"Atkins also has provided leadership in a locker room that was maudlin, rudderless, and seeping with tension before his arrival.

Atkins claims he was unaware of most of that when he came aboard...

"When I got traded to Boston, the first thing I did was look at the standings. Then I said, `Yo, what's going on with this place?' "

He discovered a group of players who were angry at their front office for blowing up the team, and often angry with each other for being unable to piece together the rubble. "

Who says Danny Ainge only trades for ath-a-letes and doesn't care about character?
