There is a full transcript on Celtics.com and if you can find the time to read the whole thing there is a lot of inside info that I found very interesting. But the thing that really jumped off the page at me was this: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Matter of fact, it was interesting, Doc would probably share this with you if he were here this morning but he had an opportunity to talk with Jiri and with Gary yesterday with the trades and with the other guys too. But two interesting things they said… Doc does a good job when guys are moving on and he wants to know what he can do to be better and what our team can do, and what their perception of our team is and so forth. And they both said that Tony and Al are getting a lot of attention as being these good young guys that they are developing. But both Jiri and Gary felt like Delonte may be the best of all of them.</div> Thats pretty high praise, especially from a point guard of Gary's stature...
He may just be talking him up, but there's likely enough behind it to substantiate it also. West is always under control, which I like. His physical gifts aren't the best, but he makes up for it, IMO.
Thanks for the link. That was a very interesting read. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">And then Justin Reed ? Justin Reed, I?ll tell you what. You know, Paul Pierce came up to me a couple of weeks ago and he just said, ?When is Justin going to get to play?? And that?s because Paul has to go against him in practice everyday. And I think he feels like he?s playing against Ron Artest everyday in practice. This kid is tough. He can defend. He can rebound. He?s not a great athlete kind of like Artest. He?s more to the ground. He?s not a high flying act, but he can knock down open shots. And we think that Justin, because of that tenacity and that strength of his, we think he has a chance to be a really nice role player for us for years to come. </div>He also says that some of Jiri's minutes will go to Reed, which is great, because anybody that has Paul's approval, has my approval.
