Vin Baker and the Boston Celtics are set to meet today to discuss the center's medical condition and his lack of production, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herard is reporting.

While Murphy suggests that the Celtics might be looking to gain cap relief by removing Baker from their books via a medical-related retirement, ESPN's Sportscenter reported that Baker will be given two weeks "suspension" from the team to help himself with some alcohol-related problems.

``Me and coach and the others are just going to talk about things,'' Baker said.

``I'm making a request,'' Baker said, while also declining to identify what that request would entail. ``I just want to talk (today), and then I'll let everyone know. As you know, this is a very tough time for me.''
