See now this is what confuses me about you Ray.   We made the playoffs for 2
straight years with what we had.  You along with others lobbied for changes
because we were not going to compete for a title with what we had.  Danny
goes out and trades Toine which was supposed to enable the team to run and
play the kind of hoops which Celtic fans have long yearned for.

Now, you want to make more changes even though it won't get us any closer to
a title.  And why?  And no point guard in return?

I like Jones and Butler but isn't Butler just returning from an injury?
