Vescey on NBA-TV regarding a conversation with Pierce

[Ryan W <ubiquitous_am_i@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vescey made some pretty interesting comments tonight
on NBA-TV.  First, apparently Peter has talked to Paul
recently and Paul is very concerned with the team's
direction.  He told Peter he was wondering how old he
would be once Danny's 'masterplan' came to fruition
(specifically asking Vescey how old Jordan was when he
started winning his championships).  Paul also openly
questioned (according to Vescey, remember) why Mihm
and Davis weren't starting and playing more (at which
point Vescey interjected that the proposed Mihm/Mills
for Howard/somebody else was another head-scratcher in
the sense that once again Danny was trading expiring
contracts for long-term contracts in a deal where the
talent exchanged is either a wash or slightly
disadvantageous from the C's perspective...). Paul
also made the statement to Vescey that he thought the
Celtics had perpetrated three of the worst trades in
the past 20 years by trading Joe Johnson in the
Rogers/Delk trade, by trading Kenny/Vitaly in the
Baker deal, and by trading Antoine this past October. 
All in all, Vescey said he was surprised about the
tone of Paul's comments; from reading what the local
papers report, Vescey had formerly been under the
impression that Paul was taking the changes well.  Not
so anymore, Vescey concluded.   

Of course, this entire post has a caveat in the form
of Peter Vescey, noted purveyor of falsehoods and
half-truths.  Nonetheless, very interesting.
