Bob Ryan part. 2
One more thing, Ryan poo-poos that we lost Ryan Gomes but a) we probably wouldn't have been able to re-sign Gomes next season (if he's as good as we all like to think he is) and b) could you imagine turning down a deal for Kevin Garnett because of Ryan Gomes?! I've grown to really admire Gomes and appreciate his game (and its constant improvement) but honestly, if Ainge came back and said, we almost had KG but they wanted Gomes, I think people would have called him insane. And to be honest, I think Bob Ryan probably would have complained about that as well.
