Here's the important thing to remember.  Regardless of what any of thought 
Danny COULD contribute, he actually was contributing very little.  If Alvin 
Williams is at all able to play point guard and use his size and athleticism 
to improve the Celtics' pressure defense, it will improve the team.  Hell, 
if he can play 12 minutes without getting undressed, he's an ugrade over the 
play Dana's been giving this year (as much as that pains me to say).  
Perhaps Paul M. is right about Danny, and he just isn't as good as we were 
hoping.

So, will this move help the team?  Probably.  You know, point guard play 
could be the biggest reason most of the bench look like bums so often.  Was 
this a good trade?  I don't even know how to begin to make that assessment 
anymore.  The reason everyone hates the trade is that they had this image of 
what the team would look like with the addition of a tough, defensive, 
rebounding animal, that just never materialized.  We won't know if that ever 
could have been until we see how Danny's career unfolds.  I do wish him 
luck, though.  He left Denver for the chance to play more, thought he would 
get it here, and did nothing but work hard and let his coach know how he 
felt.  you can't ask more than that.
