Troy Murphy

[Jim Hill <jahill@leasingservice.com>]

The Celtics won a lot of championships in years past by picking guy's with
"team ego's" who "got it" very early in their career and always gave 110%
every time they stepped on the court.

But if Walker is going to play all but 5 minutes a game at PF is it worth
picking a PF when you have Battie, Moiso, McCarty already not playing PF?
