Or possibly turn around and try to package him along with one of the 1st 
rounders before the deadline. Think about it: Blount, Baker, Mihm, Perkins, and 
LaFrentz with Hunter waiting in the weeds. Who needs Yogi?  His salary is 
manageable and he's only got one year left after this season. Now if Ainge could 
only swing a deal with the Knicks to wrestle unhappy/disgruntled Kurt Thomas away 
from them :-)

Or could Blount now be expendable?

At least the logjam at the "3" is no more. JJ will get regular minutes behind 
Pierce assuming Davis starts at the "2". Jiri can play either of the 
backcourt positions as well as the "3" in a pinch. Perkins now stays on the active 
roster absent an injury.
