.  Second of all,
he's a defensive liability.  Forget him.  You
guys underrate what Eric Williams gives to
the team, I think.  He's our best low-post player,
one of our best defenders, and probably the
most professional, hard-working player on the
team.  He is overpaid, and if we could roll his
saved salary into a better man, I'm all for it.
But there is no question in my mind that we
need him a lot more than a back-up point guard.

Put it this way:  until Kedrick Brown's ankle heals,
or Brandon Hunter shows he can defend NBA 3s,
Eric Williams is the Celtics' starting small forward,
or we're in trouble.
