I totally agree with your point of view.  Today's NBA is going up in smoke, and
something needs to be done about it.       After hearing about the Spreewell
incident, I don't see how anyone could want him.  Anyone who puts their coach in a
head lock then punches them should be thrown out of the league for life.  P.J. must
have some feelings for Latrell, though, since he is not going to file criminal
charges against him.  If somebody did that to me, I would slap a law suit on him so
fast he wouldn't know what him.  I believe he has just been suspended for 10 games
and can't attend any of the practices.  
If the Celts do make a trade for him, that would be a big mistake.  I don't even
know if I could root for them any more if this happened.  I'm sure I would, but I
don't think I could cheer for him.  Even if he did help the Celtics win, I'd still
rather not have him.  I think I'd rather Boston lose then have him on the team.
As for Joe Smith, he should start worrying about his team then about getting traded.
 Maybe if he started doing this, they would start winning some games.  Some players
just have to big of egos to look at what's important.  They should worry about their
team and not worry about money.  If I had talent like they do, I'd worry about
developing my skills.  They get payed to play a game, and they still gripe.  Life's
just not fair.
