Paul Shirley revisited

I knew it would be a long shot, particularly given the nature of my question. However, I had to try. So on Monday I posted the following on Paul Shirley’s ESPN.com chat:

“I am a huge Celtics fan. I have also followed you since your days with the Suns. Therefore I'd love to know your thoughts on one question: How much of a jerk was Mark Blount in camp? I can revisit the Mark Blount voodoo doll if necessary. Actually two questions. Did anyone give Eddie Griffin a hard time about his car accident? That's a comedic gold mine. Good luck with your next step.”

Of course there was no response. Yes it took me two days to get over it. But I undertood. The guy did not want to burn his bridges. Also Shirley raised an important point in his chat: teams are trying to get rid of players. They are not looking to take guys on. In a related story it is time to put a moratorium on rumors that include Scalabrine and “Insert young Celtics player here” for a borderline All-Star in return. It’s not going to happen.
