You -- won't who would all of the stalled who took the felt and it was off and -- fair to --

And he 87 group of -- any particular 72 guy just some -- they hired off the streets there's is a real real a real person -- somebody who plays again.

Affect what disparity in a while -- goes -- and that ergo you know. I expect him -- all district apart.

By you know we in when you're in the NBA you see a lot of 72 guys so it's not like you need his name right effect. Why -- certain ALU had a great season last year a year you've made some serious serious progress this team you were seventh overall the NBA in rebounds permitted -- 48 minutes which is an impressive stat. You were also a tenth of the NBA in double doubles. -- numbers when you're you're bonafide 1611 guy how much of that was due to increased I guess responsibility on your partner based on what happened last year with the Celtics and how much of that which is based on your normal growth that you bring don't ruin your career.

Well well you're. But what we're we're repairs or are there -- Analogue or -- church a couple of feet from America regain it -- And that includes you -- right true if you're. Our -- our belt which or partial to all work or work or award like I've played -- You know all wrong -- in particular you -- regular order that work.

You really really did have a great season -- nova grown into this offseason there was so many different rumors going around you know the Garnett trade and your army major piece in the puzzle here. And then of course the the ping pong balls go to the number five pick. At in the trade with -- ray Allen what was it like for you sit there watching all this stuff take place with your name right swirling through the middle of it and are you relieved that that you're still going to be part of the Celtics.

You have a -- article about what -- the -- and oh so there's maybe Gary carpentry you know work on though. Great chance for me to be truthful on another in the near -- You know.

Yeah so -- he's and it's not like he's chop liver you know this is sick after it has made his bones. In the NB are you glad though that now there's you -- put together plan based on your part of -- of the ray Allen Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson a trio.

There number sort of because now I'm not view it must build new ballpark every Paul PepsiCo. And aren't just popular gallantly you know -- don't know -- in induced. Not not a miracle well now which is brought up support in order to change very registered with the you know I don't know about out on the lucrative field. Great leader of great golf course those guys won't be around great great -- in the opener to.

So you look at for AB's so a low few more uncontested situations this year without. Now all the additional pressure of UB in the the one of the top two guys they gotta watch out for.

Do you stressed Tuesday in part by all all -- It would hurt eight -- moment -- ago. Also people are youngsters have been using older you know the off the -- could completely. You know -- over to you know beat very good club alone north archer provision of us who allowed. And on the field for the club local ago poultry through a little more and two but we're -- there. It was a great that is its air Bart will move well you're blocked --

there's still any possible because you're here this once and a while still -- there's still might be something that Danny -- might have up his -- not necessarily. Affecting you per say but it one more additional week he might try to do this team before you get underway.

You don't know you know this apparently four -- you know oh. What better partner obviously -- you know are there at all oh in the government reform -- because there aren't that well. They're they're toward a -- because if you'd better have some great you know we demand was garbage. And I know you will do people who know what -- so.

Is there or not you three years into the league and is there a particular guy you can -- single out as an opponent. Pool is just a pain in the ass for you or you don't like to play against as he gives you a lot of trouble or somebody New Year if you could avoid him you -- is or can you name one of those guys.

You know all. If -- got look for players involved there's. Because we're not there -- our if if we got a that it you might think are like it wants you know. One of the supporters before our. Ago there you know -- do -- any group or -- so cool a lot of V news edit it work out. You're going she -- here. Just know that triggered they'll they'll all be in the -- involved you know drop off of a lot of great respect and I'll look again. Rated buy because if you dispute we got the -- call based off to yourself. In Oklahoma the elect -- worker and made the -- to pick partners -- I don't know.

Even if you are coming out of the game with a few more bruises ethnic or anybody name Wallace's I can play against. Now you got a summer camp coming over the Celtics do that you're -- a couple of appearances in the fourth consecutive summer the Celtics and basketball city or hosting it weeklong. Basketball camp for kids between the -- 816 it that takes place it. The Waltham the sports authority training general there in Waltham and I guess big Al's going to be there July 20 and August 10 is that accurate.

It just computer like working with kids now -- that it -- She don't be -- bodies of bureau. I got Arafat looked up -- while talkative or deliberate you know redo your Q what -- Do you have all.

You know the result of course the Celtics fans were all excited they -- they're going to get Greg Oden and and and what kind of addition I might have been. To the Celtics 77 footer in addition do you down low. And then you know the the whole -- deal going up from there the fact is though. You're going to be counted on to do all all the big man's work this year and as a guy who last year would 1611. That's pretty impressive are you look at improve those numbers are and as it's of the do you have a goal in -- we same momma gonna be 18 and 12 guy or something this year.

You don't always. Group -- belt. You know our for the so called for the straight start start for you don't always room for improvement which at all RBs not being traded. -- bit deceptive aren't looking for me to do it very. And for the record doubles or or saw a lot is very you know just to afford to run up to do to change -- law. You always -- and give up you know he bought at a -- pursue east tournament quite awful. You know if Europe you know if it got to do their adequacy of awful Oglesby right nothing you rate in the -- oh. It'll if traffic -- ever -- ultimately about the -- support on both these are our topic you know we've resolved look there's two other thing. If those goes into the playoffs your you to -- they want.

How's the transition between out two coming you can out of high school and your first year in the Celtic semi you couldn't even buy -- beer but now. Now you're not an and it ended by the way you know it's not like. And you don't look your rage right. I you go out there and now you're 22 years old you've been in the league already for three years and what's it like being in Boston -- the young athlete and making the transition directly from high school in the pros -- is that working out pretty well for you.

Partial though we're all real world all of our qualifying for the who have all the you're companies not not -- what is very. You don't know what. If it is on the part -- know. Walk so they're reputed review group of figured it was spoke over the injuries I'd do I'd give -- review -- or who worked basically.

All of this victory Rivera -- or ovals or how many how many current threes you got so far oh Robert war I could we got to dump one in this -- Robby if you -- about their -- issues right.

You have got to live coming out immediately the tripping legal principle or victory will be a group -- they have oh we've played very well -- prospects government reform law. I would be included in helping players that we do all alternative theory. And now -- dole -- a finger at afloat in a real change -- so what made this ever worry -- have been sighted move by if not that will be -- you're part of this and -- you do because it's.

I think some people are going to be looking for a similar growth that you had from season two to three maybe some of that activity from -- on. This guy can really -- he's a very very quick player. Are you thinking that he might emerge as one of the star point guards in the near future.
