Blount

["hironaka@xxxxxxxxx"<hironaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

First off, I think it is clear Obie is getting his way 
over Chris Wallace. It is not the best career move for 
Wallace to do this trade. 

Up to now, CW could hang his last shred of hope on 
having "discovered" Shammond, who together with Baker had 
made the Kenny trade at least statistically advantageous 
for Boston. That and some other "discoveries" formed the 
basis of his credibility.

But now he's trading Baker's best friend, and moving 
Baker to third string. Something's got to give. A bad 
situation just got worse.

As for CW, any Boston sportswriter with any clue will 
jump on the fact that if Obie had his way in the first 
place with the status quo, the Celtics could have saved 
spending around 55 million on a third string center with 
Blount. Its too easy a kill. 

Poor Chris Wallace. Its noble of him to fall on the 
sword. I hope his parents haven't already converted his 
basement office into a recreation den.

For those who are wondering, both Blount and Bryant will 
clear the cap this summer.

Bryant is 6-9 and played at Seton Hall in the mid-1980s. 
He has DNPs in 23 of the last 29 Denver games, and has 
not averaged more than 1.9 ppg in any of the past four 
seasons. He might go straight to the IR list. 

Bryant has 166 career starts and a career .500 FG%. I'm 
not sure what spin, if any, the BT will put on him.

Now Boston truly doesn't have a point guard, but I 
welcome back Blount. We've actually won with him in the 
starting lineup, and that's the bottom line for me.
