RE: Let be objective....now

That's because those teams have the players to be effective halfcourt
squads.  The young Celtics need to run to win.  They can't run with
Kenny.  Hence he needs to be another team.  Capice?  Kenny is skilled,
and has a lot to offer some squad looking for a veteran scoring point
guard.  But his defense is awful and he's not a leader.  So while he's good
and there's a place for him on a good halfcourt team, he's not the guy to 
lead this team.
