Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Celtics Baker suspended indefinitely Forward again found to be in noncompliance By Shira Springer, Globe Staff, 1/24/2004 The Celtics yesterday suspended Vin Baker indefinitely for noncompliance with his treatment program, likely moving the team one step closer to the termination of the power forward's contract. ADVERTISEMENT A league doctor jointly selected by Baker and the Celtics notified the team of another incident of noncompliance yesterday. The current suspension resulted from a positive test for alcohol. On Jan. 6, Baker was fined and suspended for three games for his failure of multiple alcohol tests. In accordance with an agreement reached by Baker and the Celtics last summer, the third incident of noncompliance results in an automatic suspension for an indefinite period, effective immediately. If the suspension reaches the 10-game mark, which would happen when Boston plays at Chicago Feb. 12 right before the All-Star break, Celtics officials can move to terminate the remainder of Baker's contract, worth approximately $35 million over 2 1/2 years. Coach Jim O'Brien said he would proceed as if Baker will not return for the remainder of the season. "I'm very disappointed that things have not worked out for Vin," said O'Brien. "It's just a tragic turn of events. It's just a difficult disease to deal with and right now it would appear that he's not winning that battle."

Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Celtics CELTICS NOTEBOOK Baker back in mix after suspension By Shira Springer, Globe Staff, 1/12/2004 HOUSTON The three-game suspension imposed on Vin Baker officially ended last night. But Baker won't take the court until shootaround tomorrow in preparation for the Bucks game that night. ADVERTISEMENT Director of basketball operations Danny Ainge notified coach Jim O'Brien yesterday that Baker would meet the team in Milwaukee. Shootaround at the Bradley Center probably also will be the first time O'Brien talks with Baker since the suspension. In all likelihood, Baker will not play tomorrow night. Since his suspension, Baker also has missed two practices and three shootarounds. "I guess the first chance I'll get to see him on the court will be at shootaround in Milwaukee," said O'Brien. "I really don't have any plan to utilize him in Milwaukee. We've been practicing and playing and we'll just have to let him get back into the scheme of things. "I don't have any choice [but to play it by ear]. It's pretty much wait and see, see how Vin is performing in practice and the time that he gets in games. If he earns a lot of playing time, he's going to get it." Needless to say, Baker will have to show vast overall improvement before he earns significant minutes. As Baker suffered through a relapse of alcoholism, his playing time and productivity decreased dramatically. "It wasn't just defense," said O'Brien. "You've got to post. You've got to score. You've got to make shots. You've got to run the court. You've got to play basketball."

Michael gets tainted, and the Wizards lose their No. 1 draw.” During his time at the Wizards, they became the most popular road draw and made $30 million, selling out every game.

How the mighty Celtics and Knicks have fallen Like a couple of aging Hollywood movie stars, their statuses have dwindled from heartthrob headliner to casual afterthought. Sure, they're still hungry, still fighting for top billing, but in reality they're lucky just to get those common supporting roles. Only this ain't Hollywoodthis is the NBA's Atlantic Division. In case you weren't paying close attention to last year's NBA playoffs, you may have missed the ever-so-brief cameo appearances of the once-great Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, who combined for a grand total of zero victories in their best-of-seven, first-round losses. The two former league heavyweightswho totaled a 75-89 regular-season record and were perhaps the two most dreadful playoff teams of my lifetimemade quiet entrances into the playoff pool and even quieter exits. Nobody blinked an eye, nobody was surprised, and nobody outside of Boston and New York particularly cared. Where greatness was once expected, mediocrity is now the normand from the way things have gone in recent years and the way things are looking, it'll be a good long while before the Knicks and Celts are back on top again. How did it come to this? How did two of the most storied franchises in NBA historyin fact, the only two charter members of the NBA still in their original citiesslip to such mediocrity? Maybe it was bound to happenthe law of averages and all that jazz. Or maybe it's the compulsive overspending, the roster mismanagement, the rapid-fire hirings and firings, the ill-advised trades that hamstring the salary cap . . . or, in short, complete front-office ineptitude.

Did Isiah Thomas choose Vin Baker over "Shaq Stopper" Erick Dampier? Actually no, but it appears he chose to bring in Jamal Crawford over the free agent center from Golden State. Today the NY Post picked up on a story that ESPN.com first reported last week . It appears that Isiah will use most of his available $4.9 Mid Level Exception (MLE) to sign Baker, the embattled power forward with a history of alcoholism. Gothamist loves how a certified alcoholic, especially one that has proven again and again that his addiction hurts his ability to perform on the hardwood, can lock up millions of dollars in guaranteed money in today's NBA climate. This decision by Isiah is curious, considering that Dampier has said that he would consider taking a one year offer for the Knicks MLE if he had too. However, Baker is represented by Aaron Goodwin, who also happens to rep Jamal Crawford who joined the Knicks last week . Most likely Isiah gave his word that if the Crawford deal, which Goodwin help facilitate, went down, he would also take care of Baker. Now the only way that Dampier is coming to New York is via a sign and trade with Golden State, something the Warriors are not in favor of, given the dearth of cap friendly contracts on the Knicks roster.

With friends, family and a full crowd on hand, this was the culmination of four years of hard work for Baker. Vin Baker transformed basketball at the University of Hartford. He entered the school as a scrawny 200 pound 6'11" kid and left as Hartford's most prolific scorer. In his senior season, Baker averaged 28.3 points for the Hawks, which lead to his selection as the eighth pick in the NBA draft. While Baker's basketball ability always impressed, it was his kindness and good heart that amazed those who were close to him. In a Feb. 6 Associated Press article by Howard Ulman, Hartford's Athletic Director Pat Meiser-McKnett said, "I've been in college athletics 30 years, and he is just the best person." Since his days at the University of Hartford, Baker has been on a roller coaster ride through the NBA.
