Maybe Wally and Raef can get a 2 for 1 deal. Buy one surgery, get one free.
I actually read that, was going to post that, and didn't. On the positive side, we'll probably see Green explode and once again be calling for Rivers' head.
Loved what Wally did this year! He played great. This will probably equal TA starting for the rest of the season and GG seeing even more time.

Szczerbiak has always had knee problems, yet we traded for him, much like we traded for someone who has also always had knee problems in Raef LaFrentz.
Yeah, these deals make real sense. On a more relevant note, this is quite unfortunate. My guess is that Szczerbiak is not going to be fully recovered for the rest of his career and even though the season is over and it doesn't matter that he won't be playing (better draft pick, actually), I have little doubt that this injury will affect his ability and production next season and possibly multiple seasons after that.
Not too good at all! I think Wally surpassed most people's expectations coming in here. He played great (though most of his numbers were lower than career averages.) He seemed to blend in with this team moreso than Ricky did. I think we should definitely hold on to him. One question though: do you think the Celtics record would be higher/lower if this trade hadn't occurred?

Higher because of the time it takes to learn Doc's system, but if Wally had been with the Celtics throughout the entire year, we would finish with a better record. This still does not rationalize the trade, in my opinion, as I think it had dire long-term implications.
That's too bad. Knees are never quite the same after surgery. He played well in a Celtic uni. I'm kinda pissed off now, actually...if DA knew he was playing on one knee, this trade (once again) makes no sense.
I'm effing pissed off, now...and drunk...
Probably why I'm agreeing with E.H. on a Wally issue. I must have been drinking...

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that we didn't just do a Banks/Blount/Reed swap for Kandiman.

Drinking never really hurt Hemingway; it just killed him (well, along with his bipolar).
Pfft. Hemingway's overrated.
As for Wally's knee, if we get stuck with another "can't produce" situation for $12 mill, well...suffice it to say I won't be happy and I won't be supporting Danny Ainge a whole lot anymore.
