Fortson Gets Jurassic
According to the FAN 590 in Toronto the Boston Celtics have traded Danny
Fortson to the Toronto Raptors in return for point guard Alvin Williams and
Sean Marks. The first sign of the things to come was when Fortson's name
suddenly was missing from his locker. The Raptors add another wide body
to their formidable front line that already includes Antonio Davis, Charles
Oakley and Kevin Willis. It is very unclear what prompted the Celtics to
make
this move. Word around the league was that they were offered much better
packages, but as the Celtics are prone to do (see the Mercer trade) they went
with the quirky one. Williams just couldn't cut it at the point in Toronto
and Marks
played a grand total of five games this year. It will be interesting to
see how
the Celtics spin this. In effect they got Alvin Williams and Eric Williams
for Ron
Mercer. That's pretty shabby even by Pitino trade standards.
