Re: Celtics Trade Rumor Du Jour: Othella Harrington

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

OH: 13.1ppg, .506fg%, .792ft%, 6.9rpg, 1.2apg, .4spg, .7bpg
VP:    9.2ppg, .499fg%, .681ft%, 6.3rpg, 1.0apg, .5spg, .4bpg

What's not to like about Harrington's numbers?  And playing with Shareef,
Dickerson and Bibby, I doubt he was often the first option.
