Is red trying the whiten the green? If I'm not mistaken, the Boston Red Sox were the last Major League team to get a black player. I think it was even as late as 1967. I think the addition of Walton is an excellent move. He is a great player and his whole game always emphasized fundamentals so I'm not worried about his age. Living in L.A., I've seen him play with the Clippers and he is an awesome rebounder when he wants to be. He can just dominate the boards at times. I think he'll be healthy because he's psyched up to play with a contender, his boyhood faves, the Celts. Plenty of stars have come back after they were traded. I think he's brittle because he's a vegetarian. They'll make a meateater out of him. Not to mention a Lakerbreaker. ##### ##### # # # # # # ##### ##### # # # # # # ##### ##### Go Celts!
