Come on you can't belive that..last season was a piece of crap. Most of us
rooted for the team to loose so that we could land a high draft pick.

We may think that Williams has great potential and all that jazz, but
clearly
coaches and managers don't. It is ridiculous to presume that RP & Wallace
did not try hard enough to get a better deal.

RP's job is to get the best deal that he can get for the Boston Celtics and
he is
trying to do just that.  If Antoine doesn't sign a long term contract with
the celtics
 he will be traded for somebody who will, it is as simple as that. Look at
Garnett
 for instance after all the courting by the Timber Wolves, he is showing
them the
middle of a doughnut.
