My wife's favorite current Celtics again leaves the team.  This is no good.
  I liked Strick, too.  his bad qualities never seemed to outweigh the 
good things he brought to the squad when he was on the court?  Ever 
remember not wanting Strick on the court?  I mean, you may have wanted 
Kenny back in, or Pierce to swing back to two guard, or whatever, but I 
never groaned once when Strick came into the game.  Great supporting cast 
kind of guy.  If I had my druthers, I'd keep him, and not Delk.

Pierce, especially, seems to be losing a few players he particularly liked 
playing with.  This may not be the soundest of business moves.  Sometimes,
 the best thing to do is take a short-term hit for the long-term gain.
