RE: Pheonix trade

I have always liked White's body from his days at Georgetown. The swapping of draft picks makes sense. I agree that White would help out in rebounding but he doesn't fit the C's plans on Defense. The Celtics like an athletic big man who can bumb the curl on picks and play within Harter's zone. So from that stand point it doesn't make sense and I personally believe that Blount is better than White anyway.

I do want to float out the idea of using the mid level exception next year on carlos boozer. He might command more than that but he would be an interesting presense.

My suggestion would be a White + NY #1 Pick (which is rising) for Mills
+ McCarty + Dallas Pick

White can only help with our rebounding problems -- though I agree that
(a) the problem is more with Obie and his system and (b) that  adding a
player like White might take minutes from Hunter & Perkins, though
including McCarty takes that option away from Obrien.
