I have no idea.  :>)  I realize it's not a big financial risk--my question 
is does the team need the headache?  Is it a necessary gamble?  Ainge has 
been drawing to an inside straight and pushing the table to the limit.  I 
know he wants to shake up the team, but I think it might be wiser to let 
this settle down, especially given the timing.  The team already has to 
deal with getting Welsch and Raef (though Raef's been fitting in well so 
far) getting in tune with the Celtics' game plan.  Adding three more guys 
who AREN'T from a running team like the Mavs is possibly asking for trouble.

Still, it's not my money, and I'm just kibitzing while the players are 
making their wagers.  But I'd hate to see Danny push this too far too fast.
