No surprise, Melo and Joseph off to Maine

It's beautiful in Maine this time of year...

and a much better place to play and develop than the end of the Celtic bench.

It's as good a move for the future as moving Terry and Bass into the starting lineup was for the present. Hopefully Melo will be able to get his game to a level where he can play in the NBA, but he's awfully raw and has a lot of work to do. I hope he can finally focus and learn the game; he's certainly got the size we need.
