Hardaway...don't think so but still want to believe it

[Brad Phelps <phelpsbj@gamma.hendrix.edu>]

	The day Penny Hardaway arrives in a Celtics uniform as a result of a trade 
with Chauncey Billups and Travis Knight will be the day that a midget jumps 
center against Shaquille O'Neal in the NBA Finals.  Give me a break.  It is 
illogical and any GM who would consider doing this should be fired and sent 
out of the NBA because it would be dumb.  This trade would make Kevin 
McHale for Joe Barry Carroll look like a fair swap.  However, being the 
intensely loyal Celtics fan that I am, I genuinely hope that such 
incompetence does exist and Hardaway does arrive in Boston.  I think that 
he and Walker might make a pretty good combo, don't you think?  Giving Rick 
Pitino Walker and Hardaway is like giving a pyromaniac a box of matches. 
You just don't give the best coach in the world two players of that 
quality.  Granted hardaway is a free agent but I would break the bank to 
sign he and Walker together.  Tell me pro sports GM's aren't stupid...no 
wait tell me that they are so this can happen. GO CELTS!!!!
