Why Did The Celtics Wait On Free Agency?

[Berry, Mark S]

I just don't see it this season. There are too many holes and it's not
as simple as throwing it all together and VOILA! ... Championship! I
still believe you need to learn how to play together and things like
that. I just don't see it all coming together this season.

Well Mark, hmmm.
A good answer, but there still may be hope this season
via a trading deadline deal and before that, a
released
veteran or two - considering how mediocre the Celtics
bench is, you can't tell me that there won't be
players waived during training camp, whom are better
than the present bench cast.

And there's always Reggie Miller, LOL.
Nah, maybe he can still play - to me if he's
got anything left, he should be better than
Pruitt.
