RE: Globe: Celts want Chris Carr

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Chris Carr. Ugh. Just another stiff to add to the growing collection who
occupy the C's bench. Don't we have enough bad swingmen in Eric Williams,
Calbert Cheaney and Walter McCarty (I'm not counting the second-half
Griffin, because I'm hoping he can return to his early-season form)? If you
took the best qualities of Williams, Cheaney, McCarty and Carr and rolled
them together into one player, you still wouldn't have much. And the key to
getting him is making it a long-term contract? Please, no.

The guy averaged 9 points on 40 percent shooting for the Bulls? And he's
supposed to provide scoring when Pierce gets his annual month-long ankle
sprain? Am I missing something here?

And the worst part of this news is it sounds like the move of a team not
really planning on doing anything else. It has that "filling in the around
the edges" feel to it. I hope that's not the case. It can't be, can it?
