Re: Leave Kenny alone, he's gone....and the team WILL miss him

Ryan,  I agree with you that Anderson played better last year and before he
was hurt, the year before, then he has in quite a some time.

But to say he got crapped on by being traded?  I'll bet he knew he was going
to be traded this season because of his contract status.  It was just a
matter of when and to what team.  Just the way Stackhouse got traded and
Rogers got traded last year.  There isn't any way the Celtics could have let
his contract just expire without replacing it first and I don't see how he
was worth that k$nd of contract as much as I agree we may miss his PG skills
this season.
