One other positive is that Massachusetts has among the 
world's best medical centers to treat manic depressives. 
And you have AA and the Jenny Craig weight loss centers.

Obie will have to redesign the offense and defense, and 
the two gunners will have to buy into it. No more same 
same. I would call that the key to the season.

Would we have beaten Philly and Detroit without the 
services Kenny and Rodney, but with Vin Baker at center? 
Possibly. Look it still seems to me to be an even trade 
only if you exclude all the downside financial risks, and 
Vin's medical/alcohol issues-rumors.

The tone of this post may sound negative, but I love the 
Celts and can't wait for the season to start. There are 
going to be plenty of games I'm sure where we all will be 
shouting "I LOVE Vinnie". 

He's only 34 going to the final year of his contract. And 
he did bounce back a bit last year from what seemed like 
a Nasdaq death spiral end to his career.

Even 6-1 Delk and 6-1 Shammond for Joe Johnson and Joe 
Forte could turn out to be an even trade, although that 
seems like a bigger longshot. Delk looked uncomfortable 
last year, but I think he's going to be one of the big 
stories of this coming Celtics season. He can shoot and 
play defense, and he's a good team guy.

I really pray, for Chris Wallace's sake, that Joe Johnson 
and Forte suck this year.
