Wallace, Celtics, NBA News

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

- Ernie Grunfield is now the favorite to be named Portland GM, says
Vecsey.

- Celtics have had Mario Austin, Troy Bell, Chris Thomas, and Marcus
Hatten
in for workouts so far. Perhaps more.....

- That ESPN Mock Draft seems to be the most accurate one so far.
Boris Diaw and Shortsianitis are Walker replacements and free him
up to be traded down the line. Not that I would draft Diaw, but Ainge
wants creator type players.  Of couse, it's a mock draft, and things
never quite work out that way....

- Pierce, Walker and McCarty were among a score of Boston-based
Pro athletes at Nomar Garciaparra's recent Charity Bowl-A-Thon.

- Chad Ford says the Celtics could draft an international player.
