No kidding...
The Celts could be in the lottery next year...

Its clear that Gaston must have been hanging around with Jeremy Jacobs...
Like I said before he is a cheap owner. Someone should start a letter writing 
campaign to "persuade" him to sell the team. 

The Celts are set to become the Clippers of the East...without the talent.

Pierce is a great player..and Walker is a good one but beyond that its 
looking a bit scary. Walker and Pierce must be a bit pissed...

To be frank I thought our bench was pretty weak last year...
Mcarty...Strickland...Rogers..Blount thats a pretty weak bunch save for 
Rogers...
but you can do worse, and amazingly we are going too!

We in replacing them for Bruno Bremer Songalia et al. We might be carrying 
five or six fringe NBA players next year. Heck if you add in Eric Williams 
and Forte..we might have CBA quality guys on our roster. Yikes. 

What we needed to do is keep Rogers and UPGRADE our bench. Get ourselves 
solid PF/C to back up Battie like say Brian Skinner and a back up for our 32 
year old point guard...like say Travis Best of Jeff Mcinnis

That we we could have a solid 8 man rotation...and thats assuming Brown 
starts
at small Forward.

Man its bleak..I mean you know Rogers could score 50 a game in the summer 
league...no problem. He easily scored 25 in the last game of the season..when 
Walker and Pierce were basically taking it off...
