So after cracking a Labatts with my eggs and giving my kid a chocolate bar for breakfast, I've decided to write up my "dream" Celtics roster for the upcoming season.This is a realistic wish list.

Leon Powe
Bill Walker
Brian Scalabrine
Gabe Pruitt

for this list is: "We drafted that guy instead of THAT guy?! Damn."
Obviously, if the draftee turned out to be garbage, but there was
nothing but garbage drafted after him, then I really have no argument. I'll kick it all...
