When you have Walker, Pierce, and if you had Finly the last thing you would
need is a shooting point guard like a Stefan Marbury. Look at what a true
point like Jason Kidd has done in New Jersey. I would find it difficult to
believe taking Tinsley instead of Forte or even Brown would not have made us
a better team, although I have been very happy with Kenny Anderson's play so
far. It looks like the zone defense change has helped him.



 it's comments like " Gee you can't fault the Celts for not making ever pick
perfect" that have kept us in the cellar for the last decade.


These guys are paid to scout players and be able to pick some winners, over
the last 5 year I would say if we took a consensus of this list I bet we
would have had similar to better luck.

it reminds me of the stock market and the belief professional money managers
can beat the market regularly where the evidence shows very few actually do.
