Re: Billups makes old team wonder

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is the Celtics don't have the luxury of 5-6 years to develop
players. We have about 5 players worth being on a team, of which 3 probably
would not be starters on most other playoff teams. If we were 7 deep we
could coddle rookies and wait for development. My impression of Billups was
awful, he had trouble dribbling from the start.
