Dickau Coming To BostonCeltics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed last night that the team has agreed in principle to a sign-and-trade deal with New Orleans that would land point guard Dan Dickau in Boston with a three-year contract worth an average of $2.5 million per year. Ainge said some details of the deal still must be negotiated, including what the Celtics will give to the Hornets. New Orleans will receive a trade exception in the process. Dickau, who is 6 feet, 190 pounds, visited Boston yesterday for a physical and chatted with members of the Celtics staff. ''He had a really great day," said Dickau's agent, Mark Bartelstein.

Dickau has played with several clubs already, but had a breakout season with the Hornets before they drafted Chris Paul.

Eddie Jones once was Jerry West's lottery pick in Los Angeles. When NBA training camps begin in October, Williams won't have far to travel and Jones will reunite with the man who gave him an NBA start. The Grizzlies completed their part in a five-team, 13 player deal Tuesday -- the largest trade in NBA history -- that will send Williams, James Posey and Andre Emmett to the Miami Heat for swingman Eddie Jones. The components of the five-team deal came together when Memphis chose to deal with Sacramento straight-up in a separate trade that sent Bonzi Wells there for Bobby Jackson and Greg Ostertag. Memphis, along with Utah, then worked with Miami, Boston and New Orleans on the larger deal. The breakdown is as follows: Memphis will receive Jones, who is scheduled to earn more than $30 million over the next two seasons, and Utah's Raul Lopez, who will not suit up for the Griz after having his contract bought out as a condition of the trade. Miami will get Williams, Posey, Emmett and Antoine Walker, who agreed to a six-year, $52 million sign-and-trade deal. Utah will receive Ostertag. New Orleans will get Utah's Kirk Snyder and Miami's Rasual Butler without losing players because it has money under the salary cap. Boston will receive Curtis Borchardt (Utah), Qyntel Woods (Miami -- and Carver High School in Memphis) and Miami's $1.9 million trade exception as well as the rights to the Heat's 2004 second-round pick Albert Miralles and two more future second-round picks. The Grizzlies also received a $4.9 million trade exception by convincing Utah to participate in the larger deal. That money can't be spent on a free agent but it could be used in a trade to acquire a player during a specific time frame.
