Hi Josh, and everyone else,

I believe the Celtics traded his rights to the Bucks in exchange for the
future HOF ;) Ala Abdelnaby. Hopefully someone else can back me up on this.
It was more than a couple of years ago though, more like the early 90's. I
do remember he had a major chip on his shoulder and forced the C's into
trading him. He's bounced around several teams over the first few years of
his career before carving this little niche for himself. I also remember him
being booed for a long time whenever he visited Boston because of the draft
situation.

Subject: Jon Barry???


I read in the NY Post that the Celtics are looking at Jon Barry with their
2million dollar exception.

The Celtics drafted him a couple of years ago with their first round pick,
but he didn't want to sign with the team.  His father Rick Barry didn't want
him to sign either.  I don't remember if the Celtics traded him or just let
him go.

If that's the case, why would he come to Boston now?

Would he even be a good fit?

Is he a decent player???
