I could just spit. The Sonics traded Kenny Anderson to the Hornets for Elden Campbell. The Celtics traded Anderson for Vin Baker before the season. Baker has been an utter bust. Campbell would be a huge upgrade. This sucks more than I can possibly express.

Yeah, but they could have held onto Anderson with the intent of making a trade around this time. The real advantage of Campbell is that he's a free agent in '03, whereas Baker is an albatross for several more years.

The trade they did make is the one they had to make. It's OK. Blount is servicable, especially with Battie having injury problems. It kind of points out that they've given up on Baker, though; it's not a trade you'd make if Baker was gonna be solid.

I think most of the fans had given up on Baker well before this, heh.
