Subject: More From WEEI Ainge

Ainge really laid it on the line, and revealed the same beliefs
that a few of us have on this list. The part about the Walker and Pierce
core
not being good enough to win a championship, was particularly enlightening.
His denigration of Walker as the 3rd or 4th piece on a team was beautiful.
His knocking of the East, delightful.
Ainge knows his stuff Ladies and Gentleman, and you too Shawn and Cecil
(just kidding.)
More stuff:
- Ainge met with Coach Jimbo prior to the deal and said Obie had no
problem with the trade.
- Ainge met with Pierce beforehand, but didn't want to discuss what
Pierce's
reaction was.
- Ainge compared Walker to a 30 home run hitter that batted .230,
thinks LaFrentz could be a 10 homer, .300 guy.
- Ainge is big on percentages.
- Ainge said Dallas is loaded and they'll likely win 62 games.
