The Celtics want Bill Walton for Cedric Maxwell.
Brittle Bill would be a great Celtic. He's unselfish, a
great rebounder, and a great passer, especially of the
outlet pass. I think we have a trade in the making. I
just hope Walton stays healthy (how many fans and teams
have said that??)
Red, I mean White, Auerbach is trying to get another
white player. Let me see, an all-white team of Bird,
McHale, Walton, Ainge and Wedman would not too bad. So
they can't run or jump, big deal.
I understand the Celts would pay half Maxwell's salary
and they would get a Clipper draft choice too. I think
they got a 1986 draft pick coming from Seattle for the
Henderson deal. With two draft picks next year, even
though the selection should be slim compared to this year,
they could really fill in any gaps they MIGHT have, i.e. a
driving guard besides DJ. Does Tiny Archibald have any
kids?
