Olowokandi-Blount swap being discussed By Shira Springer, Globe Staff | January 17, 2006 "AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- According to two league sources, a deal that would send Mark Blount to Minnesota or Memphis could be completed soon. One source described a deal as ''imminent." The most likely scenario would have the Celtics shipping Blount to Minnesota for 7-foot, 270-pound center Michael Olowokandi. The Celtics play the Timberwolves tomorrow night at the TD Banknorth Garden. It is less clear whom the Celtics would receive from the Grizzlies for Blount, if they went that route. Lorenzen Wright, a 6-11 center, might be one possibility because he is in the last year of his contract. Although the salary numbers work, one source said 6-8 Memphis forward Brian Cardinal is not a candidate." Another Great Idea by Ainge. :P
Ainge is clueless. He wants Pierce to be the steward for all of this youth. He's got a terrible coach. Here is a deal that makes the Celts better. 2006 1st round pick lottery protected LaFrentz and Pierce for KG and Trenton Hassel. Gotta get LaFrentz off the books. $33 million still owing after this year.
