It’s been close to three years now since Tyree Ricardo Davis became the incoming centerpiece of a deal between the Celtics and Wolves that sent Wally Szczerbiak to Boston. We remember where we were: at a Twins’ post-season gala. Not sure why we remember that, but we do. In any event, we remember talking ourselves into liking that deal at the time. Ultimately, of course, it became another example of moving bodies around — and creating more contract problems (and other problems) via Davis and Mark Blount. It’s yet another reminder that in the Wolves’ desperation to surround Kevin Garnett with secondary scorers, they eventually sabotaged themselves to the point where another trade had to be made with Boston. Yeah, you know the one. In any event: always remember that talking yourself into a trade usually means it’s not a good trade.
