If it's any solace to Celts fans, he was never going to get a shot here, anyways, so it's just as well that we got something for him instead of letting him go for nothing.

what a surprise...the kid can play...its not like every one of us didnt know that already...chauncey billups jr you are now free to get a shot in the nba
This part of the deal never bothered me. I've been on record saying that Banks/Reed/Blount for Olowokandi would have been a great deal. Banks wasn't ever going to get a shot here, he's not the sort of player that Rivers is looking for at the 1, Doc's offense has always run through the wing, and in his set the 1 plays off the ball, so West was a better fit than someone like Banks. But some of the people here have gone out of their way to unnecessarily defame the kid for whatever trollish reasons. I'm glad to see him getting a chance to prove people wrong. Doubly so considering the way some Celtic "fans" have treated him.

“From what they told me, I’m going to be walking out of surgery - no crutches or anything,” Szczerbiak said. “They say 2-6 weeks for any cartilage-type surgery like that, but I don’t have any serious tears, so I’m hoping 2-3 weeks.”

2-3 weeks? Sounds minor enough, but we'll have to wait and see. At least he'll have all offseason to rehab it.

Timing is perfect? You didn't like Tony Allen's knee surgery two days before the season starts?
Just think of how badly he'd've injured the knee if he were a better shot.
