   	Watching FSNE tonight and an interview with Mike Gorman relative  
to our needs for a PG and a Big. Mike was asked if he thought Telfair  
would ever be a star PG in the NBA. Gorman said absolutely not. He  
then sheepishly added that Telfair remains #2 back-up to Rondo on the  
Celtic's roster. When pressed further Mike explained why Telfair  
would never become an NBA success story. Mike said that Telfair has  
always been a "shoot-first" PG and apparently is not interested in  
ever changing.

The "bombshell" question came later in discussing Bigs that the  
Celtic's have interest in. Camby was mentioned and there is interest  
as well as concern about the steep asking price for a player that has  
historically never played more than 60 games/year and that he is an  
injury-prone player (no surprise in these comments).

When Mike was informed that Darko had been released and whether the  
Celtic's had any interest...Mike looked like the "cat had been let  
out of the bag"...meaning that the Celtic's have a very strong  
interest in Darko. Based on Mike's endorsement of Darko's talents it  
seemed like he was justifying the Celtic's interest. In fact when  
asked directly if the Celtic's had a real interest in Darko Mike  
responded..."yes, I think the Celtic's are interested in Darko.. 
(pause)..in fact I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE INTEREST...in fact there is  
more truth to this rumor than there was to the Joe Smith rumor"...
