Trade

[galter@cstone.net (Gary Alter)]

Let's see now, the Warriors get a double double player, Utah get's a double double player, Dallas get's a starting point guard, The Celts get a player who has missed 60% of the season with injuries for the last few years and a player who makes Pervis look good and a late #1 pick which you know they won't keep because old RP and Thanks Dad won't want to pay 3 first round guaranteed contracts. Oh yeah, there's that 3 million dollars too. I think the other GM around the league start salivating when they think about negotiating with the Rickster. Getting nothing for Fortson would have been better, at least it would have gotten us closer to getting under the cap. It's time to take off the Pollyana glasses. "Gee, if Battie can be consistant, wow, if Walker gets in shape, if Pack can only get healthy, golly, if Kenny starts to pass more and I know if we try a little harder that that pressing defense will start to work and of course Rick has a blockbuster trade up his sleeve that will just turn things around." Until the Celtics have an ownership that is willing to put money where it belongs and a coach that knows how to coach in the NBA as it is today, the fans will be surviving on fantasy in hopes the Celts can again become champions.
