"I sat with Red [Auerbach] during a Christmas party [20 years ago]. Red was talkingtoLarry (Bird), Kevin (McHale), and myself, and there was a lot of trade discussion at the time, and Red actually shared some of the trade discussions. And I told Red, 'What are you doing? Why are you waiting?'
"He had a chance to trade Larry [to Indiana] for Chuck Person and Herb Williams and [Steve] Stipanovich, and he had a chance totradeKevin [toDallas] forDetlefSchrempfand Sam Perkins. I was, like, 'Are you kidding?'
"I mean, I feel that way now. If I were presented with those kinds of deals for our aging veterans, it's a done deal, to continue the success."
