You're right, we've all heard the stories of him missing practices, dogging
it on the court, etc. He's lazy, no doubt about it. Never plays hard.

> (and)"Celtic-ness"

You're right. By the way, is this the 15 win "Celtic-ness" or the 30 win
"Celtic-ness,"...or the consecutive years out of the playoff "Celtic-ness?
90's "Celtic-ness"....right?

You're right. I'm sure he'll be robbing banks soon. It's written all over him.

You're right. May as well keep putting off that next championship waiting
for the perfect player to come along and singlehandedly bring the team
there. No need for Hall of Fame caliber talent until that perfect year in
the future when everything will fall into place...someday...in the future.
No point in trying to make the playoffs first. Maybe go deep into the
playoffs? Nope. Better to just wait...just hit the big one...it'll
happen...soon.

>Shouldn't we go after a much younger free agent

Hopefully one that will just shut-up and not....wiggle.
