Re: Kemp

I think that this would be a bad move for Boston.  Right now his salary is
small, but it would'nt be long before he would start his whining for more
money and threatening to sit out if he does'nt get it!  He is a great
player but even with the good players he was surrounded with in Seattle he
could not bring home the title.
