<< * KEY ADDITIONS: Underrated forward-center Danny Fortson was a nice pickup 
from Denver in the Ron Mercer trade, and swingman Calbert Cheaney is a 
capable scorer in the right situation. Even so, the Celtics needed to do a 
lot more in the
off-season if they hope to break out of their recent free fall.
 
* KEY SUBTRACTIONS: Trading Mercer to the Nuggets because the Celtics didn't 
want to meet his asking price remains something of a head-scratcher.  
Mercer's not a superstar, but Pitino needs to keep as many talented pieces in 
place as possible. You get the feeling the Celtics aren't as dedicated to 
winning as they once were. >>

How the hell can this writer first say that adding Fortson was a "nice 
pickup" and then turn around and call the deal a "head-scratcher".  Maybe he 
has lice.  
Another thing - l only wish we were trying to breakout of a recent free fall!

I can't wait until we prove all these morons wrong!
