I'm a retired player and unpredictable player, known in America for my funny name and decent performances on lousy teams. In Europe I'm a 5 time champion in various leagues, an Olympic silver medalist, and now a team president for the first pro club I played for. I once left a pro team because I beat up the president's son.

In 1998 the Celtics traded a player and 2 2nd rounders to the Knicks for 4 players - 1 of which I'm petty certain never played for the C's.

Who is the player the Celts traded?
Who are the 4 players they got in return?


Bruno Sundov is one?

Is this Radja?

I feel like Waltah is a part of Redz' trade. Foggy on the rest of the guys.

Is this the Chris Mills trade? The only reason I think it might be is because my gym teacher in 8th grade played with him in college.

Yes, Mills is the guy the C's traded (never played a minute for them).
Yup

Only one of the players the Celts received stuck around for any significant amount of time.
Yup
