I guess I wasn't as clear as I should have been.  I *DO* blame the   
Celtics for these signings.  That is the point I was trying to make.

>According to Tommie, Conlon is a keeper.  Maybe he means Keeper of the   
bench.

I really wouldn't mind keeping Conlon, assuming that he remains cheap.   
 He may be awkward as hell, but he seems to have some real basketball   
smarts (although his body doesn't always cooperate!).  Not a bad player   
to have way down at the end of your bench in case of injuries . . . But,   
I imagine he will not be returning.  Who knows?
