If you are talking Vescey sources on the Boston team, I guess it could be a
Kenny Anderson or someone even more peripheral and not travelling with the team.
In this case, I can't see Toine talking to a snake like Vescey, anymore that
he'd line up followup interviews with Peter May and Sam Smith. Who knows who
talked to Vescey, but it just doesn't add up. While we're at it, why not reopen
the solid case against Antoine being the second shooter in the JFK
assassination?

Speaking of Peter May, did you all get a chance to read his opinion in the
Sunday Globe that the Celtics ought to trade our first round draft  picks for
Howard Eisley. This one is worth saving for posterity. What a doosh. What a
cream stain.

Celtics should hammer out trade to rebuild
By Peter May, 4/15/2001
"(...)The Celtics should target a veteran point guard and go after him - hard -
with the draft picks and somebody on their roster. If it has to be Walker, so be
it. He and the picks might even bring two decent players. The other option is to
target a backup point guard, someone like Howard Eisley, and offer the picks and
a lesser player."
