RE: Wayne Turner

Sure Josh, one of the elite crew of "learned writer geniuses"  strap on the
ol' kneepads and let em rip.  

I assume by your comments here, that what WR/WC/MG has had to say on the
matter makes perfect sense to you.  Let us know if Mercer, IYO, will be
traded most likely for Grant, Penny or Drunk Driving Boy Juwan.  Since this
is clearly a done deal, as was so many other clearly obvious deals, per Tom
and others (it is too bad there isn't a 2 month rule on this list, before
someone is considered the gospel, just because another buddy brought them to
the party).  He I got a pal too, who I might drag on board who immediately
will be the next coming of Peter Vescey, so get your snow shoes out of the
closet Martha.

Of course Ray must be reviewing his notes to let us all in on which Celtic
management genius is inviting Turner over for Sunday dinner, or which
"expert" proclaimed the Clippers deal done, not counting a live expert on
our own list here.  Or to me more importantly how a guys old coach actually
means anything period.  Wait a second guys I got my old ball coach on the
line and he has something to tell you all; "Greg here was the best player we
ever had, save for the other 7 guys on the team that year including Detlef
who apparently went on to play well in College, and should get a shot at
making the team.  I believe in his abilities, always have, it is a given he
will help whatever team capable of paying him to get to the next level, as
long as they take it one game at a time, and besides his English Comp
teachers all believe as well he is a very "learned genius writer" in the
mold of luminaries like Josh and Tom.  Give him a chance to shine, and
follow his dreams."  Thanks coach I couldn't have said it better myself.

Now my point in all this is "come out come out wherever you are"  I am not
buying it and smoking the grass won't help me like it has helped Ray.  With
the dreams of trades this guy invisions, there is no excuse for not ripping
off an easy 8 title string again soon, because everyone in the league wants
to see the Celtics succeed, always have, just like we bunch of wonderful
fans.  

One last request Sir Ray, you don't have to let us in on your real persona,
my begging up to now clearly hasn't provided you with security you need to
feel we aren't going to hunt you down and give you a group hug, but at least
let us know what city you live in.  This will help we at least to better
understand your insight to the upcoming Brian Grant trade that apparently is
all the rage with the kids these days, because the folks in Portland aren't
hip to your jive, and conjecture is not worth the price of admission these
days. 

Do us all a favor, maybe save for Josh and Tom, and fill in the blanks, to
allow yourself some degree of dignity.  You thought the entire respect
fiasco of about 3 weeks ago blew over, well not with most of us, so it is
time to step up to the plate and earn your pay.

poofy to you too....
Greg
