I imagine Boston will need to already be a 45+ win team for Duncan to 
consider joining our club, once Dave Robinson retires and the Spurs 
decline. I'm day dreaming big time here, but if Boston can successfully 
develop great wing players in Paul, Joe, Joe, Kedrick and Antoine, we'd 
almost resemble Red Auerbach's Celts team just prior to the Bill Russell 
draft (with Ramsey, Cousy, Sharmin etc.)

Would that type of team be attractive to a quality free agent big man? Cap 
room won't be an issue if we let McCarty, Eric Williams clear the cap with 
Kenny.

Of course if Joe Johnson and Kedrick Brown's raw ability roughly translates 
by 2003 into the second coming of McGrady and Vince Carter, we'll be far 
too busy kicking the crap out of everyone's butts to worry about signing a 
dominant center. ;-)

I know I can easily be accused of wearing green-colored glasses when it 
comes to the Celtics organization, but please bear in mind that I predicted 
33 wins last year (because of coaching) and was more critical of the Moiso 
pick than anyone out there. Had Pitinochio not left, we were actually on 
pace before midseason to win even fewer than 33 games.
