Via the Worcester Telegram & Gazette:
“I like them when they’re healthy,” Maxwell said of the Celtics’
chances to raise banner No. 18. “Last year, they played courageous
ball. You had only six guys playing in 14 games, and they just ran out
of gas.”
On Rasheed Wallace:
“I love him,” Maxwell said. “He can play multiple roles. He’ll elongate
the floor. He brings outside shooting. He can give (Kevin Garnett)
rest. He’ll be like P.J. Brown was for them two years ago, but he
brings more scoring (a 15-point career average). He also has great
enthusiasm, which can be contagious.”
On Glen Davis:
“The money is starting to dry up,” Maxwell said of Davis, who averaged
15.8 points in 14 postseason games last year. “This economy is killing
him. The salary cap has shrank, but I think they would like to keep
him.”
On Marquis Daniels:
“Well, I would hope they would get him,” Maxwell said. “He’s not a bad shooter, not a bad defender. They can use him.”
On referee Violet Palmer:
"Go back to the kitchen...go in there and make me some bacon and eggs, would you?"
Oops. That last quote wasn't from this most recent interview. I still find it hilarious.
