I agree entirely! This guy can flat out play. Now if we can sign Theo   
Ratliff and if he is not available, Matt Geiger, we will have a fantastic   
lineup. We definitely need some height and beef. I believe Paul Pierce   
will be a marquee player one day and the teams that drafted Bibby (star   
potential but is still only a point guard, remember Chicago has no point   
guard but has Pippen a point forward) and Lafraentz (solid player but no   
superstar) will regret not taking Pierce, Jamison, Carter et al.

A freakish day for the celts!

 When I was sitting at home watching the draft like everyone I had no   
clue
of what was going to happen.  And when the idiot Kings took Williams over
Hughs and Pierce I almost died.
 How on earth did the best player of this years draft fall to 10, he   
almost
came out as a freshman and would have been picked top 5.  It doesn't make
up for losing out on Duncan but I think the lepracan was present on this
one.  The Celtics are definitly keeping Walker and they will be at least   
a
sixth seed in the play-offs next season.

pg - Kenny Anderson
sg - Ron Mercer
sf - Paul Pierce
pf - Antione Walker
 c - Travis Knight
bench
pg - Dana Barros
s/pf - Walter McCartey
pf - Andrew DeClerq
sf - Bruce Bowen
pg - Tyus Edney
sg - Greg Minor

The bench needs a little work and signing a big man is almost nessesary.   
 I
would take the trade Knight for Van Exel that would get rid of Knight's
huge contract and maybe sign another big man, that actually has talent.
