Such was the case for Perkins yesterday at the team’s HealthPoint training facility in Waltham.

by FLCeltsFan 2:53 PM
May 30, 2006
| Danny Ainge: Hi everybody. I don't know who is all on the line with us. But obviously the Draft Lottery has just been completed.
I'm not really disappointed. I guess we were holding out some hope for the possibility of moving up in the draft but we have been preparing for this position in the draft since the season ended. And we feel very confident that we're going to get a very good player. And we're excited about the number seven pick. It's a good thing we didn't move backwards. And I think we're going to get a very good player that can help us be a better team.
