Re: [Celtics' Stuff ] Trade nothing to get excited over

[lapdoggy <lapdoggy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for a little dose of realism. I think a lot of Boston fans are  
still suffering from the A-Rod debacle, of course that could be argued  
as well. (A-Rod while losing both Manny and Nomar?)
But as far as today's trade is concerned I'm not sure why some people  
are grading it an "F". From what I remember, everyone was wondering  
what Danny was doing signing James in the first place? James had heart,  
I'll give him that, but he's nothing to get teared up about.
The C's showed more team chemistry tonight than they have in a while.  
Maybe having the deadline done and over with in this year of upheaval  
will help.
Adkins may well have something to prove after putting in a lot of hard  
work in Detroit. I would love nothing more than to see Dumars or Thomas  
get shocked by the C's in the first round this year.
I think Danny has got a hell of a lot out a trade involving Antione  
Walker. But then again I think Twan's best days are far behind him.
Walker/Delk/James= 2 first round picks, LeFrenz, Welsch, Adkins, Hunter  
and cash. Let's not forget that Twan threatened to bolt town if his max  
contract wasn't re-up'd. I know some morn Twan's loss, but personally I  
see all of this movement as forward progress.
I also think that there will be a few greatly qualified coaches that  
will be happy to take on a Celtic team with a new direction and 3 first  
round picks to work with next June. So to sum up a bunch of crap, I'm  
glad Obie's gone and I look forward to the future.
