Vecsey Says Pitino Ready To Bolt

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

Just lose Baby. And Pitino will be gone sooner, than later.
If you can get rid of him, before the trading deadline,
the Celtics future will be that much safer....

Thanks to BSG for mentioning it.

RICK Pitino continues to tell friends there's a "90 percent chance" he
intends to bolt the Celtics (leaving $22 million in Paul Gaston's trust
fund) if his players' defensive effort fails to improve.
While he publicly insists his two-week old message, "Either leave
everything on the floor or I'm leaving," was nothing more than a tired
old motivational refrain, those close to him claim to know better.

Barring a sudden surge of boundless fervor by infamous stragglers, the
game plan is supposedly set for January (when the road games start to
pile up) or at season's end, when the incandescent college vacancy sign
is flashing non-stop.

Clearly, the Barren of Boston isn't the only one who means business.

This just in: David Falk has announced, if his Celtic clients (Antoine
Walker, Vitaly Potapenko, Kenny Anderson and Walter McCarty) don't start
listening to his Celtic accomplice, his company (SFX) threatens to stop
taking a cut of their pay.
