Re: The Boston Celtics Mailing List Digest V6 #406

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

I'm not proposing any Kevin Willis trades (alright,
I proposed one deal, but that was the mild Battie
and a lottery-protected first for him, but hell, Toronto gave
up two number ones for Willis) - I'm just bringing up
the possibility that if Willis was in Boston to meet with the
Celtics, those are the type of deals Pitino might make to
acquire him or get rid of Walker. The Celtics situation with
Rick is imbued with a certain amount of deperation these days.
And desperation leads to poor decisions.

Personally, I will state once again, I'm on the Taylor/
Bradley bandwagon and I would like to see them trade for either or
both of them.

Also I think the people on this list have Battie higher rated than
Pitino does...
