Re: Let Me Get This Straight

Exactly, the trade's a no-brainer.  So why didn't the Celtics make it?
Holley just said on WEEI that the deal was offered.  The only way,
the Celtics turning down the deal makes sense, is if they have something 
better going down.  If not, then it's another Pitino/Wallace 
blunder.
