.......Sebastian Telfair and players? Who else? Shit.
Check my edit. It's LaFrentz for Ratliff.
Have fun with his contract

While this entire deal has not yet been confirmed, it seems to make more sense if these players are involved. Raef has four more years on a contract that will pay him $10.9 million, $11.8 million, and $12.7 million each of the next three years.
Meanwhile, Ratliff will make $11.6 million each of the next two years. So I guess this gets the Celtics out from under a big contract. Sort of.
