So what what do you do you hear anything on this story do you have any --

I've been not been Perez five already just that those those are stupid. Alone. And that more Ito will come to -- Bush that he -- for a long term Nazis and ending --

Well a long time we're talking about a month and have two months.

And you know what I mean.

market. Which has said today a suspension is very likely why would the Celtics suspend him.

Because -- you know its its its. This has been seen in -- ready to go lower me in to have this to. To you know turned down maybe bring it into some other big man. Short suit were big so they just cut their parts of the captive in Sweden.

Yeah yeah and I'm sure they don't wanna and and so -- this is a non basketball injury and it is -- war and so they're gonna go down hard on -- men and not tell you what I mean. -- debut album and matches people you'll meet in this world and it's very very. Shocking to me you know at times things can happen it may not be the most. It'll mature thing in the world as we saw right here but. This was really surprised this is really really surprised and -- I just say it may be way to go into our deep choked a mountain these. See what happens well what was this -- threaten him like there's. You know oh lead in you know make any threats to it was girlfriend and -- thing which which causes situation but it. In front sir when there's an interesting story behind it but I heard it was a stupid story.

While. The Celtics yesterday. You could tell doc. If he knew exactly what was happening when he met with the median sale I don't know I don't know I'm not sure how it happened obviously the --

Ready for the show and Williams are very.

I was gonna say that's about it puts the mark don't you think that this is amended is a step back. But with the addition of Rasheed Wallace Rasheed is is actually. Insurance for Kevin Garnett the -- the presents a big baby on the roster was basically double insurance for Garnett.

Well it did defendant makes -- is. You know how many minister what -- playwright. You know it can't ministers went up -- minutes just went up they had all set up world going to be here for big rotation. With you know with Burton and I was to a baby and now those other three guys. -- me -- the two of them don't know how much you expect showed Williams do.

Mark you wrote about the Rajon Rondo situation on Yahoo! in your opinion is this just. Normal agent negotiating posturing or they serious he's not a --

In -- army and mr. alarmingly people look at the free agent list. 2002 and I'm a -- points or. Yes LeBron into Wayne and brush. And partially dirt in the market looks through their. There than any point -- on a listen there's a lot of money to people around next summer. It's actually to -- pretty smart to wait. Because you know now these these these would be much more mature. -- going to be a better player hit jumpers did better. You know I see it as good as he's playing now by the end of this season he's even going to be more valuable now a senior members subjects they have restricted. But -- worry about that for Boston is never know me seems to be very very creative are our number one out in Denver. Andre Miller was restricted free agent though he was with the clippers. But the clippers gave them Leo the very Amanda -- it was very distinct contract. Where twenty million dollars of that was pro rated. 120 million dollars was -- whom in the middle of training campus first need -- So basically like October 15 he got a twenty million dollar check. So what expenses. While those Celtics still are. Have the restricted card you're given a team a chance to be creative and find something. Beckett scared him away from doing with someone make it seems that you know but maybe we should work out assignment straight which is conducting. -- who have known restrict -- years ago Cinemark. So assists this is adding potentially somebody could be creative. And -- done but to me what this does that ensures that actually do it. The money that bill Duffy wants that it. You know representatives some by as the top five point guard industry. It is tough five point -- so. Bush you know now I think next summer and you'll have big game to make it make -- he could -- the way he wants to.

Can I ask you one very quick technical question concerning a suspension in the NBA. Are there advantages to the team if they suspend Glen Davis to replace him on the roster are there are there technical reasons why they would do what.

Well didn't he probably one thing that -- the Monta Ellis situation unless you're. When he had -- hoped the incident and they suspended. David C might only advantages they want that thing. That's about it but it. These there was talk that you know the warriors insurers were considering cutting. You know they could have cut him because -- initiative a moral. Cause.

Break. -- and as a free agent and get down a project now they wanted to just get out of such a photo. Because of -- then there might they might be able to do what I ought to be in on -- split up. I don't expect to -- decorum. Unless you like out sort of see make this short. The backs against the war on I have to bring somebody amber if he's not going to be up for this season but he bit different approach recoup their money. During the times or. We -- spend a -- being so. He's not around in their practice and is now by the scene is like go away. And which I think while he made a mistake guitar Monica that there will be very very devastating -- so.

And mark thanks rejected --

Thank goodness so -- very. Everybody bought the mission.
