Ray,
The lesson being, as always, fuck Chad Ford and
everything he has to say.
Of course, we should have kept Joe Johnson, but
Kedrick will be just fine....but Danny, when you gonna
pick up that option? According to the paper, the
decision to pick up the option has already been made
(i.e., they not undecided, just lazy)...I guess Chad
Ford isn't a very diligent plagarist.

Kedrick Brown, F, Celtics: It's pretty clear now
that the Celtics kept the wrong kid. Boston had
three first-round draft picks in 2001. They took Joe
Johnson and Brown back-to-back and took Forte with
the No. 21 pick. The Forte debacle is well
documented. Could you imagine the Celtics with Tony
Parker right now? But the Johnson-Brown screw-up is
just as bad. First, the Celtics passed on Vladimir
Radmanovic and Richard Jefferson to take Brown.
Second, they traded away Johnson midway through his
rookie season for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers.
Neither player is still with the team. Meanwhile,
Johnson is averaging 17.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 2.9 apg
for the Suns in the preseason. Brown? His 11.1 ppg
and 4.1 rpg are career highs. But while the Suns now
believe they have a full-fledged star on their
hands, the Celtics are still undecided whether they
should extend Brown for another year. His
athleticism is superior, but he still hasn't shown
the head to be a NBA basketball player.
