Sports: Worcester BLEW It! Again!

A couple of years ago there was a group of business owners that were
"looking into" the NBA creating an NBA Development League team in
Worcester, in partnership with the Boston Celtics. Now, you'd think it
would have made sense to everyone, but such was not the case.

The D-League team could have played at the DCU Center and brought
people and money into this great venue. Maybe the City was scared of
doing a deal because of previous dealings with folks like Roy Lucas,
Jr. of the defunct New England Surge?

Any how, the Celtics went on to make some great acquisitions- KG and
Ray Alllen- and win the NBA Championship in 2008.

Well, word is being announced today that Portland, Maine has been
awarded the NBA Development League franchise! The Celtics will end
their contract with the Utah franchise and former Celtics assisstant
coach Jon Jennings will head the Maine D-League team as president and
general manager.

Mayor Lukes and City Manager Michael O'Brien, you both catch an "L"
for this one! Great job! NOT!!!
