Gret trade?

[Gregg Allen]

I checked out the youtube link.  Thanks.  Big Baby is indeed big, but he is 
certainly not fat.  He looks impressive, and hopefully will prove to be a 
steal.  When I first ran the video, I couldn't pick out Big Baby, because I 
was looking for a fat guy.  I was really shocked to see how built Big Baby 
is.  He looks like Shaq in his prime, albeit a few inches shorter. Everyone 
should check out this video.

  I'm a bit surprised at the volume of posts, here and elsewhere, that verge 
on suggesting that you can stick a fork in Ray Allen.  I'm not buying it. 
Ray Allen is not only a good player, but he's a character guy.  Isn't that 
what so many were clamoring for?  I understand that we didn't address our 
positional needs with the trade, but I believe there are likely to be 
additional moves prior to the start of the season.  I'm hopeful that we will 
be a much improved team by then.
