Just a few comments on the postings about all the Celtic players from a
non-Celtic basketball fan.
      
 Larry Bird-- It is true the Celtics drafted Bird after his junior year
              a gamble that has obviously paid off, but, what if they 
              didn't sign him by the next draft? They would have lost a
              first round draft choice.
  
 Kevin McHale- Another choice that has obviously paid off but he was
               a relative unknown until the Aloha Classic. And two teams
               passing him up is no surprise. I don't remember who went
               before him.
    
 Danny Ainge- Come on now. Ainge is a better than average player on the
              Celtics but an average player at best on many other teams.
   
 Bill Walton- Although this looks like a good trade I must wait and see
              how it works out. Remember Walton hasn't played a full season
              for many years.
  
 Scott Wedman- Picked up from Cleveland. That is all that needs to be said.
              Cleveland has not been known for their brilliant trades.
       
 Kite, Carlyle etc-- I fail to see any great talent here.
        
Although I do not like the Celtics, I must admit they are a great basketball
team. They have made some great trades and draft picks but they have also
made their share of mistakes. I don't see many of their picks since Mchale
on any teams making any great impact.
