Re: Baker

["Art Silva" <vzd1s1hb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I imagine the Celtics will try and do just that but it won't be easy. The
team will argue that they had an agreement and that Baker is unable to
perform. The players association will certainly raise their objection. Their
argument will be that Baker can still perform even though he has relapsed.
While it is true that Baker can't perform at the level his contract merits
that's not the way it is written. They will say he can still play
basketball. It's in the unions best interest that nothing happens to Baker
because of alcohol. How it will eventually play out in the end I have no
idea. The only way the battle migh be side stepped is if Baker just up and
retires. Somehow I don't see that happening
