Re: WEEI C's Trade Rumor

[DJessen33@aol.com]

Jason Terry and T. Langdon were taken 10 and 11 last year. Are these the kind 
of players you are looking for?...Also, you miss the point of my question. 
Since potential free agents are under contract until July 1, why couldn't 
they be traded up to that point?...

<< No, no, no. The trading of lottery picks for average players
 must stop. You don't win anything that way. If they want to
 put together a super package of draft picks and players to 
 secure an impact player, that I have no problem with. But
 these penny ante acquisitions will see the Celtics continue
 to flounder in mediocrity.
 
 As far as your question goes, it would naturally have to be culminated 
 after August 1, when free agents can be signed.
