COMMENTARY
June 1980. Beta version of Twitter. Apoplectic Celtics fans, probably:
Joe Barry Carroll is a generational big with an impeccable work ethic! Robert Parish is lazy and doesn’t run the floor! Kevin McHale is a no-moves stiff with coat-hanger shoulders! Danny Ainge is the next Brooks Robinson!
Right, the beta version of Twitter featured more than 140 characters, obviously. I assume you know where I’m coming from on this, but then it’s not safe to assume anyone gets anything these days that requires context, perspective, and patience. So excuse me while I tomahawk-dunk the point:
The Celtics’ stunning blockbuster trade with the Sixers Saturday night in which Ainge – that one-time Blue Jays third baseman who decades later is the Celtics’ president of basketball operations and chief decision-maker – traded the rights to draft Washington guard Markelle Fultz No.
