DEE BROWN?  I liked Dee as a Celtic.  I really did.  But he had his
best season as a rookie and was never the same player after blowing
out his knee in the fall of '91.  

That said, can we PLEASE see ONE STINKIN' GAME THAT ACTUALLY COUNTS in
which Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer and Paul Pierce are all healthy and
play together before we talk about trading any or all of them? 
Perhaps this seems a little greedy and selfish on my part, but I'd
actually like to see them together for at least ONE WHOLE SEASON. 
Rembember, Mercer will be 23 in May, and the other two are even
younger.  Fer cryin' out loud!

Count me squarely in the "Keep Antoine", "Keep Pierce" and "Keep
Mercer" camps.  On the other hand, I wouldn't be adverse to trading
virtually anyone else on the squad if there's value to be had.
