The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Ed Pinckney as an assistant coach today, continuing a disturbing trend of cashing in on the Celtic's sloppy seconds. Consequently, Minnesota now has way more players that have ever played game time for the Celtics than the Celtics do themselves.
Among the former green converted to carnivorous wood dwellers are the recently departed Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair, alondside the Retarded Giraffe Blount, and Ricky Davis. The coaching/administration features Kevin McHale, Jerry Sichting, and now Ed Pinckney. Not to mention Celtics' 2006 draft pick Randy Foye and BC grad Craig Smith hold down the Boston connection as well.
The only current Celtics who have ever suited up in a Boston uniform are Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins, Leon Powe, and Brian Scalabrine. As for coaching staff and upper management, all we've got for former C's is Danny Ainge. The next closest thing to a former Celtic on our bench is strength trainer Bryan Doo, a member of the storied early 90s Messiah College ultimate frisbee team.
Kevin McHale, never considered a top GM, has some rediculous tunnel vision. Somehow acquiring an entire roster of the Celtics dark years teams strikes me as unimaginative and unwise, but that's just me.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/09/minnesota-changes-team-name-to-celtics.html
