Al Jefferson

[Frederick Hurley]

I want to say, now that the trade is being reported as a done deal, that I
wish Al Jefferson nothing but the best.  I hope he becomes one of the best
power forwards in the league in the coming years, and has a long,
successful career.  During him time with Boston, whenever he was asked
about trade rumors, he always said he loved the tradition of the Boston
Celtics, and wanted to be part of the next generation of that tradition,
and I really did want to see that happen.  Good luck, Al.  I hope Minny
and Boston alternate title runs for years to come.   ;-)
