RE: The Boston Celtics Mailing List Digest V8 #51

The point about Kenny isn't what we gave up for him, since
Chauncey is no better than a lot of tough 6'2" combo guards.
But we took him on with a long-term princely salary that has
cost us the opportunity to go after free agents.  Chauncey is
still on rookie scale.
