["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good Marty Burns piece, including this tidbit:

Does new GM Danny Ainge really want Sprewell, another shooting guard,
alongside Paul Pierce?

Or are the Knicks trying to jack up the price tag on Spree, floating more
high-profile rumors so that other teams might be inclined to sweeten a future
deal?

We're not saying these teams or executives are doing anything illegal or
unethical. Only that NBA fans should be highly wary of rumors about free-agent
signings or blockbuster trades this time of year. Keep in mind, the only big
trade that happened after last week's draft (the Sam Cassell-for-Joe Smith
deal) wasn't foreseen on the rumor mill.
