Let’s cut it out with the trading Mookie talk

At this point I’ve been doing this for a long time — damn near a decade, which is wild to me. There’s been a lot of side effects on my life from doing this for so long, but one of them is that I have sort of become unaffected by various opinions I deem as bad. Part of it is that I’ve been wrong enough in a very public fashion that, ya know, I’ve realized I might not be as smart as I like to think! The other is that I’ve remembered it’s part of being a fan. I know I’ve argued some things that are objectively wrong about the Celtics — I still hate the Isaiah Thomas trade even though it was obviously the right move — but I let rational thought go out the window.
