"as far as we can go"

[Peter Delevett <pdelevett@xxxxxxxxx>]

To those who insist trading Walker is the only way for
the Celtics to get better, let's remember what
happened when Philly made that same decision about
Charles Barkley. It took them a decade to recover.
Houston, on the other hand, resisted the urge to trade
Hakeem Olajuwon and eventually won two championships. 

Not comparing Antoine to either HOFer, but Michael
Jordan and Scotty Pipper whiffed a lot of times before
they finally broke out against Detroit. There aren't
many teams with two All-Stars anymore. And teams that
win titles tend to be teams that have maintained the
same core for a number of years. 

Draft the right PG (I hope Ainge picked up on
Phoenix's drafting smarts) and woo a top FA PF to take
the mid-level exemption, and the C's have as good a
chance as anybody to get back to the conference finals
and win.
