Re: Rookie Watch and Players The Celtics Should Target In Trades
It would be great if we could get Kendall Gill for either McCarty, Williams,
or possibly both. I've always liked his play and he always is one of the
league leaders in steals.
He's always played well and I think he's a perfect fit for this team, if we
somehow could fit him into the lineup.
