RE: Jamal Mashburn trade

I  agree. IMO Mashburn's career a been somewhat of a disappointment due =
to the injuries.  Dallas finally had to let him go as he was not =
producing as he should have.  I have not been overly impressed by his =
play in Miami either.  The Celtics need a real point & a big man, maybe =
the improved play of Ellison, Minor, Brown and Barros will make them =
more marketable.  I would love to get Jayson Williams just to take some =
of the load off Antoine inside.  Vitaly Potapenko could help inside =
also. Who knows what Rogers will do if he ever plays.
