Cousy & Red

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Sure there is luck, and lots of it, involved with drafting and adding
players to a team, but some managements like recent past Celts front
offices couldn't even recognize luck. This Celtic team didn't have to get
as bad as it did, management didn't have a clue. Arch rival Lakers, never
had much of a problem keeping up.
