Celtics are Pri(n)celess

I thought I read that Prince wasn't reporting and was getting bought out, now that doesn't appear to be the case .

I'd guess he ultimately is moved or bought out but as I've always preached.....young players aren't developed by a coaching staff they learn the game and grow as players from veteran teammates. Having Prince around is helping our young guys understand the game and how to play it at this level.

Yeah the current rumors are that he will be traded if they get a decent offer, but if they don't Stevens has been lobbying to keep him around instead of buying him out because he thinks he's a good guy to be a veteran leader.

Well if this keeps up, the Celtics will make the playoffs, a prospect about which I am quite ambivalent.

I agree. Prince, along with Crash, bring the kind of experience and wisdom that will accelerate the growth of the young players both on and off the court. To me that is greater value than another 2nd round pick.

A good February, followed by a Prince trade and a tailspin March, will take care of that nightmare.

Indeed. Hopefully this good faith run, followed by a return to normalcy will create some good pingpong-balls-don't-lie karma later on.
