fellowship of the miserable

[Alex Wang <awang@mit.edu>]

Not landing Michael Stewart is somewhat disappointing. But come on,
the guy wasn't THAT great, which is the reason he is affordable in 
this crazy market for centers. If the Celtics are really as bad as 
feared this year, they'll have a chance at drafting a better center 
than Stewart in the first round next year. Players like Dampier and 
Ilgauskas were each taken in the middle-to-late first round. 

I have a feeling that the Celtics will be significantly better than
last year, just from having more experience and adding a healthy 
Anderson and Pierce. If either Popeye or Battie is actually capable of 
playing center better than DeClercq, they'll be in good shape.

I can see why Pitino calls sports fans the fellowship of the miserable
because it seems many of us are lamenting potential trades that may 
not have a shred of truth to them. Let's wait for Pitino to actually
make a dumb trade before we castigate him.
