Re: Derrick Coleman for Kenny Anderson

[kevin from singapore <bostonceltics17@yahoo.com>]

I saw Coleman's (non) performance during game 3 of the round one blowout of
Miami. DC was still acting like he's a ALL-STAR, expecting respect/calls from
the refs. He made a dirty play where he got into Mourning's back (kidney area),
thankfully Zo was not hurt.

Look it up the NBA dictionary, DC is the poster boy for underachieving (former
#1 pick), bad teamate (crash car nearly ending career of teamate Recasner), poor
chemistry (some say cancer), taking (gauranteed) money and running away.

Keeping Kenny is better than having DC on our bench. Kenny just got 2 years
left, let's not do such stupid trades.

anyway, didn't Red mentioned Kenny gonna come back next year better?
