The Celtics are an up and coming team ... maybe that will light a fire unders Baker's ass! He did play college out in Hartford so maybe a change of locale will help .. I doublt it and how will he fit in withe Walker and Pierce. There still is only one basketball.

I believe the Celts just stepped down a rung on the talent ladder. Baker is a pant-load! He plays when he feels like it..

I know the deal was to beef up bostons front court, but taking Kenny Anderson away from boston leaves them with a huge whole at the point, who will step in, a shoot first guard in Delk, an unproven Shammond Williams, any ideas..?
