June 1983
1983-84 Boston Celtics
The quotes have been nice and the smiles have been wide, but the Celtics didn't completely achieve their objective in their War of the Greenbacks with the Knicks. New York fouled the master plan by matching Boston's offers to Rory Sparrow, Marvin Webster and Sly Williams.
Once the Knicks went after Kevin McHale, Red Auerbach and Harry Mangurian went after the Knicks. The Celtics' master plan, a tad Machiavellian, was as follows:
- Match any offer for McHale and keep him in Boston.
- Sign Sparrow, Williams and Webster.
- Keep Sparrow and deal Williams and Webster for draft choices. The Celtics reportedly had those deals set to go.
If that had happened, Boston would have picked up Sparrow, still would have had McHale and also would have obtained the draft choices (from the Williams-Webster trades).
New York, meanwhile, would have been decimated by signing McHale, losing Sparrow, Webster and Williams, and having already allowed Paul Westphal to depart so that McHale could be signed. The Knicks then would be out four players from their rapidly improving '82-83 team bu going after McHale. A heavy punishment, indeed, for attempting to snatch McHale.
