RE: dump Baker?

["Wright, Cecil" <Cecil.Wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No thanks.  Who would then be the backup Center?  And what happens if Battie
were to injure himself?  You all need to exercise some patience here as well
as realize you would be taking the ball out of Pierce and Walkers hands just
to get rid of Baker.  I kind of liked the steal he made last night.  Gave it
up to EWill who took it to the rack.  Was kinda hoping he would have got the
return pass for the layup.

Sign me on also. He would ad desperately needed athleticism, scoring and
defense. Baker is a fraud and the Celtic team of Mismanagement took this
bum. We have become a home for the homeless.
